Description

I am using my own encryption (instead of sqlcipher) ... now I know you build and ship the community edition of SQLCipher with db browser. This is simply the sqlcipher.dll.

I have successfully built sqlite3 with my own encryption and then just replaced your packaged sqlcipher.dll that you ship and everything seems to work well.

The issue I have is that it seems a bit messy. I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way of replacing your sqlcipher.dll?

Any thought's would be appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the packaged sqlcipher.dll is loaded and replaced in DB Browser for SQLite. Clarify whether the project should support a cleaner replacement mechanism or document the current approach, then confirm the expected behavior with a maintainer before making changes.
