Title:
  file-roller password-protecting UI confusing

Status in File Roller:
  Invalid
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  When you create a password-protected archive in file-roller, only
  those files that were added AFTER entering the password will actually
  be encrypted. If you add all the files first, then enter the password,
  nothing at all will be encrypted.

  I can see why it would be like that from a programming POV, but from
  the user POV that behavior is unexpected and likely to cause
  confusion.

  When setting a password, by default all files added to the archive up
  to that point should be encrypted using that password.
