I’ve installed Beezer from the HaikuDepot and am trying to see whether it’ll let me password protect files in my documents folder. Ideally, I’d like to have say a 7zip archive or archives in my documents folder where I can store my more sensitive files and ideally preview and work with specific files and add new files without expanding the whole thing each time.
I am not sure whether I’m doing something wrong, but (i) I can’t seem to password protect a test 7zip archive that I make with Beezer. The add files to archive dialogue does have a window to set a password for the archive and seems to make a 7zip archive accordingly. However, I am not asked to enter the password when I try to expand that archive, and Beezer seems quite happy to expand the whole thing without such password. Is this how it’s supposed to work?
Also, when I make a zip archive with Beezer and use Beezer to open that archive, I do get a nice tree-like directory listing for the files contained in that archive, and I’m able to preview and open individual files from that tree. However, when I make a password protected 7zip archive with Beezer, that tree-like directory listing does not come up. Only a very limited and uninformative line or two showing files of 0kb in size so no way to preview or open individual files from the 7zip. I suppose this is to be expected since the archive is password protected, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to enter the password in order to get the file listing to come up. And as I mentioned above, when I click on the Expand button, Beezer seems to be happy to expand the entire 7zip archive without asking for the password.
I’m puzzled. Could someone who is familiar with using Beezer tell me what I need to be doing here? Thanks.
