Porteus

LXQT 5.01 Porteus. I used the Porteus Settings Centre to encrypt and decrypt a simple text file. I was shown warnings that the "this path is not writable". But I forged ahead and clicked OK anyway. The file was simply in my home directory.

Using a standard savefile.dat in xfs format. The utility seemed to work so wonder what the warning was about.

Maybe the error was referring to the encrypted file not being writable to the /changes folder or save.dat file.

Seems to be working after a reboot despite the warning. I even tried using the util on files and folders on other partitions - no problem.

For the test, just banged out another install of LXQT 5.01 on another sd-card, but this time with an XFS partition for the changes instead of a save.dat file for kicks. No problem there either, other than the warning. Stoked - never made a porteus stick with a dedicated changes partition. A bright side to everything!

quite possibly a bug, but apparently one of those non-fatal ones
i'll take a look at it, thanks for reporting
