TC opens RAR files with password like they are empty

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

When you open RAR file with password then it looks like there is nothing inside. Either TC should demand the password or inform that it can't open the file.

Sorry, Total Commander does not support RAR files where the file names are encrypted, because of the Swiss crypto export regulations.

You can still unpack such an archive as a whole via Files - Unpack (with external winrar or rar).

I thougt it. But that's why I suggested that there should be a message, that the file is encrypted. An average user will be puzzled by this empty content.

There is a fhrar.wcx plugin available which supports encrypted filenames.
