Feature request: Encryption of filenames also for compression/encryption to individual zip files

[Engztrom]

As I understand you rely on an underlying PKWare feature to achive this, but that only works if all files are put into a single compressed/encrypted zip file, and this makes it practically useless if you are backing up to a very slow cloud service...

My suggestion is that you instead implement your own layer of code to encrypt each filename before calling the underlying PKWare compression/encryption tool when backing up, and in a similar manner decrypt each filename after the file content has been decrypted/decompressed when restoring.

The drawback is that it would give a small performance penalty since you would have to internally decrypt all scanned filenames during a target scanning, but IMO that would be an acceptable price to pay.

The encryption key for the filenames could (should) be generated from the same password that PKWare uses to generate the key to encrypt/decrypt the contents of the files.
A central database for filename mapping could also be used to speed up the target scanning (but only as a cache, it has to be rebuildable from the target).
