   Hider 2.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   MacPaw has released version 2.1 of its [1]Hider app, which enables you
   to hide and encrypt private data on your Mac (see Nick Mediati's
   review, '[2]Hider 2 Promises File Privacy for the Masses,' 8 May 2014).
   The update restructures the vault database for improved handling of
   unforeseen interruptions, and adds advanced secure erase options added
   that make traces of hidden files unrecoverable. Hider 2.1 also adds the
   capability to select a custom primary vault location on your drive,
   improves workflow for external drives, adds a user interface state
   preservation, improves compatibility with FAT and ExFAT external
   drives, and adds drag-and-drop support for the Hider menu bar icon. A
   free 15-day trial is available at the MacPaw Web site, and Hider 2.1 is
   available to purchase via the [3]Mac App Store. ($19.99 new, free
   update, 5.7 MB, [4]release notes, 10.8+)
