Instructions

The application consists in a simple GUI with two text areas, one for the plain text and the other for the base64 text; typing something in an area cause the translation in the other. Moreover there are two buttons:

  • Encode File for encoding a file in base64. Pressing this button will show an interface with a text area and two buttons:
    • a Open button for choosing the file to encode; the result of the encoding will be shown in the text area.
    • a Save button for saving the content of the text area in a file.
  • Decode File for decoding a file in base64. Two dialogs will be shown one by one:
    • the first for choosing the file to decode.
