Vault in Vault 0.9.0

What's new

• Decrypt every matching encrypted file in a folder and its subfolders from the file explorer context menu.
• Preview files that will be decrypted and files skipped by the current protection policy.
• Reuse one cached password or enter it once for the whole folder operation.
• Keep encrypted sources for failed files and never overwrite conflicting plaintext files.
• Optionally open encrypted files immediately when the Vault password is already cached.
• Reworked all supported READMEs to use clearer “encrypted file” language and explain the age format in one technical section.

See the changelog for details.

Important security notes
