Encrypted zip files handling

Post by sasha » Mon Feb 29, 2016 10:27 pm

Hi,

in build 1491, the encrypted zip file handling could be improved. Currently, opening an encrypted zip file (created using "zip -e ...") calls the "Password Needed" dialog. Then, entering an incorrect password doesn't throw a warning or error message. Instead, the filenames inside the zip archive are displayed (which is OK as they aren't encrypted in simple zip). Only when you attempt to copy or view a compressed file, the error message "Error: Unknown or unclassified archive error" is shown. In this case, please throw a meaningful error message after the incorrect password input. Thanks!

Hi sasha,

Yep, current support for encrypted archives is quite rudimental, I'll work on this issue in next releases.
