Description Ariel 2006-04-01 01:41:04 UTC 
Please add support for Winzip 9 and 10 AES encrypted files.

The full Winzip AES encryption spec is published here:
http://www.winzip.com/aes_info.htm

The original zip format encryption support is totally unsecure; many people like
me are transitioning to Linux desktop and have a large number of zip files
encrypted with AES and don't want to downgrade them to the unsecure zip
encryption mode now supported by file-roller.

Thanks!
Ari

I'd also vote for this feature. A functional implementation of Winzip AES can be found in my SVN repository: http://taschenorakel.de/svn/repos/libzip/trunk/. Using it for some other commercial software.

FYI you can now do this natively in Linux using 7z command line utility (package p7zip-full in ubuntu)

It would be nice to have file-roller integration for this

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
