Espionage 3 / Re: Unable to open Sparsebundl...
Last post by zsolt - May 09, 2017, 11:16:43 PMGood Morning Jens,
OK, in this case it might be that you are hitting the "external volume mountpoint folder on Sierra" problem.
Please create a new empty folder in your Documents folder on the boot disk, name it anyway you want.
Now unlock Espionage, click onto small "i" near the folder name in the espionage folder list, and using the mountpoint drop down menu, point Espionage to this newly created folder.
Try to unlock the folder now, if it works, you will see the content of the disk image through that new folder.
Let me know if this worked,
Thanks
Zsolt

Espionage 3 / Re: Unable to open Sparsebundl...
Last post by espiJe - May 09, 2017, 01:33:21 PMHi Zsolt,
I have 2 disk in my MacBook Pro. The main disk has been replaced with a new one (Sierra on it). The 2nd disk had my sparsebundle and mount point.
Are you booting from an internal or from an external disk?
I'm booting from the new internal disk (start volume)
Was the folder you protected on external disk or internal disk?
It was on the 2nd internal disk (in the CD Rom bay)
Does the problem happen with each protected folder or only with this one?
Unfortunately, I only have one protected folder.
What I have tested:
a) copied over the files under /Application Support/... AND the sparsebundle and folder to my new internal disk. That showed me the folder and sparsebundle in Espioanage app.
aa) tried to unlock with that setting - no success
ab) pointed folder and sparsebundle to the still existing ones on my 2nd disk - no success.
Maybe I' missing a step. So, any help appreciated.
Tia,

Last post by zsolt - May 09, 2017, 12:59:01 PMHello Jens,
With Sierra, there is only one known problem, and this is when the moutpoint folder is on an external disk, to fix it, you create an empty folder on your boot disk and use the Espionage folder option window to point it to the new folder.
However, I'm not sure if I understand your setup properly.

Espionage 3 / Unable to open Sparsebundle af...
Last post by espiJe - May 09, 2017, 09:36:06 AMHi TaoEffect,
I'm running into an issue encrypting my sparsebundle.
I have created a new Sierra OS X install and made this my main disk.
Sparsebundle, Mount folder, and Espionage folder under /Application Support have been copied over to my new disk.
When I want to unlock my bundle, I get a non-meaningful notification popup in German (my system is German) saying: Kritische Warnung: Freigabe von TEM: Oeffnen der Image-Datei fehlgeschlagen. Fehler: fehlgeschlagen
I tried several suggestion from this forum (TopicID 11199, 10044, 10041) but no success.
I have 1 backup but I fear to touch it in case something will get damaged during my attempts.
Appreciate any advice.

Espionage 3 / Re: Odd actions re Espionage 3...
Last post by zsolt - May 04, 2017, 01:56:15 AMThen pick one of the apps, little snitch or 1P and contact their support, let me know what they said.
I had the little flocker for a while too, but without license it was not active all the time, and did not notice these requests, in spite of having both LS and 1P installed.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop

Espionage 3 / Re: Odd actions re Espionage 3...
Last post by desker - May 03, 2017, 03:00:47 PMI've just taken a look at the attempts. More than 20 apps have asked for access. Many of them have asked for access to the Espionage folder and no other. Many have asked for access to other folders.
For example, 1Password has asked only for access to this folder and no others. On the other side, Malwarebytes has asked for access to Espionage and four other folders, Google, Firefox, Safari and its own folder. But then that would not be unexpected.
I'd have to say then that no, the apps do not ask for other unexpected folders.
Other requests for the Espionage folder have come from the likes of helpd, mapspushd, ksfetch, parsedc, Posterino, Barsoom, BetterZip and swcd.
Frankly, I can't see any real pattern, the only common item being Espionage.

Espionage 3 / Re: Odd actions re Espionage 3...
Last post by zsolt - May 03, 2017, 01:13:13 PMHello, you should ask the app devs what do they want with that folder...
The ClamXAV I would understand as it scans the entire disk, but for the rest, no idea, little snitch should not access folders at all, only monitor network traffic and 1Pass should not do anything but it's own stuff, so the question is valid.
Do they try to access other unexpected folders too or they just want Espionage's folder?
Cheers
Zsolt
