put password on zip files

[lavinog]

ok I figured this out, and I will file the bug report.
When you use rightclick>compress>zip and enable encryption, after entering a password is the "encrypt file list too" checked? if so is it greyed out so you can't uncheck it? if so switch the file type to 7z, uncheck "encrypt file list too", then press cancel (for some reason the change doesn't take effect until you restart the app. Now try and compress with encryption as a zip...it should work now.
The problem is that zip cannot encrypt the file list, but file-roller (the gui compression program) remembers the last setting used for any file type.

Edit: another way to fix this is:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/file-roller/general/encrypt_header false
