Problems opening/saving Gnucash files #14

Open michael-wenyon opened 5 years ago

michael-wenyon commented 5 years ago

Opening a .gnucash file on an encrypted volume mounted with EncFSMP v0.99 gives an error message (from gnucash) that the application cannot obtain the lock on the file and offering the option to open it anyway. Even if I open it anyway, I have other error messages when I try to save the file. I also observed this behavior in the previous version of EncFSMP.

I have no expert knowledge of Gnucash and how it manages locking files. At minimum, I know it creates a .LCK file, but I believe there may be more to it than that.

I can open, edit and save Gnucash files using EncFS v1.9.5 from the command line (in Mac, installed via Homebrew, and in Linux using native package manager) without problems.

My recent experience is with the current version of EncFSMP including EncFS 1.9.5

Cryptomator had a similar problem with Gnucash files in FUSE mode before V1.4.1 The discussion we had on the problem there, with input from Gnucash developers, might be helpful for fixing this for EncFSMP https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/issues/669
