As GpgEX only queries a UI Server (GPA or Kleopatra) this is a Kleopatra or GPA problem.
With Gpg4win-3.0 Kleopatra got the option "Encrypt with password" in the file encryption dialog, which does symmetric encryption. GPA does not offer this but as Kleopatra is our main UI for GpgEX I think this feature request is done.
