In many GPG-related GUIs like GPA, Gpg4Usb, and Kleopatra, encrypting and decrypting files is a straightforward process: select a public key, choose a file, click encrypt—done.

However, in GpgFrontend, the File Panel can be confusing for users, especially those unfamiliar with its workflow. When opening the File Panel, users expect to see their files immediately, but instead, they are prompted to select a folder first. This leads to confusion, as many assume that files are missing or not being displayed.

Additionally, the encryption process itself is more complex than necessary. For example:

• Users must select a file rather than double-clicking it, which is not intuitive.

• The overall process requires extra steps that make it harder for new users to grasp.

To improve usability, please consider simplifying file encryption/decryption to be more in line with other GPG frontends—allowing users to quickly select a file and encrypt/decrypt it with minimal steps.

Thank you!
