WOW ... thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monte,

You're awesome! Thanks for getting this done so quickly, and NSFileProtection support as well (thanks Guglielmo for suggesting). There's considerable interest in file protection, so you should consider starting a separate thread. I suspect that many will not find your great external buried here (and of course, send an email to this of us who purchased your other externals letting them know about this important addition).

Fireworx- If you haven't already purchased Monte's externals, you'll want to now. His latest addition should allow you to keep your PDFs where you want them and satisfy the new guidelines. Please let us know when your resubmitted app is approved.

Hi call-151

I'm making announcements in the announcements topic on the mergext.com forum. You can subscribe to that and get an email when there's action on that topic. I'm only doing more major announcements here and on the use list but I guess a new external is relatively major

Cheers

Monte

Yes, I remember a long series of discussions about data protection, probably on the 'developer list' ... this is why I suggested to Monte this add-on

Monte ... I think a lot of people is interested in NSFileProtection ... highlights it in all lists and forums

Again thanks,

Guglielmo

Thanks CALL-151,
I finaly got it through my thick head that it's EITHER move the PDF's to the library/cashes folder OR set the "do not back up" atribute on the "documents" folder which monte's external can take care of. Briefly what does the file protection settings that you requested take care of?
Thanks,
Dave

It enables hardware based AES-256 encryption for files that have this attribute set. A safeguard against loss of protected or confidential info if a device is stolen and jailbroken.
