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.
You talk about encrypting a folder. So I assume you mean multiple
files. As far as I know, 4880 doesn't support this out of the box.
For instance, an OpenPGP message can only have one literal data
packet:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-11.3
Are you using some container format? PGP/Mime with multiple
attachments? Something else?
Thanks,
Neal
