PortableApps.com Platform and Suite 1.6 have been released.

failed to encrypt error

Submitted by casaschi on July 14, 2009 - 12:42pm

I'm very new to Toucan, but when I try to encrypt a file (open toucan, go to the secure tab, add a file, check encrypt and click OK) I always get an error message: "failed to encrypt ...name of the file..."
The file is not changed at all by toucan.

The file is available for me to read/modify/save if I open it with notepad for example.
No other program is using the file when toucan tries to access it.

I'm on WinXP SP2 (user with admin rights).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Well

it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong to me. I am not sure why this would be, is there anything unusual about the file?

I cant think of anything

I cant think of anything unusual about the file.
I tried for instance with a text file I created, typing some rubbish with notepad and then saving/closing the file. First with the file on a document folder on the USB key itself, then on the windows the desktop.
Is there any logfile / debug mode option to shed some light?

I

have added some more debug info to the next pre-release version of Toucan, I will try and get it uploaded in the next day or so.

Far

later than expected, as usual, I have uploaded a 2.1.3 Pre-Pre-Release here. It should print an error code next to any errors.
