Spotlight problem - Mountain Lion, OSXFUSE 2.54, BC 1.1 (8c6606a)

Hi
There's a strange spotlight behavior within my BoxCrypt-container:
The drive is mounted with "enable spotlight":

mdutil says:
/Volumes/Tresor:
Indexing enabled.

Now I can search for content using spotlight within my container. But files searches fails!! I cannot search for pdf files for example.
Turning off the indexing via:

mdutil -i off /Volumes/Tresor/

brings back files serach but of course turns of content search.

Especially "Yep" uses both search variants... one for finding pdf files and the other for finding specific files.

Do you have any idea what's the reason fpr that behavior??

Best
SirAnn

Okay, just for completion:

I tried following: Creation of a brandnew BoxCrypt-Container and volume with checked "enable spotlight".
Result:
sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/Tresor/
Password:
/Volumes/Tresor:
Indexing disabled.

(as discribed above: I can search for files by filename)

sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Tresor/
Password:
/Volumes/Tresor:
Indexing enabled.

-> search for content works fine, but search for files fail...

Seems to be a bag of hurt to me ;-)

okay, erst jetzt gelesen, dass man auch auf deutsch schreiben kann ;-)

habe gestern noch etwas herum getestet und festgestellt, dass es teils sporadisch funktioniert.
Leider nur partiell. Es werden einige Dateien (per Dateiname und Inhalt) gefunden, aber nicht alle.
Wurde eine pdf-Datei, die nicht in den Ergebnissen vorhanden war, geöffnet, dann wird sie im Anschluss .

echt seltsam. Ich vergleiche drei inhaltsidentische Ordner. Einen unverschlüsselten, einen TrueCrypt- (der ebenfall OSXFUSE verwendet) und eben einen BoxCrypt-Ordner... Die Probleme habe ich ausschließlich beim letzten.

Hi,

As some of our developers are non-native German speakers (e.g. our Mac developer Adrian) it's best to post Mac related stuff in English. We will have a look at that issue!

Okay, sorry. Thus I just translate my last entry.

After testing around a few hours I figured out that the behavior seems not to be straight forward. Sometimes it's possible to search for files and for content if indexing is on. But most of the time only some files get found. Especially files that were opendend once will be in the content results list. But after a reboot the file search completeley fails.

My testing setup are thre content ident folders: one regular os x folder, one drive mounted by TrueCrypt (that's also uses OSXFUSE) and one BoxCryptor folder. For last one I tried new ones, existing ones, etc. pp. The TrueCrypt instead folder works perfectly, but there I have the DropBox syncing problem. The file must be unmounted before DropBox can sync it. The file encryption based way is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. I'm not sure where's the problem: BoxCryptor, OSXFUSE or my computer ;-)

Hi muffmolch. Thanks for reporting here, as always Spotlight won't give me a break :-) We will do our best to test this and to make sure Spotlight works as expected with BoxCryptor.

I will report back here, when we have news fro you.

Best regards,
Adrian.
