Why am I not seeing encryption as an option in file roller? [duplicate]

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I've done: 

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

...but when I launch file roller, I don't see any encryption options and the UI seems very basic.

  1. Archive Manager (file-roller) have these options. Rt. click and Open with Archive Manager.

    To extract you can drag and drop.

    Can be used to encrypt as well as decrypt.

    file-roller

    file-roller-2

  2. OK so this UI is a bit strange. You have to "Create an Archive" first using the menu. Then you can do pretty much what ever you want.
