Encrypted ZIPs not encrypted.

[MarkFilipak]

I made 4 encrypted ZIPs using each of the 4 encryption choices. All required me to enter passwords prior to creating the ZIPs, but none of them seemed to be encrypted. Does anyone have an idea why?

Thank You.

PS: Ver. 8.0 running in WinXP3.

There is an option in password verification dialog say "Remember (until program is closed or minimized)" if it is selected, TC will not ask for password until it is closed or minimized.

Thank you, ts4242, but it doesn't work.

I did not select [_] Remember... in the password confirmation dialog.

I upgraded to ver 8.51a since my first post. TC still does not ask for the password when I open the ZIP archive. I closed TC & reopened it. I even emailed the ZIP as an attachment to myself, deleted the original, fetched my mail, saved the attachment to disk, and opened it. TC did not ask for a password and the contents of the ZIP were accessible.

I'm using the internal ZIP packer:
Configuration > Zip packer > ZIP > [x] Use internal ZIP packer

Would someone kindly email me a test ZIP that's encrypted as a test.

Thank You.

I think you misunderstand the way it is encrypted.
The encryption does allow you to see a list of files inside the archive without the password. But you do need the password to extract the files from the archive.

File names doesn't encrypted inside ZIP, therefore you see them when navigate inside ZIP, but TC must ask for password if you try to unpack.

RAR has an option to encrypt file names too.
