The extra icons are consuming too much space and objects and need to be removed.

You may use this to test functions

Possible feature: When a file is encrypted using out program it is given a unique file extension. When the user tries to open this file it launches our program and displays the decryption dialogue. The user can then decrypt the file.

Advantages:
Faster to decrypt files.

Disadvantages:
This immediately lets anyone know the file is encrypted and may contain sensitive information. If the user used a weak password it can easily be decrypted by an attacker.

Possible solution:
Add the feature to the options and warn the user about the disadvantages when they enable it.

Should we include this feature?

Shortcut keys will make the program easier and faster to use.

Examples:
A - Add file
E - Encrypt selected file
D - Decrypt selected file
DEL - Remove the file from the list

Functions are required to save the list of CryptyFiles to disk.
This file should be encrypted for security.

Requirements:

• Save list
• Load list
• Encrypt List
• Decrypt List

Because this program deals with security, the need for the latest updates is almost a necessary feature.

Features:

• Check for updates
• Download and apply update
• Get change log
• Version information

Icons need to be added to the buttons as specified in the documentation.

Required features:

• Password for loading and saving the file list
• Check for updates option
• Toggle change log detail level
• Default encryption options?

I did not even know there was a GD docs folder! Consolidate the information.

Show the detail of the program's interface. Includes as much detail as 
required to demonstrate what the interface will look like and how it will function.

Features:

• Ability to use a file as the key

Algorithms:

• Crypty-Encrypt (Our own algorithm)
• Reverse bytes
• No password
• AES

See #25 Prototype: Encryption_1

Encrypting large files can take a fair amount of time. During this time we want to show the user the progress. Otherwise they may think the program is not functioning properly and this can lead to frustration.

• Progress bar
• Label to show current action

We require a class for compression and extraction of files. using the 7zip console version would be the easiest.

Functions:

• Compress
• Extract

Features:

• Split by size
• Split into x amount of files
• Join files

The user needs to be able to select multiple files and encrypt them using the same key. The output can be a single file, or it can be split by size.

• Encrypt multiple files at a time.

It would be helpful to the user if a tool tip is displayed when they hover the cursor over buttons and text boxes. This will make the application much more user friendly as functions are explained to the user as they encounter them.

• Tool tip to explain functions

Design specifications are created to outline the requirements of your full product (the solution). 
While there is no set format it should include information about set user requirements, 
software and hardware requirements and the system breakdown. 

The following needs to be completed for the design specifications.

User Considerations

• Interface Design Considerations
• Social and Ethical Considerations
• Environmental Considerations

Developer Considerations

• Modules
• Data Structures
• List of Algorithms

I would appreciate it if you could give me feedback on my teamwork skills such as communication, organisation, ability to delegate, effort etc.

Feature to close the program to the system tray.

See issue #31 - System Tray Icon

Ability to drag files from the desktop onto Crypty Chops to add it to the file list would make the process easier and faster. No need to use the file browser dialogue to find the file when you can just drag and drop.

• Drag and drop file to add it to the list

Interface Features:

• Menu strip entry "Updates"
  • Check for updates
  • Changelog
  • Options
    • Toggle auto update
    • More detailed changelog (Developer)

Similar to what's used in the movies, shows very little detail of the 
program's interface but it shows how each of the screens are 
joined and how the user will access each one.
