Thanks for allowing the ability to re-trial v3.5!

I made a test .dtBase2 file, encrypted it, added some test documents to it, decrypted it and got the following message (see end of this message)

Was it something in my workflow, or has DTPO not been tested with Espionage 3.5?  Is the error message an issue with DTPO or Espionage is my question.

I'll do some more testing before moving my 2GB DTPO folder to Espionage's encryption.

Also, so I'm clear, the way it worked in Ev2, where I double click on DTPO in the Finder, it prompts me for a password, Ev2 unlocked the folder, I did my work, and quit DTPO and Ev2 locked the folder on exit and this IS NOT how Ev3.5 works?

I have to unlock in the Ev3.5 menu bar and then it unlocks the .dtBase2 folder and launches DTPO?

Is this scriptable (unlocking Ev3.5 folders)?  I'd like to invoke it via an AppleScript or some other method using Alfred v2.

Some files were left inside of this folder and couldn't be moved:

/Users/harringg/Documents/DTPO/13MBP.dtBase2/fa\rINt_GP

Details: Error during copy: "Settings.plist" couldn't be moved to "13MBP.dtBase2" because an item with the same name already exists.

Could not copy all of: /Users/harringg/Library/Application Support/com.taoeffect.Espionage3/Data/Temp/fa\rINt_GP

See system log for more.

Quote from: "zsolt"Hello Harringg,

Now at the end I do not know if you want to use V2 or V3, so I do not know if your last question is related to V2 or V3. But in short, V2 uses so called symlinks to trick the finder or other application to think that the folder is there where it is expected, where it is in fact on a mounted disk image.
In some cases this did not work well and the apps would realize that it is not the real folder but a symlink.
V3 uses different mechanism where the transparency should be better and less or no apps will be aware that it is not the real folder.

But the best way to go is to simply test. Create a new DB and test with it, I do not believe that you can mess something up, but in case you do backups, then do one before you start :-)

I never had any luck with v3 and DTPO. Now that 3.5 uses Folder Actions I wanted to download and try it, but get an error message that my trial period has expired.  Which it has, because when I last used v3 and it didn't work as I had been using v2 I abandoned it.

Does anyone have any real-world advice if DTPO and v3.5 with Folder Actions works since I can't try for myself.

I currently have a DevonThink Professional Office folder encrypted in Espionage2.  I launch DTPO and get prompted for a password, enter it, and access my databases, .dt2base files.  Quit DTPO and it re-encrypts it.  Perfect workflow.

/Users/MyAccount/Documents/DevonThinkProOffice/Locked-DTPO

If I read correctly, in Espionage3, I'll need to keep the folder unlocked while logged in or use FileVault (I've never used it before).  If I need to keep it unlocked all the time, whether DTPO is running or not, defeats the purpose of encryption.  Using FileVault defeats the purpose of upgrading to E3.

This is literally the only reason I use Espionage 2, that single folder, nothing else is encrypted with it.  My DTPO database contains taxes, paystubs, receipts, and other PII (personally identifiable information).

Should I stick with E2 in this workflow?

I wasn't able to launch my DevonThink Pro database because it bounces in the Dock and won't open.  I looked in the console log and saw this:

12/5/11 7:56:59.000 PM kernel: [iSpy.kext] WARNING (1440): timed out on (0xffffff80125cf808|6); denying pid=65 access to: /Users/MyUserName/Documents/DevonThinkProOffice/Locked-DTPO

I did a google search for the iSpy.kext and found the top hits lead to Espinoage forums.

Is this a known issue that is actively being worked on?

10.7.2

I'm going to reboot my machine, because when trying to launch Espionage to get the version number (it's the most current as far as I know), it crashes too.

I was able to use it just the other day, so it's a recent issue.

2.8.13 fixed my DTPO issues.

Thanks for the quick update!

I have a DevonThink Pro Office database inside an Espionage 2.8.12 encryption folder.  Launching DTPO unlocks the database folder (as before in 10.6.x), but quitting DTPO in 10.7 gives a critical error:

"Cant relock folders for DevonThink Pro because the association was removed".

I can go into Espionage app and manually lock the folder.  

Hoping 2.8.13 fixes that.  Thanks for keeping this great application current with Lion.

Any update or are we still out of luck with Quicken 2007?  I recently bought Espionage, but see this thread is from mid-2009.  Is the only fix to upgrade Quicken if we want it to work with Espionage?

Putting the .dtBase2 files in a parent Finder folder and encrypting that works great.  I'm also using this approach with CircusPonies Notebook files (.nb).  Adds a level of security that's secure and easy to implement.

Any users using this with DTPO?  What I found was the .dtBase2 file (where DTPO stores it's data) is duplicated.  Meaning, under normal usage situations, test.dtBase2 contains PDF,RTF, etc... files when you Show Contents.  Now with Espionage, it shows test.dtBase2/test.dtBase2/PDF, RTF/ect....

With Espionage, it creates test.dtBase2 and nests the existing test.dtBase2 inside that, so DTPO can't see it.  I can create new files and they are stored in the encrypted database, but my existing data (test.dtBase2) is embedded one level down so isn't seen inside of DTPO.  The data is still intact, but in it's current state, DTPO can't see it.

I've posted in the DTPO forums as well, but wondering if anyone here has used the two together.
