Possible to set a password for the rclone config file without using rclone config (2)?

Feature
10

hope i am not going too off-topic.
if true then sorry, please just ignore this post but it might help other rcloners.
if it is of use, please let me know.

i agree that your suggested feature should be implemented.

until that happens, i used autoexpect to create crypt.rclone.config.file.exp, lightly edited,
which will crypt the config without using rclone config.

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set force_conservative 0  ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
			  ;# script wasn't run conservatively originally
if {$force_conservative} {
	set send_slow {1 .1}
	proc send {ignore arg} {
		sleep .1
		exp_send -s -- $arg
	}
}

set timeout -1
spawn rclone config --config=/home/user01/rclone/scripts/test.conf
