[Adam]

when I open document in office (word,excel) it is opened as read only and can not write to original place . have to save on 'normal' folder and then copy.

others like e.g notepad are ok - can be edited end resaved in orignial (encfs) folder.

I believe this issue to be related to ticket #63. I get the same exact error with MS Documents. I left the following comment there:

"I can confirm that this is happening to me as well. I shifted several documents into the encrypted volume and regularly encounter this read-only problem. Files affected include doc, xls, pdf, quicken database, other personal databases, and more. Generally, I can just copy the file to my desktop and then back into the encrupted volume. At that point, it will start working again. I think I will try to downgrade to 0.10.3 in the mean time as you suggest.

Please retest with version 0.10.5. Unfortunately I don't own MS Office, so I can't reproduce the error.
