Is there a GUI for TrueCrypt which enables mounting and dismounting quickly?

How about installing desktop command widget and using it to mounting/dismounting?

i've heard of a thing called 'wizard mounter' but never tried it.

honestly though the xterm command isn't really slow though =) you could even set up an alias to save typing.

for one of my encrytped containers i have a script that mounts the file (asking for the password of course) and then opens the file manager...then when i close the file manager it auto dismounts the container =)

xterm is fine. But a GUI would be faster

sure, heres what I did ( I am a linux newb so it may not be "correct" but it works )

first cd to /media and "mkdir xxx"

I created a script file in /usr/bin called xxx

it contained the following

Code:
/usr/bin/truecrypt --protect-hidden=no -k= /home/user/MyDocs/xxx.tc /media/xxx
ossofilemanager
/usr/bin/truecrypt --dismount /media/xxx
I then chmoded then file to a+x (chmod xxx a+x)

now i open xterm, type xxx and hit enter and it does everything zautomatically...you do not need to do the otherstuff again...just type xxx each time you want to mount it.

replace xxx with your own filename

NOTE: in the code above it looks like there are 4 lines, its actually just 3, "line 2" is part of the first line.


hope it helps.
