Enable: Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Navigation -> Open archives as folder Then open an password protected archive and Dolphin won't ask you for a password when clicking on a file inside the archive. Example: echo hello > hello.txt zip -e test.zip hello.txt # password: pw Then open the archive in Dolphin and open hello.txt. hello.txt will show up in Kate (or another editor), but it's content will be encrypted. (you'll see some gibberish) Possible solutions: - let Dolphin ask for the password - open the default ZIP program (e.g. Ark) if it's too difficult to handle this in dolphin Maybe this is more a KIO bug than Dolphin. But I don't know. Maybe related: bug 101830 - password not asked for when opening an encrypted zip file Tested with: - openSUSE Tumbleweed 2018-02-27 KDE x86_64 LiveCD (Dolphin 17.12.2, KDE 5.12.1) - openSUSE 42.3 x86_64 (Dolphin 17.04.2, KDE 5.8.7)
Re-assigning to kio-extras where the archive KIO (zip:/ URLs) lives
Just checked the archive KIO, it seems KArchive does not support encrypted/password-protected archives at all. Re-assigning there.
