updates? bugs?
Edward Ned Harvey
Is dokan being actively maintained? It's been a long time since I first installed it, and the present release version is the same as my presently installed version...
I'm asking because, I've been using encfs4win (and boxcryptor) for the last ... I guess year... I consistently discover it's buggy, but I figured a year ago, "Well, it's new, just wait a while." Now it's been a while, and there don't seem to be any updates... I believe it's dokan, because I do this all on win/lin/mac, and win is the only system that has problems.
I'm able to reproduce the problems, if anyone is available to help diagnose it and debug it. I believe a lot of people out there are having the same problems... It's weird, here's a typical example of one such buggy problem:
I have a word doc (doc, not docx). When I try to open it, Word experienced an error trying to open the file. (That's the exact error message.) But if I copy it to another drive, then it works fine. But if I make another copy of it in the same dokan directory, then the copy still has a problem. Move the copy out to a different drive... Works fine. Move the copied file back to dokan drive... Error message.
Make a new word doc (docx) in the non-dokan drive. Works fine. Move it to dokan drive. Still fine.
Make a new word doc (doc) in the non-dokan drive. Works fine. Move it to dokan drive. Error message.
It seems there's some filesystem operation that Word does, that's not supported by the filesystem. Admittedly, this could be either encfs4win, or dokan, or a combination of the two.
The problem does not apply to ALL word docs. It also does not apply EXCLUSIVELY to word docs. For example, if I open an excel spreadsheet... The spreadsheet itself works fine. But Excel creates these temp ~$filename temp files... And when excel closes, for some reason, those don't get deleted.
And some various other weird behavior stuff. If anyone's available / interested in debugging.

time but with some updates it's still failing.
Dokan seems to have a problem with mapping that cause a problem
executing files in encfs4win folders.
