Mount/unmount attachment as ramdisk #11012

Closed darkdragon-001 closed 2 days ago

darkdragon-001 commented 2 days ago

Summary

The "Open" feature for attachments seems to already support creating a ramdisk for an attachment and open a specific application. For some workflows it is not possible to open an application with a path to a secret but explicitly set a file path for an operation. Therefore, it would be great if there would be an additional "Mount"/"Unmount" button. Might even be good enough to mount it to some arbitrary location and just copy the path to clipboard when mounted successfully.

Examples

Using an "open file" dialog for a secret in a running app.

Context

Currently, I have to manually save and delete the file and I have to manually take care that I don't accidentally specify a location included in my automatic backup.

You must be root to do this and we won't be adding complexity to our attachment process.
