Hello Bernd,
Why do programmers have to reinvent the wheel on GUI always and come up with a square one then?
In good old days, Apple was very strict and very consistent about the GUI on Mac, but this was a long time ago, and Apple was the first to create mess, I have a dozen of stupid examples, but I do not want to bother you here. So as Apple took the liberty to mess with GUI, the devs do the same. Some users like this, some not. You obviously not, and this is OK too. If you do not like it, propose how would you like it and we will consider it for future versions.
Obviously now when I encrypt a folder and then click on it it allows access but shows no content - CORRECT?
Yes, in Espionage 3, a click on a protected folder does not trigger any action which would indicate that this folder is protected. You can even put some files into it when it is locked, they will sit there happily until you unlock the folder, then they will temporary disappear and be replaced with the real content, once you lock it, they will appear again.
How do I delete in OSX now or remove the folder from Espionage?
The first question I do not understand, you delete in OS X by moving items into trash...or what did you want to ask?
You remove a folder from espionage by right clicking onto it in the Espionage window, and selecting the appropriate option
I deleted one test folder in to trash after unlock and now -fantastic- I have a message mountpoint missing.
As mentioned above, to OS X this mountpoint folder is just a regular folder, so yes, you can trash it, and yes, Espionage will complain about that as it cannot present the protected data because there is no mountpoint it can present it through. You can either recreate it, or select a different folder for mount point, you do this by clicking onto small "i" near the folder in the Espionage main window, and use the mountpoint drop down menu.
Well that wouldn't be too tragic if you just pls. allow to delete that folder with the missing mountpoint from the list.
However there is no menue AT ALL that I found where I can do that.
To protect users from accidentally deleting data, the folder removal is possible only if the data can be decrypted into normal state, and this is not possible without mount point.
We had users requesting this to be possible to override, and it will be implemented in upcoming releases.
Where's the beef in version 3 and why can I not put version 2 on ML?
You can, Espionage 2 will run fine on ML. The only thing which will work unreliably is when you have some applications protected and select "reopen windows" on boot in ML, this might create problem as the app will try to reopen before Espionage loads, so it will not be able to react on the folder read attempt.
I hope I helped a bit, let me know if you have any further comments,
Zsolt
