Thank you for nice application. Read password protect rar/zip Images?

Currently it does not correspond. Because the archives of images available on the Internet (mostly cbz) do not have passwords.

It seems easy to support it. In fact, adding a dialog prompting you to enter a password for one archive is not difficult. However, QuickViewer needs to prefetch. Also prefetch images and prefetch folders and archives.

It is not a good idea to ask the user for a password each time in a prefetched archive. However, if you forget the password and throw away the archive that failed to load, the user can not move to the archive with the "Next Volume" button. You see, it's getting harder and harder.

So it's easier to say that it does not correspond at the moment.

As I suggested before, to avoid that quickviewer requires the password for a file, it is saved by session (when you close it, the password is forgotten) or in another more complex way, put the file name together with the password in a file, and automatically enter it (as IDM does when downloading from servers that requires passwords)

I think it's a useful suggestion, but it's still not practical for QuickViewer. That's because QuickViewer opens archive files at unexpected times. Specifically, some of the other zip files that contain the zip file you tried to open are open at the same time.
