Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

The command "Make archive" does not ask whether I desire to encrypt the archive. I understand that the archive cannot be encrypted once it is created.
Note that there is no way to start File Roller from the GNOME GUI; it is not listed under Accessories menu probably because it is meant to be integrated with Nautilus.
This integration, however, is not full, and this obstacle is really blocking.
I mean, you can of course Alt+F2 file-roller, but most people are not aware of Alt+F2, and it is not even listed there so you still have to type.

To be precise: there is a way to start File Roller from the GUI because it is an invisible accessory and you can show it using the main menu setup applet;
it is called "Archive Manager" there.
This is, however, rather hard to find.
