Hi,

I use Espionage mainly to lock folders (I.e., they are not encrypted). Since switching to Mountain Lion, I noticed that I can now click on "locked" folders and still see all their contents. Previously, when clicking on a locked folder, one was prompted to input the password to open the folder - otherwise access was denied. Now, as mentioned, I can immediately see the contents (file names, file types) of the "locked" folders. However, when I double-click a file contained in such a folder it won't open (either "file type not recognized" or "insufficient privileges"). While this is not as good a protection as not even seeing the folders contents, this still prevents unauthorized people from opening these files. However, if I myself want to open these files I have to invoke the Espionage program and switch the folder status manually from "locked" to "unlocked" - needless to say, this is very inconvenient! (I am also not aware of a context-sensitive submenu (right-click) that would offer to unlock a folder!?)

So, I was wondering if that is because of a problem with EspionageHelper or whether there could be another cause for this problem!? In any case, a way to fix it would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

Hi there,

I am currently evaluating Espionage, which seems to offer most of the features I am looking for. However, I was wondering if anybody in here had experiences on how to make it work with Hazel (which is a program scanning folders and performing certain actions when necessary)?!? I was trying to add the Hazel prefpane to the whitelist, but that doesn't stop me from getting the password prompt whenever Hazel is (routinely) checking all folders. I guess the problem is that Hazel is not a program as such, but uses processes (e.g., "hazelfolderwatch"), which perhaps cannot be added to the whitelist!?

I am sure several in this forum must use both applications!? Any leads/hints are appreciated!

Thanks!
