If I convert an encrypted zipx file to a 7zip file, it doesn’t encrypt the 7z file. Perhaps it would be too difficult to do, but it if wasn’t, it would be a nice touch.

I cant see how it’s too hard to do as PA technicaly exports to a temp location and then re-compresses the folder into the required format.

If it can encrypt a file or folder’s names from scratch surely it should a convertion?

it sounds like there is a bug within the convertion tool itself.

[Mili]

lets give it a check :)

[Mili]

it seems to remove encryption completely when converting encrypted files

[Socrates]

That’s why I found too. But perhaps there is no simple way to keep it.

But since you have to enter the encryption key to convert it . . . I thought it would be nice to use the same key for the new archive.

[Mili]

entered in the system, let’s see what’s up.
thanks guys! :)

Converter does not know if files are encrypted or not. It is not that simple. Plus it could never possibly know the password of the file, so it would require input on each file.

[Socrates]

I may well simply not understand.

However, PA has to know that it is encrypted since it asks me for the password before it can convert the file.

And, since it already “has” the password (I had to enter it) why couldn’t it use that password when creating the converted archive?

should be fixed in this version;

Earlier spywolf sent me an RC1 (5-6 days) ago. It was not fixed in that version.

Is this one different?

Is this available via patchbeam, or should I manually download it? Or is PB version close? (Manual install loses a number of settings.)

Or did you want me to check it for you before it goes to PB?

Thanks.

i have no idea what Mili is writing about, so best do nothing :-)

[Socrates]

thanks for the clarification.

[Mili]

last issue spoken about in this thread is the loss of encryption when converting an archive, so common sense should say that it is that issue which Mili is referring to.
Works fine for me with this .23
