You can actually set a folder's icon to whatever you want.

Sure, I just lack the creative skills to come up with a nice Espionage folder icon. I had already found a tool which allows for engraving graphics into the OS X folder symbol. However, the outcome hasn't been convincing. ;)

Great, thanks again. I'll have a look at the GUI scripting thread!

A command-line tool for manipulating Espionage'd folders is planned though.

Sounds great! Would a start for this be something as simple as the following?

Code Select Expand

Espionage.app/Contents/MacOS/Espionage -unlock "~/Secret Folder"

Also, we are planning on making Espionage more active about managing folder sizes, so you might not have to worry about it in the future.  8-)

Ha, even better. :)

Keep up the great work!

Great to find this idea here already.

I would second it. From my experience I would more think of it as a setting individual to each Espionage'd folder. Because for some folders it usually makes sense to always have Espionage open the respective Finder window while for some folders it might never make sense.

Hi there,

Could you consider automatically deleting all files/documents (within an Espionage'd folder) from the list of recently used objects in the Apple menu after one locks a folder again?

It would be great if you could consider this as a feature in a future Espionage release.

By the way, it would also be great if Espionage'd folders had specific folder icons similar to the Applications, Documents, or Dropbox folder. :)

Thank you again! You're doing a great job. It's fun using Espionage!

Hi there,

As I am obviously currently in the automization mood ;) it would be great if I could automatically mount encrypted folders on an external HDD as soon as it is plugged in.

I am not sure what would be the smartest way to go about it. I would most probably like to use NetworkLocation to trigger some form of "mount action". But I don't know whether this action would be an AppleScript or something smarter.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

I just realized that I could save a lot of disk space after compressing the sparse images of encrypted Espionage folders using the following Terminal command:

Code Select Expand

hdiutil compact ".Secret.sparseimage"
I would love to automate this with an AppleScript to regularly run it as a scheduled script e.g. using launchd or simply a repeating iCal event.

Is there a way I can temporarily disable a specific Espionage folder (as described as step 2 here) using AppleScript (not GUI scripting though, please)?

Thank you!
