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

-[8.50b7] Arc search

Asking for password all time during password protected archives search (F7)
Means whole disk search for file in archives. And for each password protected archive it asks for the password

It is not supported now.
I've asked to add an option to skip password-protected files.

Actually there are two cases:
1. When using internal unpackers, or plugins which use password callback -> You can now choose to cache the password until TC is closed or minimized.
2. Some plugins like 7z show their own password dialog. It's not possible in this case to tell the plugin to skip asking.

Is it hard to check archive header for bit/byte "is_filename(s)_crypted" during search? 7zip & RAR headers only

Unfortunately some plugins like 7z already ask for a password with their own dialog when TC just tries to check the file names in the archive (because the names are encrypted too). So currently there is no way to detect encrypted archives before getting a password dialog. :(
