Using cinnamon desktop. could right click one a .txt file to archive it using 7-zip and adding a password? Coming from Mint where I was able to do it.
Many thanks

If I remember correctly, you have to install the nemo-fileroller package for this.

Instead of doing that, I’d suggest using engrampa instead of file-roller or Arch Linux, but only because of the theming issue you are likely to face. - Don’t want to be using a dark them and get a big light themed window pop up and singe your brain.

Here’s a kind of tutorial you can follow to use engrampa instead.
