Feature Guide

yoCrypt-Editor focuses on a seamless encryption experience. Below are the detailed operations available under the File menu:

The editor manages both plain text and encrypted files based on your security needs.

Open (Ctrl+O): Open standard unencrypted text files.
Open Crypted (Ctrl+Shift+O): Open AES-256 protected files. A password prompt will appear for verification.
Save / Save As: Save or export content as plain text.
Save Crypted / Save Crypted As: Encrypt and save current content. You will be prompted for a password if not already verified.
Auto-Save (Ctrl+S): Behavior based on initial file state. The system automatically determines the saving method based on the state of the file when it was first opened:
- Encrypted Files: If the file was encrypted upon opening, it will be automatically re-encrypted using the Master Password when saved.
- Plaintext Files: If the file was a standard document upon opening, it will be saved as plaintext (unencrypted).
- New Files: Newly created files will also be saved as plaintext by default.

Change Master Password: A core maintenance tool that updates your security credentials. Upon execution, the system prompts for a new password and automatically re-encrypts all files within the “Project/Files” directory using the new key.
