I really don't know where this will end. I will probably have to remove support for header-encrypted archives altogether. :(

I think, from this topic it's quite clear that a significant amount of people consider this direction completely ridiculous. TC has never been targeting unqualified home users.
I couldnt fucking agree more! I have always said TC doesnt belong in the hand of dummies, for them there is the Explorer :lol:

When a user turns some settings on (or let somebody else do it), he/she accepts full responsibility. That's it, simple as that.

Sorry but thats toooo many IFs! The fact is if a bad actor can modify your TC.ini you have way worse problems to worry about!
