Its OK, I should have first "git pull"ed gdar repository before my
previous mail, sorry :)

Yes I've seen that from the README. For info, the feature requested by
- --enable-date_s will be available with release 2.4.13. But since
2.4.12 was released, not important bug have been reported, its not yet
time for a new maintenance release. However, at worse release 2.4.13
will take place before the middle of May, I promise. :)

I can get gdar opening an archive, sliced or not sliced it works fine
whatever is the slice I give, great! But opening an encrypted archive
silently fails (no passord/crypto-algo requested and no error reported)?

Once open, I can see only the first entry of each level of the
directory tree. Well, note that my system is "gnome-free", as I banned
it out since gnome version 3 removed all the customization I was used
to have with gnome 2, features I guess anyone else is willing to have
under a modern graphical operating system (even under windows 7, I got
more possibilities to customize my desktop!). Anyway, the problem I
meet actually probably comes from my side! :)

On the right top of the window there is a switch sliding left/right (0
<-> 1) but I could not figure out its feature. Maybe this was also due
to my gnome-unfriendly system! Sorry for that.

I conclusion, for what I could see, I liked it :-) . Just can't wait
for more features, like archive creation, difference and testing. To
my point of view encryption, merging, hashing,... are secondary
features which support may not be present for a first version of gdar.

Anyway that's a promising piece of software. If you need more
advertising I suggest sending a note to dar-support mailing-list:
while it is a little off topic, the list has far more readers than
dar-discussion. Next, I can send an informational mail to dar-news
which is even more read. Of course I will add a link from dar
documentation once you will be ready.
