Please improve the handling and user feedback for password-protected compressed files (ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, etc.).
Current Behavior:
- When opening a password-protected archive (e.g.
Film.zip), there is no clear indication that the file is encrypted.
- If I navigate inside the archive and click a video file or other file (e.g.
Episode1/file.mp4 or other file.ektension), nothing happens — no response, no error, no password prompt.
- When trying to extract the archive, the error message is unclear. Users cannot easily tell whether the archive is password-protected, corrupted, or has another issue.
Expected Behavior:
-
When accessing files inside a password-protected archive
When the user clicks on any file inside an encrypted archive, show a clear prompt:
"Please enter the password"
-
When extracting a password-protected archive
Show a clear and specific message:
"Please enter the password for this archive"
-
Additional improvement
It would be very helpful to show a small lock icon or indicator on the archive file itself in the file list, so users immediately know it is password-protected.
Why This Matters:
Currently, users get confused when they try to open or extract files because there’s no obvious feedback that a password is required. This leads to poor user experience and makes it hard to distinguish between a locked archive and a corrupted one.
