Axcrypt leaves many files visible (UNencrypted) even when program exited

[Juste]

Hello Friends.

I do not understand why so many talks on an extraordinary FAILURE of the product. Whatever situation, there SHOULD NOT BE unencrypted version of files hidden somewhere.

1. The Appdata folder should be externalised, in order to put it on a custom location

2. The working directory SHOULD BE ALWAYS EMPTY

Axcrypt can use programming technique to do this in memory, and protect it.

Amazing !

If AxCrypt or your system was shut down forcibly or unexpectedly, the application may not have had sufficient time to complete all pending operations. In such cases, upon restarting AxCrypt, you may be prompted to clean up and re-encrypt the saved files. Once the cleanup process is completed, the temporary files will be automatically removed and all recent updates restored.

In order to remove local temporary content:

1. Open the AxCrypt application.
2. Sign-in
3. Navigate to File > Options > Clear All Settings & Restart from the menu

The new AxCrypt application currently in Beta phase allows you to configure the temporary file path directory. Download here, install and sign-in. Follow the steps: Settings > Advanced Settings > App Configuration to set up personalized temporary folder.
