To Star Trek fans: Thank you very much for those downloads and for buy my application.
I’m still thinking in insert download pictures options, to increase even more the number of wallpapers available to the application, though I do need rent a server, what it’s not cheap and honestly the sales still doesn’t pay it, apart that I need to check for copyright infringement, if it’s ok or not. Because I don’t want have my application removed from the market. Soon will have one answer about that.

Icons:

icons

You have a locked pad lock, one open, other with two arrows making a circle and one with the open dor and the arrow point to it.

Locked pad lock: This button will let you encrypt the file, if it’s not encrypted already, using those from, to paths provided previously.

Unlocked pad lock: This button will let you decrypt the encrypted file, using as above the values into from, to text fields.

Two blue arrows circling: Will clean both text fields.

Open door with arrow pointing to it: Exit the application.

Three wrong tries and your password file will be wiped out from your mobile. If you remember the password, it’s just inserting again the same password, when starting the application. If you don’t remember but have received it via email, it’s just creating it once again.

Now, if you don’t remember it and don’t have set the application to send the password to the email. Then will not exist other way. What’s was encrypted will be lost. Doesn’t exist any sort of backdoors to re-acquire the password.
