Null File 1.1.0
What's new
- The Vault. A private folder in the sidebar, encrypted on this computer, that opens with a PIN (3 to 300 digits). Drag files in to encrypt them; names, folders and contents are all unreadable on disk. A 24-word recovery key resets a forgotten PIN. It locks after a few idle minutes (you choose how many), with Ctrl+Shift+L, and always when Null File closes.
- Automatic updates. Installing the .deb or .rpm adds the signed Null Grid package repository, so new versions arrive with your normal system updates (apt, dnf, zypper, KDE Discover, GNOME Software). The AppImage and the tar.gz update themselves after checking the download against SHA256SUMS. Flatpak, Snap and AUR users get a notice.
- Settings has new Vault and Updates sections.
Linux, for x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64). Pick your machine's architecture; any distro from 2022 on (glibc 2.35+):
- Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ / Mint / Null OS:
sudo apt install ./null-file_1.1.0_amd64.deb(ARM:_arm64.deb). Later versions then arrive with your normal system updates. - Fedora / openSUSE:
sudo dnf install ./null-file-1.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm(openSUSE:sudo zypper install ./…rpm; ARM:.aarch64.rpm). Updates come through dnf/zypper too. - Arch: the AUR package
null-file-bin(itsPKGBUILDis attached here too) - Any distro, no install: the
.AppImage.chmod +xit and run it; it updates itself. - Flatpak (also the way for RHEL, Rocky and Alma):
flatpak install ./null-file-1.1.0-x86_64.flatpak(needs the Flathub remote) - Snap:
sudo snap install --dangerous ./null-file_1.1.0_amd64.snap(home folder and USB drives only) - Anything else: the
.tar.gz. Unpack it and run./null-file, or./install.shto add it to your app menu; it updates itself.
Make it the file manager that opens folders: null-file --set-default, or Settings → Default file manager.
Check a download: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing
For Flathub, dev.nullgrid.file.yml and cargo-sources.json are the submission files.
