Reported: verification errors in the GUI. The Verify tab made the user pick a
PQ mode from a dropdown and remember the private key; a wrong pick or a missing
credential produced a raw CLI decrypt-error dump ("Error: Archive uses
post-quantum encryption. Use --pq" / "Authentication failed"), and it ran the
verify SYNCHRONOUSLY on the GUI thread (freezing the window on a large archive).
- New _detect_archive_enc(): reads the archive header via `info` (no credential)
and returns none/password/pq/pqonly/sdk + a human label.
- Verify now auto-detects the encryption, uses the MATCHING decrypt flag (a
wrong-mode mismatch is impossible), and if the needed credential is missing
shows a clear message ("This archive is password-encrypted. Enter the password
above, then click Verify again." / "...select the matching private key...")
instead of a raw error. Removed the now-redundant Verify PQ-mode dropdown.
- Verify runs through the async _Job (own progress bar) so it never freezes;
run_async gained ok_msg/fail_msg so it prints "All checksums passed." /
"Verification failed.".
- Same auto-detect + missing-credential guidance applied to Extract (it had the
same footgun); its message on wrong creds is now "Extraction failed.".
Verified on real X (thread-safe instrumentation, no cross-thread access): plain/
password/hybrid/pq-only verify pass; missing password and missing PQ key each
give guidance; wrong password/key and a non-archive fail cleanly; extract flows
byte-exact.

VaptVupt GUI
Desktop application for vaptvupt backup compression with ML-KEM-768 + X25519 post-quantum hybrid encryption.
Works on GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
Install
Linux (recommended)
tar xzf vaptvupt-gui.tar.gz && cd vaptvupt-gui
./vaptvupt-gui # auto-creates venv, installs PySide6
./install.sh --user # adds right-click menu integration
Windows
Option A — Installer (recommended):
Download VaptVuptGUI-1.3.0-Setup.exe and run it. Installs to Program Files, adds Start Menu shortcut, desktop shortcut, right-click context menus, and .zupt file association. Includes uninstaller.
Option B — Build from source:
cd packaging\windows
build-windows.bat
Requires Python 3.9+, NSIS 3.x, and a compiled vaptvupt.exe.
Option C — Run directly:
pip install PySide6
python src\zupt_gui.py
macOS / BSD
pip3 install PySide6
python3 src/zupt_gui.py
AppImage (universal Linux)
chmod +x VaptVupt-GUI-1.3.0-x86_64.AppImage
./VaptVupt-GUI-1.3.0-x86_64.AppImage
Flatpak
flatpak-builder --install build packaging/flatpak/dev.zupt.gui.yml
flatpak run dev.zupt.gui
Features
| Tab | Function |
|---|---|
| Keys | Generate ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid keypairs |
| Compress | All codecs, levels 1-9, dedup, solid, password, PQ keys |
| Extract | Decrypt and extract .zupt archives |
| Verify | Check block checksums, view archive metadata |
| Disk | Full-disk backup and restore |
| About | Version, cryptographic stack, credits |
All tabs support drag-and-drop. Drop a .zupt file anywhere on the window to extract it. Drop any other file to compress it.
System Integration
Linux (Nemo / Cinnamon)
After ./install.sh --user:
- Right-click any file: Compress with VaptVupt
- Right-click .zupt file: Extract with VaptVupt
- Double-click .zupt: opens in VaptVupt GUI
Windows (after installer)
- Right-click any file: Compress with VaptVupt
- Right-click any folder: Compress with VaptVupt
- Double-click .zupt: opens in VaptVupt GUI
- Right-click .zupt: Verify Integrity
