How can one imagine to do something that strange - display password in open text?

If I need to open image in presence of friend or client, what I am supposed to do according to developer's strange logic?

Also, even Virtual Drive seems nice, some basic shell integration would be welcome - like, right click on image => mount (nothing more, just that, I really do not want any loader services like SoftDisc running).

Thanks.

There is something else.
Probably, saving the password is not such a good idea.
I might be wrong, but it seems that saved password could be a 'weak' place security wise, isn't it easier to decrypt saved password than encrypted file? After all, UltraISO programmers are probably not the real security experts, so why take unnecessary risks? It is not so difficult or useless to input password every time you create .isz; you will need to input it every time you access file anyway.

Imagine that somebody got access to your PC and just for fun changed isz password(you don't even need to input the old one to do so). Then you created your .isz and deleted source.

To be clear, to use 256 bit encryption, everything must be secure, not only the encryption algorithm itself, so better make it simple.

Thanks.

Thanks irso for your suggestions. An option will be added at next release of UltraISO to force 'Setting password when saving ISZ images' if 'Encryption' is checked.

PS: The 'Open Text' problem has been fixed now at http://www.ezbsystems.com/dl.php?file=uiso8_pe.exe .

Thanks,
Xoben

Thanks, this was incredibly fast!

Almost everything sorted, just one minor suggestion.
It would be nice if before saving .isz, together with password prompt, it would be also possible to change compression (without changing default compression setting), like it is in WinRar and WinZip.

When you are saving compressed audio, or images, or are just in hurry, you may want to change compression setting, but do not want to change defaults.
