Thank you for your very thorough answer! I am a windows user and do a lot
of backups etc with gnupg. I have so far only managed to make some batch
files that simplify my daily work - scripting has been unsuccessful.
I have interpreted Werners answer this way:
1) Use an archiver as a temporary solution. (I can always store the
encrypted file, that is without compression, and add the date and time to
the output file.)
2) This important feature is not for GnuPG, but it can be implemented in
frontends for Windows. I have so far suggested it to GPGee (the Explorer
extensions). It could just as well be implemented in other frontends, like
WinPT.
My recent hope is that the very nice GPGee will make some of my batch files
unnecessary.
