    Hello,

    AxCrypt should detect and use proxies just like any other software in your computer.

    We have one report where multiple network connections has caused a problem.

    How is your proxy configured in Windows? Can you send a screen shot of this?

    Best regards,

    Svante

    Hello Laurence,

    The password is indeed used to encrypt your files (although indirectly, which was the case in AxCrypt 1.x also). Technically it’s used to encrypt a “session key”, a unique, per file, completely random key.

    It is never stored on the server, and the connection to the server is always encrypted, so while the password in fact does travel over the Internet it does so safely.

    As for sending files to other people, you’re supposed to use the much more convenient “key sharing” feature of AxCrypt 2. No need to share the password then. Just add the recipients e-mail address to the list of users who should be able to decrypt the file.

    Regards,

    Svante

    Hello,

    Tested with a large file without any problems. Probably something else, and we’ve improved error reporting in many ways the last days. Can you please try again with the most recent version of AxCrypt?

    Great!

    Glad to hear it all worked out for you, and thank you for helping us identifying an area of improvement. We’ve logged an issue to be fixed soon that should provide a better error message should this situation occur for someone else.

    Good luck!

    Regards,

    Thanks!

    Will be corrected in the next snapshot release. We’re operating with a continuous delivery process, but to keep it less annoying for users with continuous upgrades we typically release once a week right now unless we fix something really important.

    Hello,

    No you do not have to uninstall 1.7.x to install 2.x, it’ll upgrade cleanly. However, you may be asked to reboot. If so, do so, otherwise you may experience some issues.

    Hello,

    You wrote: “In other hand, If I click on the right button on try with the same files and choose open with xnview, it is open correctly without any message from Axcrypt“.

    From this I gather that the file is in fact not encrypted! AxCrypt should give a better message of course, but that seems to be the main problem.

    You also wrote: “So even if the files does not have any axx extension, the Axcrypt message is displayed (I try to rename as you said in RDG-F1507004-jpg.axx unfortunately with the same message. This kind of dysfunction was appears just after install version 2

    Not really sure what you mean here, but there is one thing that is very, very certain. AxCryt did *not* assocate .jpg with itself. It cannot do so. It does not have the code to do so. It *only* assoicates with .axx. I am *very* sure that this is caused by a manual action by yourself. Probably you lost or did not have any association for .jpg, and then windows asked you what you wanted to open the file with, and then you picked AxCrypt.

    Finally you wrote: “I try to rename as you said in RDG-F1507004-jpg.axx“.

    This of course is a really bad idea, since it appears that the problem was the other way around. The file is simply not encrypted, but you have associated AxCrypt with .jpg, causing the whole problem. Renaming it to .axx as under the assumption that the file really was encrypted, and you had renamed it before. But that does not appear to be the problem here.

    In any case, it seemst like the main problem here is that you have .jpg associated with AxCrypt. Please google and find out how to change that association to your viewer of choice, probably XN View that you have mentioned.

    That will cause that file to open (because it’s not encrypted, it’s just a plain image file)! This appears not to be an AxCrypt issue, but rather a misconfiguration in your PC. However, I may be wrong, but it looks that way from what you’ve told me so far.

    Regards,

    Svante

    Can you really open non-encrypted .jpg-files? You mention .png, but this is about .jpg.

    This question remains unanswered: Why is the file named “RDG-F1507004.jpg”, (ending with .jpg) and why does it have an AxCrypt Icon?

    Hello,

    Why is the file named “RDG-F1507004.jpg”, (ending with .jpg) and why does it have an AxCrypt Icon?

    It looks like you have done the following:

    1 – Renamed the file from “RDG-F1507004-jpg.axx” to “”RDG-F1507004.jpg”
    2 – Associated “.jpg” with AxCrypt. That’s very wrong. AxCrypt opens AxCrypt-encrypted files, not images.

    You never did answer the following:

    Also can you confirm that I have understood you correctly in that you *can* decrypt it, by right-clicking and selecting “AxCrypt | Decrypt” ? Can you also confirm that you *can* open it in a picture viewer after you have decrypted it?

    I suspect that you *can* decrypt it, but you cannot open *any* .jpg-file in your computer. If so, this is *not* an AxCrypt issue.

    Hello,

    From the screen shot I see that you are running version 2.1.1388. Version 2.1.1389 (or later) has some improvements in the error handling and reporting that might help here. I’m not positive, but as always you should always be using the most recent version ;-)

    Upgrade and try again, and we’ll see if there’s any difference in behavior.

    One possible reason is that the file is read-only, or that you do not have permissions to access it.

    Can you send a screen shot of the folder in questionin Windows Explorer as well?

    Also can you confirm that I have understood you correctly in that you *can* decrypt it, by right-clicking and selecting “AxCrypt | Decrypt” ? Can you also confirm that you *can* open it in a picture viewer after you have decrypted it?

    Hello!

    This is Svante from AxCrypt.

    I hear you… This makes sense, I think. I’ll discuss this with the business side of things.

    Thanks for your input. Anyone else reading this are welcome to cast their vote by posting here.

    Hello,

    This is Svante from AxCrypt.

    I’ll look into this as soon as possible, thank you for reporting this. There should be no size or time limit.

    Do you have disk space to store the result? (Still should not cause the error you’re seeing, but some error).

    Regards,

    Svante
