I just found another method, can you tell me if this is OK?

If i go to /Users/me/Library/Application Support/com.taoeffect.Espionage3/Data

double click the volume there, type the password and set it to "remember", and then add that volume file to the login items via system preferences > accounts, it should auto-open. Is this an OK behavior?

Thank you, yes, it's a feature request :) It was said in the past that a kernel extension was necessary and this made things more complicated whenever a new version of mac os x comes out it may fail. But it appears now that there are ways to accomplish this without any sort of kernel extension.

Thanks.

Yep, it even looks like a folder in the official video on espionageapp.com

That's right, it's basically to protect the data from thieves. They'd have to know my keychain password to gain access to the encrypted drives. Yes, keychain is 3DES, but that doesn't really matter if you have a strong password. Besides, it's an option for the user to enable this or not. I don't care about regular family use though it is protected anyway by a screensaver password after a few minute of inactivity.

Thanks for your fast reply, but that seems a little insecure as well. The DMG's may have a highly encrypted password, but what if the "bad guys" just try to brute force the file where Espionage saves it's passwords in? So I don't think this is a good solution.

I know that keychain "only" does 3DES, but with a very long password, that doesn't really matter all that much. So it would be a welcome feature to add to this, so all protected folders can auto-mount on login.

Espionage 3 / Mounted folder appears as volume

I've seen some videos, and it's supposed to just look like a regular folder. However, with me, it looks like a normal external volume, with the eject icon at the end of the column even. Why doesn't it look like a regular folder?

I want my folders to be unlocked automatically when I log in, without having to enter any password (other than the mac os x login password of course). Is this possible, if so how?

I recently came across MacFort which has the ability to protect applications and folders with a password (the functionality which was removed from Espionage). They do this without a kernel extension, instead they intercept the application launch in some different way (their words). Is it really not possible for Espionage to do something similar?
