OK, for the record, I think that I've found the solution. I looked in Kleopatra Settings and found nothing.
Then, I imported a proper key and began signing and encrypting a file: Archive.zip In Kleopatra's Sign/Encrypt Files dialog, there is a checkbox: Archive files with: TAR (PGP-compatible), which is checked by default. Unchecking that box and encrypting, this file decrypted and unzipped without incident: Archive.zip.gpg I'm waiting for our client to upload a file encrypted this way. HOWEVER, they right click the ZIP file and select "sign and encrypt" to process files. Will the UNchecked checkbox for "Archive files with: TAR (PGP-compatible)" be default now? ~ Mike On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 8:17 AM, helices <g...@mdsresource.net> wrote: > How to NOT gnutar files during encryption? > > > Thank you for your responses; but, you are all missing my point - and not > answering my question. > > First, before encryption by Kleopatra, the file IS one (1) real ZIP file > (e.g., filename.zip) > > After encryption and upload to us, the file is now an encrypted TAR file, > with the ZIP file inside (e.g., filename.zip.gpg) > > Notice that there is NO indication of TAR anywhere in the filename. > > Yes, I can rewrite our production processes to look for files of type TAR, > and automate that.
