Bug ID: 388572
Summary: Actions menu: Add "Encrypt with Ark"
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Use case: "Ad-hoc file encryption: Password-protect one or more files"
CURRENT SITUATION:
1) (if KGpg is installed)
- Right-click on the files to be encrypted
- Choose Actions > "Encrypt File"
- Select (or create) a key for asymmetric encryption
- Too complicated for ad-hoc
2) (if Kleopatra is installed)
- Right-click on the files to be encrypted
- Choose Actions > "Encrypt File" (with another icon)
- A dialog appears where one can choose asymmetric encryption, possible signing
or symmetric encryption
- Looks a bit complicated
3) (with Ark)
- Right-click on the files to be encrypted
- Choose Compress > "Compress to..."
- Select Type "7zip" (if also filenames should be encrypted)
- Click Password Protection
- Enter password, OK
WISH:
It would be nice to have easier access to simple symmetric encryption with a
simple GUI.
SUGGESTION:
- Add a new item "Encrypt with Ark" to the Actions menu.
- This would call Ark with all relevant options for encryption preselected, see
3).
- Maybe Ark could be extended to have a really simple GUI dialog only for
password-protect some files.
