Okay okay, so no instant apply. But can we still open the password setting 
dialog directly after switching (without doing the actual encryption/moving of 
resources yet)? This would imo still be better than setting it after closing the 
main dialog (for various reasons stated earlier).

I never suggested "tap outside to apply", that would be stupid ;) If instant 
apply is not possible we need a Save button, that much is for sure. And where 
there is a save button, even a cancel button would make sense to accompany it 
(the label still needs to be changed, as "close" does not necessarily imply 
"cancel"). Either all or nothing, anything in between is more confusing than 
helping.

Looking forward to reading them ;)
