Feature: Unmount after X minutes of inactivity #74

Feature: Have an option to unmount after X minutes of inactivity, this will increase security in case the user forgets to unmount and then leaves the computer.

Hi @JoakimCh -- thanks for the feature request.

I believe this is already implemented in the encfs upstream version. Can you see if it is working for your setup with encfs4win? You can use the "--idle=MINUTES" flag to set a timeout before forcing an unmount.

Is there any way to specify options for encfs.exe (like the idle option above) in encfsw.exe?

jetwhiz commented 5 years ago

Right now encfsw.exe has only basic functionality, so this isn't possible to do without rebuilding the executable and hard-coding an idle setting in.

I've been wanting to completely re-do encfsw to modernize it, though. I'm hoping to do this with the upcoming v1.11 release.
