Cryptkeeper in your Indicator Applet
I like the Indicator Applet and I like Cryptkeeper, so I decided to create an indicator for Cryptkeeper:
For anyone who doesn’t know, Cryptkeeper is a very useful application that allows you to mount/unmount an encrypted folder with just one click. It’s one of the most useful applications running on my startup. But up until now it had a quite ugly icon:
Can you spot the difference?
This is actually a plot to make people to like it and finish it. The patch adds support for showing and letting you mount/unmount folders, but it doesn’t let you delete folders or view information, as it did. Also, when adding a new folder, it doesn’t show up on the list if you don’t restart Cryptkeeper. But the patch does what I wanted it to (I rarely create or delete an encrypted folder), so I probably won’t change it further.
So, the patch is here. Have fun 
Great!
Cryptkeeper is really a great application but it’s icons and visual integration were always horrible.
Thanks for this!
Sadly, upstream doesn’t want to implement indicator applet :’(
So… many… icons…
Although, what is the point of having such panel and not use it?
Well. Nice work.
How do I enable App Indicator support? I tried:
patch -p0 < 0001-Added-basic-support-for-appindicator.patch
./configure –enable-appindicator=yes
make
make install
But Cryptkeeper is still in the system tray, not in the app indicator applet.
What am I missing?
Keep in mind that you’re using the same icon as PolicyKit when an authorization is granted. This may not be a huge problem, as the PK indicator isn’t present very often.
