My case is by no means a reason, or request, to keep GPA, but since
you're asking...

I frequently decrypt backup tarballs on Windows purely as a local
staging post. These are from *nix file systems and the tarball needs
to be kept intact for onward distribution, not unpacked.

Is there a way to stop Kleopatra from inferring that it should unpack a
file like 'backup.tar.gpg' using gpgtar. This is the sole reason I
install GPA these days.

Without GPA my workaround would be to rename the encrypted file,
decrypt, rename the plaintext, but it's easier just to use GPA.

Hopefully the answer isn't hiding in plain site in the Kleopatra
documentation :)
