Hello Dev.

MComix can read files with password, unfortunately user has to type the password again and again every time the file is accessed, or scanned by the library. It would be great if MComix can remember the password and store it if necesary in a safety file configuration.

    Thank you very much for your request.

    Storing the passwords on a storage device as plaintext defeats the purpose of using a password in the first place. This means that it would only make sense when encrypting the password before writing it to the storage device. However, this would essentially turn MComix into a password manager, which is not the purpose of this application.
    Therefore, please consider using encryption containers (so you can store unencrypted archives within them), or fully-fledged password managers you trust.

    The middle way might be storing the passwords in volatile RAM only. Unfortunately, I currently do not have time to implement such a solution, if this is feasable at all.

    I agree with volatile RAM solution. At least user only need to type password once.
