Gnome Encfs Manager

When using automatic unmount, the UI is not updated

Asked by Michael Wyraz

I use GEncfsM with the option to automatically unmount when being idle. That works fine but when automatic unmount occurs, the UI is not updated. So the stash is still shown as mounted.
When I now click on it, the ui hangs on trying to unmount the stash.

Workaround: Always open the management window and click on refresh befor mount/unmount.

Thank you for your question.

It might be that your mount-directory is outside your home or media directory and hence isn't tracked by gnome for mount operations. The UI hang is fixed in 1.8.15

Hope this helps and kind regards,
Moritz

Thank you for the answer. I've upgraded to 1.8.15. My EncFS mount is from /home/mwyraz/.Sync/.creds to /home/mwyraz/.creds (which is all within my home).

1. mounted it via tray icon
2. waited until it's unmounted (1 minute)
3. still shown as mounted in tray and manager
4. clicked on "unmount" -> it's shown as unmounted without delay
5. clicked on "mount" -> it's correctly mounted

So I can confirm that 4-5 is fixed with 1.8.15. But the 1-3 issue still exists.

I tried to change my mount_dir_base to $HOME but it's still the same.

Hidden mount directories (starting with a dot) aren't tracked as well...
