I was originally going to make the subject "What does auto-lock do?" but thought everyone would think, "duh."
So, I'll just start out and give you my idea of what auto-lock does. I assume that it will lock the folder, meaning that the folder will be re-encrypted and the user won't be able to view the contents of the folder.
If I'm wrong, then what comes next may be a moot point. Or more correctly, I need more information.
Here are my preferences for Espionage:

As you can see, I have Espionage auto-lock after 10 minutes and the folders lock after 45 minutes. So this morning, I was working on a folder that I have encrypted using Espionage. I had Finder open to the folder that I had protected by Espionage. I got up and left and came back about 2 hours later and noticed that the files were still visible within the still open Finder.
So did auto-lock not work or, because Finder was still open, did Espionage "sense" that I was still working with the files and not trigger auto-lock?
Also, what is the effect of Espionage auto-locking? I would assume that when Espionage auto-locks, all the folders encrypted by Espionage would be re-encrypted but that is not what happening on my system.
