timer on "never save history"

Open ajay-gh opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

general summary currently VC provides the user with the choice to either save the volume history (as long as the flag is set) or not. Since not saving the history makes daily operations somewhat more laborious, many user may do (probably ... like me) choose to save the history most of the time. This in turn reduces protection against unwanted identification of an encrypted volume.

Desired behavior

with a separate timer I suggest to erase volume history after some user defined amount of time. Me, personally I would keep the unmount timer at about 1 hour, and the new (history) timer at about 4 - 12 hours.

Additional information

if a user uses several encrypted volumes, one quiet often, others less frequently, this feature would also help hide all but the last volume in use,
