[solved] Encrypted checkbox among file attributes

I'd like to see an "Encrypt contents" checkbox when viewing a file's attributes (Files > Change attributes dialog), which would behave like the Archive one.

This would work only on NTFS volumes, of course.

You may use plugins window at the bottom: 'more attributes' -> tc -> compressed -> Yes/No.

'more attributes' -> tc -> compressed -> Yes/No.

Should be: 'more attributes' -> tc -> encrypted -> Yes/No.

This would work only on NTFS volumes, of course

And, only under the more sophisticated versions of Windows e.g. NOT under Windows XP Home, or Windows 7 Home Premium.

You're right, it was a misprint. BTW, both attributes are in same place so it helped.

Oo didn't know that W7HP doesn't allow encryption...
