Is Devon Sync still supported? (November 12, 2011, 10:48:40 AM) quote  
Is Devon Sync still supported?

If so - I have an issue....

Running on Lion, first there is the Lion "feature" of the missing /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Keychain Scripting.app

I've installed redsweater's Usable Keychain Scripting.app in it's place and this seems to work.

However, I cannot mount the remote volume with afp. It appears to be a problem with the url format. My password includes a "@" character, which is not being escaped when the url is formed. I don't know if this is a fault of the Keychain Scripting.app or of DevonSync.

The current version of DevonSync is supported but as you've seen it is not 100% Lion compatible. I'm glad you found a work around to the keychain access issue, which is the only known incompatibility currently. Ultimately we plan to change to blowfish as a result. Until then we'd been recommending not saving passwords.

Regarding "@" in the password, unfortunately there's no way we are aware of to escape it. I can only recommend you change it. Characters not to include in passwords include :/@?'".

Hi!
Would it be possible to know when this bug will be fixed? I am not able to understand the "Redsweater" procedure...
Thanks anyway!

Can you please clarify what you mean by the "redsweater" procedure? Thanks.

The first message of this post is mentioning "I've installed redsweater's Usable Keychain Scripting.app in it's place and this seems to work".

ah, doh. We haven't tried that. but it seems reasonable that it would be a usable work-around -- it essentially replaces a missing component on Lion -- scripting access to the keychain.

You can read about it and download it here:

www.red-sweater.com/blog/2035/usable-keychain-scripting-for-lion

(When we update DevonSync we intend to replace reliance on the system keychain altogether, as I mentioned, with blowfish.) I can't give a fixed timeline, but it is coming.

Today we released DevonSync 1.5 which now completely replaces the keychain with blowfish encryption. It also is signed for Gatekeeper on Mountain Lion.
