Arguably I should have removed them before releasing, but I kept them there as a reminder for me, like I could ever forget to implement them. ;-) On a side note, I forgot to mention two strong points for the application in the announcement e-mail: 1. If it's not obvious already, the application has a nice Setup Wizard to help one get started really quickly on a fresh system/desktop/account. It helps with finding the tarsnap CLI, generate new or use existing keys, create a new tarsnap-cache, etc. 2. Backup create and delete operations are queued. So one can simply do a batch of actions in a single go and let the application handle them on a first-in first-out fashion unattended. These two are important in my opinion, since they add extra reasons for the utility of the application on the desktop. Regards, Shinnok
