Hi Zsolt

To develop this idea a little...

When I saw the v.2 folder aliases, I thought: "Well, this tells me that the contents of these folders live somewhere else on this hard drive, but since the contents become visible to me when I double-click on the aliases, and backup normally to external drives, everything must be normal."

But when (in v.3) I saw the open disk images, my thought was: "This looks as though something is being hidden, as I do not see any disk image files."

The difference between the above two responses lies in this: How plausible it is to say that something is being *hidden* from the user?

Frankly, I've been with MacOS since v.7.1 and become so accustomed to folders (and folder aliases) that the v.2 approach felt so familiar to me that I thought it was ingenious!

Cheers

Hi Zsolt

Thanks for your comment.

I liked the folder aliases because it seemed these made the "plausible deniability" more convincing.

Hi

I've just upgraded from Esp. 2 where of course the unlocked Esp. folders appeared as Folder aliases.

But in Esp. 3 unlocked folders appear as open disk images.

Can I restore the behaviour of Esp. 2?
