I think I may have accidently "restored" a folder. I had encrypted my pictures folder with espionage as a sparsebundle. I may have clicked restore folder and now in replacement of the pictures folder I just have the sparsebundle thats still encrypted I think. How can I get the sparsebundle back into espionage so things are back to the original state?

I added it by going to encrypt folder. I did not get the prompt that says its already encrypted. I think i encrypted it twice now.

I ran out of disk space during encrypting the folder again. It stopped in the middle with the critical alert error saying couldnt setup image. So i removed it from espionage and now im lost.

here is the log. im trying to access my pics to see if its still ok but my pw is so long. i used to paste my pw into espionage. is their a way to paste it into the regular image mounter? it wont let me paste.

so i mounted the image, typed in my password, it said it was opening it and nothing happen. now wen i double click the sparsebundle it just does nothing. please help me recover my pictures. i have 4gigs of pics and no backup

ok so i realized it does infact mount but it doesnt tell me it did. i had to see via terminal that it mounted it as /volumes/pictures. now how we do get this back into espionage lol. sorry for freaking out.

leland,

The instructions I gave above should be good for getting the disk image back under Espionage's control. Check to see that you followed them closely, particularly the part about making sure the names are the same, and that the sparsebundle is made invisible using the dot-prefix method first.

If you still can't get it to work though I recommend simply copying the files out of the disk image and into a folder, and then re-encrypting that folder.

Best regards,
