Reported: files corrupt, compress does nothing on hybrid, app closes on full-PQ compress. Root cause: run_async connected plain Python CLOSURES (finish / on_pct / release) to signals emitted from the worker QThread. PySide6 runs a plain-closure slot in the EMITTING thread regardless of the requested connection type — even an explicit Qt.QueuedConnection — because a bare functor has no receiver QObject to give it GUI-thread affinity (verified: such a slot ran on the worker thread; a bound method of a main-thread QObject ran on MAIN). Those closures then called QProgressBar.setValue/setRange/hide, QPushButton.setEnabled and QTextEdit.append from the worker thread: cross-thread QWidget access is undefined behaviour and crashed the app under real X11/Wayland rendering. It only survived offscreen tests (which tolerate the race), which is why prior driver runs passed. The progress-bar work added in 5.1.0 multiplied the cross-thread calls and made the crash reliable; a crash mid-compress also left truncated/corrupt archives. Fix: a _Job(QObject) controller parented to a GUI-thread widget, so it lives in the GUI thread and every slot (on_log/on_pct/on_done/on_finished) is a bound method that Qt auto-marshals to the GUI thread. closeEvent updated to the new _jobs (list of _Job) shape. Verified on real X (window shown, progress bar rendering) with a QProgressBar/ QPushButton instrumentation that flags ANY worker-thread call: BEFORE = setRange/ setValue/hide flagged on the worker thread; AFTER = zero cross-thread calls, and hybrid + full-PQ + password compress/extract all byte-exact round-trip; Verify/ Info/Disk backup+restore/two-concurrent-jobs/close-mid-job all pass. |

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 |

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
