Compatibility notes (for GUI)

• 

  • Tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Not tested on 8 and 8.1, but it should work too. Windows 7 is not compatible (should not work on earlier versions)

• 

  • Tested and builded on Ubuntu 22.04.2. This system comes with glibc 2.35 and it was required by the executable when testing on other machines (Ubuntu 20.04 and Kali Linux 2021.4a). So, should work fine on system containing this library, for example:
    • Ubuntu 21.10+
    • Fedora 35+
    • Arch Linux (rolling release)

  Glibc version can be checked by ldd --version command

Contribute

• If you are a developer and would like to contribute, install all dependencies in requeriments.txt, via

  pip install -r requeriments.txt

• GUI is made entirely with PyQt5 and Qt Designer. You can edit the .ui files using it. After each change, remember to regenerate .py files. For example, after editing main.ui:

  pyuic5 -x main.ui -o main.py

  After it, comment the line #import resource_rc (it's already imported on start.py)

• Thestart.py is the main file and simplecrypt.py is the script that encrypt and decrypt files.

• PyInstaller is a good option to create a executable files. You can install it via pip

  pip install PyInstaller

• To create executable file, run pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=padlock.ico start.py
