This does sound like a problem. it would be good to know if this is an
issue with gpg archiving mechanism, or something to do with the gpg4win
graphical interface.
I don't have a windows machine handy, but I would like to try to
replicate the problem on a unix-like platform.
Can you give an example of filenames that get lost?
Also, have you tried using the command line tools to create the archive?
I don't know what the command is called in gpg4win, but on unix the
command would be:
gpg-zip --encrypt --output test.tar.gpg -r WHOEVER FILE1 FILE2
(replace WHOEVER with the name of the recipient, and replace FILE1 and
FILE2 with the filenames to be included in the archive)
hope this helps,
