permanently decrypt an encrypted wallet?

[Diapolo]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but as I tried to play around with wallet encryption I was sure I could take the same way back.
Instead of "encrypt wallet", I awaited the option "decrypt wallet" in the Bitcoin client GUI (0.6 RC4) which is not there.

Is that not implemented? How can I now decrypt the wallet again?

Anyone ? Didn't want to open another ticket on GitHub, as this has for sure been discussed before.

Or dump it with pywallet, and import em to a new wallet but preserving your old addresses.

I had hoped for an Bitcoin RPC call or GUI function . But perhaps its intended to not be able to decrypt ...

Necromancing this: any plan to at least make "dumpprivkey" accept the decryption key as argument? The function has to exist in the client, it's just a matter of making it reachable from the debug console... This is making me wish I hadn't encrypted my wallet... :/

. . . This is making me wish I hadn't encrypted my wallet... :/

Why?

Is it really that inconvenient to have to provide a separate instruction for the password?

Well, that's not very convenient at least... I should really try pywallet though, apparently it supports decryption: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.msg708668#msg708668
