At the moment encrypted archives are not supported, but this feature is already on my todo list.

Anyway, the problem I > meet actually probably comes from my side! :) I tested the GUI also with openSUSE 13.1 running as a KDE Desktop and the GUI is full functional, beside a small bug which turned out as a qt feature, but I have worked around this so it's is no problem any more. There should be no gnome dependency. You only need the GTK framework and gtkmm, which is a C ++ wrapper around GTK to provide an object-oriented programming interface. Which desktop environment are you using? XFCE, MATE, ... Can you run gdar from command-line. Are there any warnings or errors printed while runtime regarding GTK? I would like to fix this problem, its likely that you are not the only one who feels not so familiar with Gnome 3. > > On the right top of the window there is a switch sliding left/right (0 > <-> 1) but I could not figure out its feature. Maybe this was also due > to my gnome-unfriendly system! Sorry for that. Yea, the switch is a little bit tricky. It's meant to display hidden files. It should be documented in the README in section manual. When you have an idea to make this feature more intuitive, let me know. > > I conclusion, for what I could see, I liked it :-) .

I'm proud to announce the new homepage about gdar: https://peckto.github.io/gdar/ It would be really nice if you could send a note about my project to dar-news. Through the program is in beta state, it would be nice to have some bug-reports :-). For the link on your documentation I think it would be the best to await the release 1.0. Further more I plan to submit gdar to the package repositories of well known Linux distributions. The spec file for rpm packages is almost ready and waits for gdar v1.0 to be released. While the packages for Ubuntu and Debian take a little bit more time, since they have problems with the 64Bit release of libdar or provide an too old version. I will query the responsible package maintainer for an update. > >> Regards, Tobias >> > Best Regards, > Denis. Regards, Tobias |
