Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

For performance reasons it can be useful to avoid transfer of the temporary encrypted file to the users tmp dir and instead use the same directory. We have that option for decryption but not for encryption.

This task is obsolete as we do no longer use the Temp directory for encryption (I believe since vsd3.3.0/gpg4win 4.4.0). Instead the file is written directly to the target location with the ending ".part". It is renamed there after the encryption is completed.
