Having to upgrade from an earlier Mac I asked some questions via contact address, no replies over 3 emails.
I also asked why would anyone purchase an app that wasn't supported by an active developer. That didn't get a reply either.
Clearly what was once a good app isn't in my repertoire any longer if i won't just shell out the money first.
Sadly I decline the offer.

D/l v1.4 and does all it says and efficiently and very quickly compared to old utes I've tried to persevere with.
Functionally very good, yet to try on grand scale (>10GB multiple archives etc.) but should be on everyones list if you collect stuff.
Question is, higher value or better to get more users @ say 5-10$ per bang? A hobbled version of uses will only encourage piracy/ abuse issues I guess.

##Resolved problems with Default Folder X forgetting favorite folders on some networked drives.

Ohh halleluja!!
AT long last the biggest PIA (next to forgetting where any 'fav' folder was and displaying different content to the header) has finally been fixed after two+ years.
A bit long in response time for not a cheap app, but a PIA having to work without it as well.
4 * for features since long ago, 2.5 * for instability and having to replace plists or prefs over and over again at quarterly intervals.

Would love to agree it does what it says after a months fair use. However, security and privacy aren't among the features.

1. Yes it does create a pw protected disk image with encryption.
However, information isn't kept secure.
Why? Because the app opens any disk image it owns without requesting any password- neither system nor 24 character secure password upon entry.
Just click the image and it's mounted, full access to everything stored there.

2. Automatic dismount on shut down ok. However mounted in an external drive and accessed by another LAN Mac the disk is again visible and mountable. Sure, you can't mount the disk unless password is known this time.

Whilst it performs basic create and save/ dismount disk images, there isn't any security worth noting except for inexperienced and naive new users.

Brief review on d/l of trial.
Two additional notes- no physical locsation of developer/ porter (yes it smells of Windows porting) and both developer and 'Help' manual are poorly written pidgin English.
===
While this app looks good at first look, Concerns:
A 'help' system that is purely old school PC type 'heres what the menu's mean' AND more importantly, is written in poor grammatical English.
Nothing like Mac help or support and fails to meet expectations. Appears grossly overpriced even at discount.

Examples, in prefs it has "Reminder to back up" =Never. Is that Never Remind, or NEVER BACK UP?
There's a significant UI difference, that goes unexplained.

Under Appearance, it appears the app has a SLidebar!

Neither Esc nor Cmd-Comma close preference panel, so this is not a Mac built app.

Why should the manual/ Help be a separate download performed after the apps install?

After importing a sample dataset of graphics, and appying different metadata tags, why does the display graphic differ from the 'Information' panel- no Stars and no tags?

If, as can sometimes happen in a dynamic work environment, a file is changed outside the database that is created by app, there is no 'Update', 'ReImport' or 'Revise/ Archive' option available. Seems a pretty basic function that any UI designer would know about.

A sloppy app, not up to it's grandiose sales pitch.
