Update to CryptoZ v2.2.0
πŸ“¦ CryptoZ v2.2.0 β€” "Secure Folder & Live Encryption"
I'm excited to announce the biggest update yet β€” CryptoZ is no longer just a file encryption tool. It’s now a proactive security system with real-time protection, intelligent automation, and a seamless user experience.
πŸš€ What’s New?
πŸ” Secure Folder β€” Protected Folder with Live Access
Select any folder β€” and it becomes automatically encrypted
All new files are instantly encrypted with .encrypted extension
Files are decrypted into a secure temp folder when opened
Edit, save β€” and they’re automatically re-encrypted
βœ… Like VeraCrypt, but simpler, smarter, and built-in.

πŸ”„ Edit & Save Back
Open a file β†’ decrypted to .temp_decrypted
Edit in any app (Word, Notepad, etc.) β†’ save
CryptoZ detects changes β†’ re-encrypts the file
Supports: .txt, .docx, .pdf, .xlsx, and more

🧹 Auto-Clean & Auto-Lock
πŸ”’ Auto-Lock on Exit: stops monitoring & cleans temp files on app close
🧽 Auto-Cleanup: removes .temp_decrypted, .enc.tmp, .tmp, *~ on startup/shutdown
πŸ›‘οΈ No traces left behind β€” perfect for shared or public computers

πŸ“Š Usage Statistics
Real-time counters:
πŸ”’ Files encrypted
πŸ“€ Files decrypted
πŸ• Active sessions
⏳ Last session timestamp
Displayed in About β†’ πŸ“Š Stats β€” updates live
Data stored in cryptoz_config.json β€” persistent & safe

🧩 Improvements & Fixes
βœ… Dynamic config recovery: restores defaults if config is corrupted
βœ… Unified .encrypted extension β€” now consistent across all modules
βœ… Fixed issues with DEFAULT_SETTINGS, backup_config
βœ… Real-time UI updates via callback system
βœ… Enhanced About tab with organized sub-tabs

πŸ’‘ Why It Matters?
🏒 For Business: secure shared folders, protect confidential documents
πŸ›‘οΈ For Privacy: zero exposure of decrypted files
πŸš€ For Simplicity: encryption works silently β€” you focus on work

πŸ™Œ Thank You!
