Thanks for noticing my link. http://trip2me.tistory.com/56

Actually if you archive files in zip format, it use info-zip command utility internally. It supports legacy obfuscation password only.

If you want AES encryption, select 7zip format with password.

Or another trick, If you select 7zip format and give a option '-tzip -mem=AES256' into More archive option text field, you can make AES-256 encrypted zip file. But archive file's extenstion still remains '.7z', so you need to rename it into '.zip'.

I consider adding encryption methods into my modified version.
