Description Gregor Mi 2018-01-05 14:46:19 UTC
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.
