Espionage 3 is no better than Disk Utility on Mac... why do you even have this app now?  Espionage 2 actually had a purpose, but because your company is too lazy to continue supporting the features, you basically just made a better gui for Disk Utility in creating encrypted DMG's... wow, you are so cool.  I bought Espionage 2 because it was NOT like Disk Utility and actually made encrypting important application date painless.  Now you want me to upgrade to Espionage 3, which should be called Disk Utility Pro instead, because it is absolutely useless and does nothing I can't already do with standard encrypted dmg's... smart move to screw your customers over because you are lazy and don't want to work with the changes in the OS.  I will use Espionage 2 until it doesn't work anymore and then I will move on.  I will also be starting an anti Tao Effects / Espionage web site to save other people the headache of spending money on a useless product.

I agree... I have been on the beta versions of Lion for a few months now and the GM build just recently, which is the same build number as the final retail version, and Espionage definitely has some bugs that need to be worked out.  Primarily for me, it does not auto-unlock data folders all the time when it is selected to do so and often gives errors when trying or makes the app bounce non-stop in the Dock as it can not access its data.  Sometimes I can not shut the bouncing app down as it is not really running, so I have to wait for it to eventually give up and just quit bouncing.  It definitely does not auto-lock those data folders when you quit the app.  There are other quirks, but as long as I manually unlock those folders from the icon in the menu bar before launching the app, it is fine, I just have to remember to also lock them again manually from the menu bar icon when I close them again, because quitting an app that is set to auto-lock its folders on exit will produce an error from Espionage saying it could not lock the folders.

If you are worried, I would wait for them to release an Espionage update before upgrading to Lion.
