  1. How? If I click it in Advanced Settings, it just reveals it in the Finder. Not the real folder, but the fake one in the Documents folder. I want to get rid of the fake one, and actually move the real data folder to Documents. Before I try symlinks, and other methods, is there a way to edit and move it in the settings?
  2. I just hit this issue. I thought my Enpass data was in my Documents folder, and it is NOT. This is extremely dangerous for backups. I thought my Documents folder was backing it up, and it wasn't, because it doesn't really exist. It's something worse than a symlink or alias, because if fakes you out. I couldn't figure out why my zip command in terminal was failing, and that's the only reason I discovered it. If it's a stupid macOS feature from Monterey, Enpass should disable it by default, so users don't think their backups are working, when they're not. I will try to move it to the real Documents folder now in the preferences, and hope it works. I have come across tons of apps that don't want their data moved, and I have to setup rsync to back up their data. Symlinks won't always work. Shoving them all in the containers folder was a dumb idea on Apple's part. Our data can now be scattered all over the place. Documents, containers, preferences, application data, just to name a few... This is making data management a nightmare. It also takes up a ton of space that otherwise, we would have in our documents folders. I don't want my data files on my NVME boot volume. This is for the OS only, for speed. Fortunately, I have 1TB boot volumes. I don't know how people could get their systems working properly with a 256GB NVME or SSD drive, or even a 512. I'm thinking I should have put 2TB boot volumes in my Macs, but that still wouldn't resolve the sloppy AF data management. Documents belong in the Documents folder! I don't understand how Apple cannot see that. Companies like Enpass should help out by making sure this is clear. Putting that fake Finder link in the Documents folder was not a good idea. It looks like a real folder, in every way. Put it in Documents for real. I haven't seen any other software do this yet. There may be some, but enabling a brand new bleeding-edge "feature" is not necessarily a good thing. Even leaving it alone in the containers folder would have been better, without the fake Finder folder link, because then we would see it, and deal with it. If I hadn't been trying to create a zip command in terminal, I would have never known, until I wiped or lost my boot drive. Unlike an alias or symlink, there's no way of knowing by looking at it, that it's a fake. You can see it in get-info, but you have to be looking for it. I guess the good thing about Enpass doing this, is that I found it. Otherwise, I would have never known, until it was too late. Also, other applications, like PathFinder cannot see it. It's a Finder only trick. I would like to know if there's a global disable for this "feature", if anyone knows what it's called, or where to find more info on it. It's bad enough having to enable our hidden libraries, but it's getting to the point, where Apple is writing code to special handle just about every folder. We don't need them to be data nannies. When it gets to the point where our computers become glorified iPads, I'm done with macOS. It seems like we're closer with every update. Even root can't do crap any more. The whole OS locks like it's in ROM.
  3. Yes, I am very frustrated that it's not implemented yet. At a minimum, support PDF attachments, and the rest later. JPG is the only format currently supported, yet PDF is the industry standard. I purchased the lifetime license, and was told it is coming, and still, nothing... Most of our important documents, like proof of insurance, is in PDF format. It's a must to be able to view these attachments when on the road. Police now accept digital documents, but Enpass does not. I switched from 1password when they destroyed their product by taking everyone's data for themselves, and removing our ability to have local and cloud vaults. Yes, it's a bit to get used to when switching from another app, but of all that I tested for several months, Enpass seemed to be the best, with the exception of this one thing. It is no small thing to be able to view our attachments! I am in the process of trying to get my friends and family off of 1password, to Enpass, and this is really a critical feature! I will help all I can to get the word out, and get more users switched to Enpass.
