Description
When encrypt file using nemo seahorse extension, default output file extension becomes pgp.
This seems not be configurable at all: used extension is hardcoded.
I'd like to use gpg by default, and in order to do that my only option rn is to patch and rebuild whole extension.
Could you add configuration (like ~/.config/nemo/extension/seahorse.conf with encrypted_file_extension = "*pgp/gpg here*"?

Research direction
Start with nemo-seahorse/tool/seahorse-util.h, where the issue identifies the hardcoded output extension. Trace how the extension is used during file encryption, then add a configuration path for overriding it and verify that the configured value controls the generated filename while the existing default remains unchanged.
