Hi, I'm the one proposing the previously mentioned encrypted folder backend. In order to achieve this, I would like to be able to mount an encrypted folder whenever the user accesses the mountpoint. This will create a seamless experience, where the encrypted folder can be treated much the same as a regular folder. So, is it possible to do this from a gvfs backend? Specifically, if a backend knows the mountpoints ahead of time, can it mount something whenever these mountpoints are accessed (e.g. when an application tries to enumerate over the mountpoint, or when a GFile object is requested from a URI inside the mountpoint)? Looking at the doc, it would appear the mount spec has something to do with this. It mentions about registering a prefix, but doesn't specify any rules on it. So, is it possible to use the path as the prefix registered (e.g. "/home/foo/mountpoint/"), and would this help achieve that goal? Thanks, Sam Bull
