Re: introducing zuluCrypt,a GUI solution for block device encryption

@firekage

zuluCrypt-gui now an option to not auto open mount point when a volume is unlocked.
The option is at "menu->options->Auto Open Mount Point"

Its now possible to unlock a VeraCrypt volume through the favorite feature.At the password dialog prompt,tick "VeraCrypt Volume" box to unlock your VeraCrypt volume.

The opening of all favorite volumes in VeraCrypt seems to work only if all volumes share the same password and that seems that an odd thing to have.zuluCrypt now has an option to mount all favorite volumes and all it does currently is generate a password prompt for each favorite entry.This seems like the right thing to do for those of us who have multiple volumes and each volume has its own password like i think it should be.

Re: introducing zuluCrypt,a GUI solution for block device encryption

Quick post to inform of the release of version 5.0.0.

changelog can be read from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zulucrypt/

Example use case for the "plain dm-crypt volume at a none zero offset":

A 100MB drive with two volumes.

1. The outer volume formatted with "vfat" file system and allowing the drive to be used like any regular hard drive with unencrypted volume. Plug in this hard drive into any computer and the computer will say the hard drive has 100MB of storage space and its formatted with "vfat" file system.

2. The inner volume containing a "plain dm-crypt" volume at 80MB offset giving a hidden volume of 20MB.

As the owner of the drive,you can use both volumes and everybody else will only see the "vfat" file system and they will have no reason to wonder if the drive has a hidden volume.

No protection of the hidden volume is offered but the volume should be safe as long as the out volume is used without getting too close to the beginning of the inner volume.

The file system to use with the outer volume should be "vfat".
