Wallet files used to be named "armory_<code>_encrypt.wallet"

Today I created a new wallet on 0.96.1 macOS. The filename was "armory_<code>_.wallet"

What happened to "encrypt"?

Just curious.

I'd wager because they're encrypted by default now? At least that seemed to be the case for me - new user so not an authoritative answer at all!

Can you confirm this, goatpit? Thanks.

Afaik, the encrypt suffix is added when you create an encrypted copy of an otherwise unencrypted wallet. The UI has been changed along the years to reduce the changes people would just create uncreated wallets by default (like while restoring from a paper backup).

If you're concerned your wallet is not encrypted, load it into Armory and check for yourself. If it is not, sweep the funds away asap.
