Virtual File System

Hi all,

In this thread I promised to upload the gui if I ever made it. Here it is.

This is basically a program for managing a virtual file system. (It's basically a big file that has a filestructure within that you can add folders and files too)

A few notes on the program.

• It keeps the entire file system in your ram, so big files are out of the question
• It doesn't check for unique file names yet. I'm not sure what the implications of this is yet
• It doesn't display icons, and I don't think I'll ever add that feature
• It has a back and forward button, and it displays the current folder in a label
• You can add and delete files and folders by using the context menu
• If you double click on a file It will show a dialogue for extraction
• if you double click a folder it opens the folder
• It uses binary serialization to convert the datastructures into a binary file

ThomasJohnsen wrote the serialization parts, but since we share a first name I will steal a bit of credit and claim the gui for myself.

UPDATE

• Added 2 icons. (I do not own them I found them on google images)
• Added a dialog so that you can choose the root folder name
• Added a feature that if you doubleclick on a file it writes it to a file and starts it. It then waits for the process to exit and deletes the file.(This doesn't work with processes that have already started, causes delete to fail)
• You can now extract files via the context menu

Thanks for shareing it looks cool.

UPDATE:
Added AES encryption.
I will keep the projects seperate since not everyone wants encryption.
So this posts project is the one with encryption.
First post is without encryption
