Bug Description
Binary package hint: file-roller
When you create a password-protected archive in file-roller, only those files that were added AFTER entering the password will actually be encrypted. If you add all the files first, then enter the password, nothing at all will be encrypted.
I can see why it would be like that from a programming POV, but from the user POV that behavior is unexpected and likely to cause confusion.
When setting a password, by default all files added to the archive up to that point should be encrypted using that password.
