[wptab name=’Known bugs and issues’]

• Unfortunately Protect Folder v3.0 and above can’t recover passwords from folders protected with previous versions of Protect Folder, this is because this is a new feature added to Protect Folder v3.0 and above.
• If you try to protect a folder with only a 0 byte file it will show the ErrorX25, this is not really important because if a file has 0 byte it means it has no information at all. However if you think this is important to you, just request this feature using the contact form or the comments bellow.
• Using the TAB key with protect folder is not very user-friendly due to some issues with the skin.

[/wptab]
[wptab name=’New features’]

NEW : Password recovery option – If you protect a folder with password, Protect Folder will request you an email to recover you password in case you loose it (optional).

NEW : Choose working directory – It’s now possible to choose a working directory, this will have all the temporary files. Useful if you have low disk space and need to choose another location.

NEW : Protecting an empty folder – We don’t judge, so if you want to protect an empty folder, it’s up to you and it’s now available!

NEW : Cancel (un)Protection – Change your mind? It’s fine, you can now cancel it if you’re not too further in the protection operation.

NEW : Folder compression – Now Protect Folder will work quickly and compress the folder better, also you have more compression levels to choose from.

NEW : Big files support – The limitation for files smaller than 4GB was removed, now it’s possible to protect a folder with files bigger then 4GB.

NEW : Delete source folder – You can choose to delete source folder after a new protected folder is created (optional).

NEW : Avoid overwrite – Protect folder will now check for an already protected folder with the same name before proceed, if exists you’ll be warned.

NEW : License Shop – The option to buy a license in the application was removed, now you will be redirected to Gromicho AF Systems Shop.

NEW : Improved design – Protect Folder now looks ten times better and it has bigger buttons to help usage on touch devices.

NEW : Minimize it, it’s fine – Now the (un)locking progress will be shown in Windows task bar, this means you can minimize Protect Folder and do other stuff while keeping an eye on the progress.

NEW : Licensing system improved – The licensing system was completely redesigned and now you’ll have a much more smaller and user friendly license. This will also avoid typing and pasting mistakes when registering your Protect Folder version.

NEW : Hide password – In previous version of Protect Folder, when you checked the “show password” option, the password would remain visible until the end of the operation. Now as soon as you press the “Lock button” the password will be hidden again. So if you’re protecting a large folder you can just get away from  your computer knowing no one can see your password.

NEW : Send email when done – If you use this new option, Protect Folder will send you an email after protecting or unprotecting a folder.

NEW : Save settings to file – You can now save all Protect Folder settings to a file, so it will be completely portable.

NEW : Multi-Language – We reintroduced the multi-language feature. Please click here to see all available languages. If you want to make a translation to your language click here, you won’t regret.

[wptab name=’Bug fixes‘]

FIXED: Better cleaning up – Sometimes Protect Folder would leave some temporary files behind..Now it won’t!

FIXED: Encryption state freeze – Now the application will never freeze again during encryption stage, avoiding the “not responding” state.

FIXED: Error handling – Protect Folder has a better error handling, including checking for paths too long that Windows can’t handle.
