Select archive type .zip. Do not specify a password. Click the "Create" button. 3) Open the newly created archive and delete the single file it contains. 4) Select Archive manager menu item Edit > Set Password... 5) Enter the desired password and click the "Save" button. At this point a dialog appears with the following error message: Could not create the archive Error when getting information for file '/home/John/Documents/Personal/.fr-Gr7BGf/junk.zip': No such file or directory The file '/home/John/Documents/Personal/junk.zip' does exist and is open. The "/.fr-Gr7BGf" part has been mistakenly put into the file path resulting in the error message. (The password did not contain "/.fr-Gr7BGf".) I realize it is not common to ask for a password protected archive with no contents. But to me this error indicates a string over running its intended memory which should probably be corrected.
