Running OS X 10.10, while trying to encrypt a 14gig zip file the os crashes. It flickers a few times, then a black box with text stating the system has shut down unexpectedly has happened.

   I have the same problem whilst trying to encrypt 65mb at data (a folder containing files). I get the attached error

   Anything can happen while working with files that size. Try zipping it and let me know how it goes (or if even finishes zipping). You are better off creating an encrypted DMG and using it to store files that big.

   Hi,

   hmm... it shouldn't simply crash of course, but at least fail more gracefully.
   Could you please check Console.app for any message or crash logs which might be related?

   Thanks!

   nothing on the console.app for my issue . I was not able to encrypt the files due to an issue with extra configuration (I had "hidden-encrypt-to" option set with wrong key)

   Hi all,

   I tried this out and just successfully encrypted a 700MB file. General encryption of big files is not broken. But 14GB are indeed probably not a good use case for GPGServices.

   You might want to use the old 7.1 truecrypt for such large files.

   And if you retry such a super large file, could you please check console.app if it spits any errors.

   All the best,
   steve

   Hi Steve

   I am using beta 2 with 10.10.1 and i was able to encrypt a 4.14 G file (iso format) but then decryption failed and I got the following messages via the console.app

   20/11/2014 09:40:35.971 GPGServices[5260]: Failed to connect (progressIndicator) outlet from (WorkerProgressViewItem) to (NSProgressIndicator): missing setter or instance variable

   also forgot to mention that I had to enter the passphrase as least 3 times to the file to be decrypted

   (I am using an insecure passphrase)

   Wingman, can you please create a new discussion regarding your decryption issue. The initial problem from Tony is about encryption and is something else. Please include the console log you posted here.

   Tony: is your problem persisting when you use GPG Suite beta 3 from here https://gpgtools.org/

   All the best,
   steve
