Hi Andre,
isn't gpgtar (which I assume is still used by Kleopatra on Windows to
encrypt folders) also "unstandardized" by OpenPGP? For all practical
purposes, compressed archive formats are well-established across all
platforms, so it's unclear to me what kind of problems you fear.
Thanks,
Marcus

Is your point that you would want to keep compression as a feature in those

Exactly. The User Experience of Kleopatra on Windows is that you right click
a
folder and encrypt that folder. You need compression there.
Currently it is standardized. You propose to remove the standard so it will
be
unstandartized and no longer interoperable.

Andre
