rar header encryption

Hey there,
the only feature I miss is the header encryption for the creation of encrypted *.rar archives. I works by a rar configuraton file described here: http://macitbetter.com/hidden-options but it would be nice to have an option in the archive creation window for that!
Maybe the password prompt should be also integrated in the archive creation window, which always confuses me for having an extra popup for the password. The fields for entering an repeating the password could e.g. fade in if you select a password-protection.

Best Regards
Monsi

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but I will add header encryption in the next version simply through an additional entry in the encryption drop-down in the save panel.

The password needs to be asked later, because you can re-save an already encrypted archive which should reuse the original password which you don't have at the time you are in the save panel.

ok, this is logic:
