#187 Preferences "TrueCrypt Mode" is ignored

[Franz Seidl]

I've disabled "TrueCrypt Mode" in the preferences (tab "Mount Options").
When I mount a volume, the option "TrueCrypt Mode" is automatically enabled in the popup.
I've to disable it manually again, every time I mount my volume.

I use version 1.22 and Kubuntu 17.10.
Under Windows 10 it works as I expect: "TrueCrypt Mode" is here disabled in the mouting popup.

your volume file name is certainly ending with .tc extension and that's why VeraCrypt "TrueCrypt Mode" is enables regardless of the preferences.
This is by design to help TrueCrypt users under Linux/MacOSX mount their legacy volumes easily.

If you don't want TrueCrypt Mode to be checked, then remove or change the .tc extension from the volume file name.

You're right! I've changed the file extension of the volume and now it works as expected. Thank you very much!

By the way, I've noticed some irregularity:
When I create a new volume, the "Select file" dialog has following filter: "VeraCrypt Volumes (*.tc)". The windows version has the filter "VeraCrypt Volumes (*.hc)".

Thank you for spotting the .tc issue. I have pushed a fix for it: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/code/ci/18b837a8d74011eccbef2205c7bcaf222caf4054/
It is amazing that nobody noticed it before...perhaps most people don't use the file filter.

Good work - thanks again!
