PteroSplit User guide

PteroSplit application has two tabs as shown in below images (does they look ugly, isn't it? on Mac are much fancier :-)!).
To split a file simply select it in the split pane, select a chunk size and press hit. An additional file with extension psr will be created and this will instruct PteroSplit on how to recover the original file from the chunks.
To recover a file from PteroSplit chunks open the psr file in the recover tab and then hit "recover". Check the "Remove chunks" checkbox if you want that psr file along with the chunks will be deleted if the recover process has been successful.

Technobabbles and acknowledgments

Once I got a working application packaged as a jar bundle, I follow the really useful information that I found inĀ these articles to have a good application look and feel. To be honest, this has been achieved mostly for Mac, and this because creating a native look and feel java application on Apple platform is really easy: as soon as you create the application bundle, you get automagically file association, about box, version, icon and everything else. To create a native-looking application on Windows platform I usedĀ JSmooth which is a very good GPL licensed program. Unfortunately, I found no way of having file association and some other nice effects (e.g. the right icon on the taskbar) without writing native code but this wasn't my goal. Any suggestion, report of bugs or even source code patches will be appreciated.
