Importing text
« on: September 06, 2006, 08:32 AM »
If you want to import existing text into fSekrit, you have to do it via the clipboard.  If you're running a clipboard enhancer, you have another security-vulnerable area.  Are there plans for a file browser to import text into fSekrit to avoid that?

Of course, if you have text on disk, I suppose that's vulnerable anyway, unless you use a secure deleter afterwards...

I'm planning on adding file->import and file->export or similar for v1.2, actually. Partly because it's useful, partly because the win98 clipboard seems limited in how much text it can handle.

I hope to have v1.2 (or a beta) ready by the 15th.

Just spotted your separate 1.2 announcement, thanks.

I think the Win98 clipboard is limited to 32K rather than 12, but I'm not sure.  I do know I couldn't get it to paste about 48K.
