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
