[Software] Compress Other options missing

#1 Post by remus »

Greetings all,

Using Debian 11 fully updated as of today.

OS Type 64-bit
GNOME Version 3.38.5
Windowing System Wayland

When I right click on a file or folder, and select the Compress option, I do not see the "Other" option that would allow me to compress with a password.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Thank you for your input.

Doesn't seem to be an option (anymore?). Gnome is fond of removing useful features, and the file manager has changed a lot recently.

This works:
After compressing the files into a zip format.

Open it and click on the three stacks on the right.

Tap on password and you can set any password for the zip file.

JOB DONE

This "Gnome is fond of removing useful features"

Your method works great.

Thanks for the input :)
