I tried to set up an encrypted folder on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial with Gnome desktop. I know that encfs is not considered especially safe anymore, I decided to use it for my purpose anyway. Encrypting a folder with

encfs /home/xy/.hidden /home/xy/unhidden

worked fine. To add a little more usability to that, I installed cryptkeeper and started it. When I now try to import the newly created encfs-folder, I can see it in the file selection dialog, after enabling hidden files, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually select it for import. There's no "OK" or "Select" button when I highlight it. There's no difference if the folder is mounted or not. Is that a known bug of this combination or am I too dumb to select a folder?

Edit: Screenshot of dialog included.

enter image description here In english: "Ordner anlegen" means "Create folder", "Abbrechen" is "Cancel" and "Vor" seems to be "Prev." in this context.

"Vor" seems to be the right button here. In English version of the software, it's "Forward".

  • Ahhh. I see. You are right. It looked like it just brought me back one level up. But that's the next dialog already. Alright. Works now. So it's "to dumb to select folder". – Hinz Mar 07 '18 at 11:15
