Espionage 3 / Re: Application Associations
May 28, 2012, 08:16:29 AM
In spite of what Apple wants, I have no plans to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion. What I've seen of the first and heard of the second lead me to believe I'll be losing a lot of functionality that I currently enjoy. I'm also not fond of being forced to purchase applications through Apple. I've always enjoyed customer to vendor interactions, and having them as an intermediary does not appeal to me.

The current method used by Espionage 3 would be no different than my creating an encrypted sparse image and opening that myself each time I need to run the application. If that is the case, why do I need your product?

As for unlocking the folder when I log in, that is a non-starter. The idea is to keep them locked at all times unless I am using them. As an enterprise security architect, it just makes more sense to me. Leaving them open all the time means they are vulnerable upon the system recovering from sleep mode or if by some odd chance, my password to the machine is cracked. I like the layers of security afforded by the Espionage 2 method.

Espionage 3 / Application Associations

If I understand this correctly, I can no longer click on an application icon and have Espionage 3 automatically open the files and load the application. If that is true, you just broke the primary reason I use Espionage and made Espionage 3 non-functional in my use case.

I understand security and usability often need to be balanced, but if this was done just to get the app in the Apple App store, you've done your customers a huge disservice.

Espionage 2 / Thunderbird slows under Espionage

Has anyone noticed Thunderbird slowing down a lot once under Espionage? Scrolling the folder pane is now jerky, instead of the smoothness without encryption enabled.
