aescrypt-gui update to use keyfiles

Wonderful tool, thank you. I like the new GUI but it only prompts for a password, not a keyfile. That would be nice to have.
I have just upgraded to version 3.14 on Ubuntu 18.04 without issue.
I create a folder at ~/.aescrypt and generated a keyfile in there for use for a specific person.
When I installed the GUI and tried it in nautilus it prompted me for a password only. I have bash scripts to to the work for me but would be nice to have the GUI use keyfiles as well.
I envision an environment variable or command line parameter for the keyfile folder and then have the prompt ask for either a password or a keyfile.
Is the GUI available in github as well? I could try this myself (retired s/w engineer with little Java knowledge).
