           Summary: wish: add support for cryptoloop devices (needs password
                    popup)
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: devices
        AssignedTo: jowenn kde org
        ReportedBy: daniel.franke imbs uni-luebeck de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Desktop->RMB->Create New->Link to Device->Crypto Device

I set up an encrypted folder as described here [1] and there [2] (mount an encrypted \
filesystem stored within a file using crypto-loop). For convenience, I addded this \
file-based file-system to /etc/fstab, therefore I'm able to mount it as user and it \
works fine so far. My point: it would be nice to have a link to a crypto-device on \
the KDE Desktop that has icon "encrypted" if unmounted and "decrypted" if mounted. 

The problem: one has to enter a password to mount the encrypted fs, a popup (maybe \
access to kwallet) is needed. AFAIK, there's no way to enter a password in the \
current setup?!

Thanks
   Daniel
