Yes this topic has been here before, see these post:
Hello
When the following version 1.28.2 of Engrampa will be in 24.04?
The current version in 24.04 still have the issue and it's very annoying.
opened 06:19AM - 01 Feb 24 UTC
closed 09:31AM - 13 Mar 24 UTC
#### Expected behaviour
In a 7z password compressed files when the option of … password protect file names was chosen for create the file, it is expected that when you open the file, Engrampa ask for the password, and if the password is fine, then listing the content (files) inside the compressed .7z files
#### Actual behaviour
In Debian Testing, with Engrampa 1.26.1-3, since moved from p7zip to 7zip, nothing is happening. Engrampa don't ask for the password and don't show the content.
#### Steps to reproduce the behaviour
(1) In Debian Testing, with Engrampa choose some documents or a folder to compress. Choose extension .7z
(2) Choose password protection and choose a password
(3) and -IMPORTANT- choose the option of password protect also the filenames too
Then try to open the file again with Engrampa and it didn't show any content and don't ask for password. But I still can work with the file from command line with command 7zip
#### MATE general version
Mate Desktop package in Debian Testing is 1.26.2-1 , today 1 February 2024
#### Package version
Engrampa package in Debian Testing is 1.26.1-3 , today 1 February 2024
#### Linux Distribution
Debian Testing
#### Link to bugreport of your Distribution (requirement)
Excuse my poor English. I think I detect this issue happening when in Debian Testing moved from p7zip to 7zip weeks ago, and the package Engrampa was 1.26.1-2.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1061510
Then somebody report this bug that was solved and theoretically fixed in Engrampa 1.26.1-3 , but this patch don't fix the issue I am describing, so I tried to report the bug, but Debian Bug Reporting System was a little bit tricky to me, and finally I wrote directly to the Engrama Debian package maintainers that I found in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/engrampa
They are very nice and soon answer me that they don't have a fix for this and I should report the problem to the Engrampa Maintainers/Upstream Developers here.
I use the password protection to protect many of my documents and keep my passwords on a USB drive that is also password protected. I find encryption in Linux a bit over my skills.
