    v1 v2  
    351351Encrypt or decrypts selected files. Encryption is performed using an algorithm based on ARC4 (the same algorithm as used by tinycrypt). Recursion into directories is possible, if the corresponding option is selected.

    353 The files may optionally be compressed too, as part of the encryption process (compression of a small file might make it a bit larger). For compression, the plugin uses external libraries - first it tries to find an LZO library (which has less compression but is fastest) or if that's not available, then it tries to find and use zlib, and lastly, it will try for bzip2 (most compression, but slowest). When decryptiong, decompression will be performed automatically, provided the corresponding compression library is still available.

    355355The conversion process requires that the file being processed fits entirely into available memory, and [de]compression roughly doubles that memory-space requirement. So this plugin is not suitable for large files.
