Espionage 3 / Clarification requested
May 29, 2012, 07:47:17 PM
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?

Espionage 2 / DevonThink Pro Office

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.
