Ah, the developer version. That explains the .90. I'm not brave enough to go that route.

Nice! There's also now a "Paranoid" feature...aka offline-only mode. Great idea IMHO.

Nice dont know how much I'd use it at the moment ,but I will be testing it when it arrives in my app

I like that train of thought! Maybe when I get a 64bit system, I'll test the vault utility.

So got an email today on the "bug report" of not having a remove feature in the plasma-vault , it seems as though it's done now their was just a git-comit with the "fix/new feature" so it should soon land in our vaults .

Did he say how the deletion would be handled? He was most enthusiastic about using the Trash and its undelete feature.

The gov and bad guys always have a key if they want in. It’s called “Brass Knuckles”.

I think he is leaning more toured the approach in comment #3 in the bug report ,,,,,,,IE: having 2 options 1-Dismantel , just removing the entry in the app and leaving the data folders for the user to do with as they please and 2-Full delete , removing the entry from the app and a "permanently" delete all data.

but we will see shortly after the 18.04 goes release.

--- Comment #12 from Ivan Čukić <ivan.cukic@kde.org> ---
It will be a part of the release after the LTS. Didn't want to add new features
in this one - just polish and bug fixes.

so their we go

Right. And I don't see the release "fixed" in 5.12 either.

nor do I ...

VINNY

[vinnywright]

But that's not really a satisfactory answer is it? Just a temporary work-around.

yes ,,,a temporary work around .

the Developer is (supposedly) working on it for a possible release with 18.04 ,,,,or soon thereafter.

it seems he originally did not consider that people may want to remove/test their vaults
