The Encryption Wizard interface has 3 main components:
Most Encryption Wizard actions can be completed using hotkeys. Check here for a full listing of the available hotkeys.
The menubar follows common application menu conventions.
The File menu has commands for adding and removing files from Encryption Wizard's file listing.
The Options menu contains general interface options, such as the Show Name Only option, which displays or hides relative file paths in the file listing.
The Tools menu provides desktop-related functions. The Install option will associate Encryption Wizard with the .wzd and .wza extensions and store a copy of Encryption Wizard on a user's system, while the Uninstall option will remove the files and associations. The Export CAC menu item allows the user to export public certificates from a CAC card to the filesystem.
The file list is the most prominent feature of Encryption Wizard. This component displays a list of the files that Encryption Wizard is currently operating on. The easiest way to add files to the list is to simply drag them into the Wizard window. Files may also be added using the File menu or the "a" hotkey.
Files may be removed from the file listing by selecting them, singly or in groups, and pressing Delete key. Removing a file from the file listing has no effect on the file itself.
Files in the file listing are normally displayed as relative paths
(relative to each other). For example, if two files are in the list,
C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
and
C:\WINDOWS\System32\driver.sys
, the file listing would display
them as notepad.exe
and System32\driver.sys
since
they share the C:\WINDOWS
prefix.
The file listing uses common keybindings for hotkeys. Holding SHIFT while clicking will allow continuous blocks of files to be selected. Holding CTRL while clicking will allow non-contiguous sets of files to be selected. Pressing CTRL-A will select all the files in the listing, and pressing ESCAPE will deselect all files.
The control area contains buttons for performing the basic functions of Encryption Wizard. Buttons are enabled and disabled dynamically based on the contents of the file listing, so that buttons are only enabled when they can perform a meaningful function.
