If something is awry with your setup, your login is hosed. I played around with launchd LaunchAgents, which are pretty cool.
FUSE4X HOMEBREW MAC OS
Some folks have tried using a mac os login hook. And encfs needs its password, so this step may or may not need to be interactive. If NV gets its grubby hands in your unencrypted folder before encfs has started, then NV will create default files and just be confused. One of the challenges with this whole thing is that you need encfs to mount your unencrypted folder before Notational Velocity starts up. Or you could just create a bunch of text files and put them in your unencrypted folder. So if you have a bunch of existing notes you want to import, you can create a. The remaining columns are the body on a new lines. When you’re ready to party, configure Notation Velocity to store it’s text files in your unencrypted folder.īy the by, it’s not documented well, but you can import tab separated files into Notation Velocity. Make sure to configure it to store separate txt files that are NOT encrypted. Notational Velocity is a note taking app. If you’re confused about how all the encryption works, my suggestion is to just play with it.

We’re going to tell Notational Velocity to store it’s notes in the unencrypted folder. If you don’t have a Dropbox folder you’re doomed.

In the end you’re going to do something like this:Įncfs /Users/myusername/Dropbox/.encrypted /Users/myusername/unencrypted Once installed I recommend playing around with encrypted folders by following encfs’ extended intro. I have some stability issues (below) that I suspect are from Fuse4X. I think the macport of encfs uses Fuse4X. They’re all in various stages of support of OS X Lion. (There are also some alternate builds of macfuse out there). You’ve got the MacFUSE incumbant, and new Fuse4X and OSXFuse on the scene. The underlying magic that lets developers play with the macos filesystem is in flux. Something about “dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib”. Homebrew has a recipe for encfs, but it wasn’t playin. When I can’t find those, I first try homebrew. But if you must, here’s what I have done. I don’t think it will last, and I don’t recommend others try setting this up. I’ve just set us up using encfs, Notational Velocity, and Dropbox to keep important files (with passwords etc) both encrypted and easy browse on our macs.
