📋 Feature: File names and tree structure about kryptor HOT 4 CLOSED

That's an interesting idea. I'll admit that it's problematic compared to how Cryptomator does things. I can certainly look into doing this for folder encryption in v3.

Thank you very much.

My current plan is to see what outputting the original and obfuscated file names to the console looks like. Then I can also look into storing all of the file paths in a file without an obfuscated name (e.g. directory structure.txt) that gets encrypted, but that's a lot easier said than done. I think it'll be a bit messy implementing that, and I'm trying to avoid messy/unnecessarily complex code when possible.

I'm afraid I won't be implementing a way of reading in a list of file paths from a file to decrypt. This would be problematic from the perspective of user input because it would require a new console option for example. It would be even more troublesome in the GUI version.

Kryptor v3 will provide noticeably faster folder encryption and an improved method of reading the stored file names, so that should help too. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

I'm closing this issue because Kryptor v3.0.0 Beta now writes the original file names in the console. I investigated your suggestion of storing all of the file names in an encrypted file and concluded that it would be a bit awkward to implement.
