Making SGPortable optional still creates the SGPortable folder on removable media

PBJ_Family

I have a removable media policy like this:

Media Encryption Mode: File based

General Settings

- Algorithm to be used for encryption: AES256

- Key to be used for encryption: Defined Key on list

- Defined key for encryption: <selected key>

File Based Settings

- Initial encryption of all files: Yes

- User may cancel initial encryption: Yes

- User is allowed to access unencrypted files: Yes

- User may decrypt files: Yes

- User may define a media passphrase for device: Yes

- Copy SafeGuard Portable to target: yes

- Plaintext Folder: <folder name>

- User is allowed to decide about encryption: Yes, remember user settings

It works as I want it to with one small issue, if the user opts not to encrypt the media an empty SGPortable folder is still created on the media.  Is this something I can fix or is this a software bug?

    Your observations regarding the DX_PLAIN.vol file is correct. If the policy setting to allow the user to decide about the encryption (and remember the setting) is configured , the user's decision about encrypting or not encrypting the media is saved in a file DX_ENCRYPTED.VOL or DX_PLAIN.VOL (depending on the user's choice).

    In my tests the policy was configured as described but as the user interaction was only described as "user opts not to encrypt"  the checkbox was unchecked.
