Hi there,
I need some help in untying a knot in my head. I am not a regular user of the encryption feature.

I understand that EncFS somehow scramble/hash all names of files and directories. BIT offers a "decode" feature to make the log file readable and convert the scrambled paths into there original names.

What I do not understand is that this decode (a checkbox in the bottom of the Log View dialog) is offered only for SSH-Encfs profiles but not for local-Encfs.

When viewing the log for a local-Encfs backup the paths are already human readable in not scrambled. But in the filesystem the paths are scrambled.

It seems that decoding is already done in local-Encfs but not in SSH-Encfs. Why?
Is there a good reason to have that separated behavior?

Thanks
Christian
