ah, makes me feel a lot better. thanks for the detailed explanation!

There is very little chance of this being necessary. System updates update applications. For example, a system update could install a new version of the Mail application, but Mail's data would be left untouched until the next time you ran Mail. For example, between the update from 10.5 to 10.6 Mail updated its internal data, but everything went fine even though it was encrypted by Espionage.

Could you explain this more? If Mail's data is encrypted by Espionage and the installer attempts to access content in the protected folder for updating purposes, how would it be possible without first unlocking the protected data in that folder? I have a similar concern in locking Adobe Dreamweaver. The CS suite sometimes issues updates when Dreamweaver isn't running for instance, so theoretically if there were an update that needed access to DW's data folder and it happened to be locked by Espionage at the time, how would the update process be possible in that scenario?

BTW - loving Espionage so far, it's a fantastic piece of software. My only concern is with the updating of apps in the situation above (which I realize is probably rare as you mentioned).

Thanks!
