Hi...

So when i tried to encrypt some folders in the "Macintosh HD"..I always get a message that says "Permission error- Espionage needs to be abe to write to the parent folder(/).!

another issue, is when i tried to encrypt "iPhoto" from the inside of Espionage, i can't and i receive this message: "Mission application data - Espionage cannot find any of the application's folder" /users/AJ/pictures/iPhoto Library - this can happen if the application hasn't run yet or was recently updated an has moved its data."

I'm kinda new to Mac.. so I'm trying to get familiar with all terms mentioned..

now to get this straight:
1- The way Espionage works is just like file vault??.. so it creates disk images? or it changes the targeted folder from a "folder" into a "disk image"?
2- is the disk image has the exact size as the original folder? so it's a matter of duplication?
3- i successfully encrypted the iphoto library and it eventually encrypted iPhoto ... but, all of my photos were originally put in a folder called "photos" in Macintosh HD main folder.. what about that folder? the content is still out there...
4- as much of what i understood from your answer about the first issue, if I managed to move the targeted folder into Users/user name/***** "folder", would that allow Espionage to encrypt it?

seriously, I'm quiet confused here.. 15 years of using Windows to Mac.. it's a big loop...

my regards

this is just a wonderful explanation..
thank so much for help, patience, and for making such a nice app!

now all my personal files are protected and safe...
