The development of this version has stopped. TrueMount 3 with more features and less bugs is in the works, please be patient and feel free to use and test this version!
TrueMount is an application written in C# 3, which is working as an additional tool for the encryption software TrueCrypt. The main task of TrueMount is to simplify users work at mounting encrypted volumes, such as harddisks (precisely: partitions) and container files. My main motivation to develop this tool was pure laziness 
In the past I plagued myself by going the snail trail: plug-in the device, call TrueCrypt, choose the partition and the mounting options and enter the password (you may simplify this a bit by using favorite volumes). Now, TrueMount does the whole work for me (and you, if you are familiar with this annoyance), it's very easy:
You choose one or more corresponding USB/Firewire/eS-ATA/SCSI devices from your hardware pool and set them as „key device“. Thus the device becomes the „key“ for the program, which waits in the background fo it being plugged-in. If the physical key is connected to the system, TrueMount analyzes the new device. If it turns out to be a „key device“, the application tries to mount all defined partitions and container files. The Password for each partition is located in a file, which can be on the „key device“ as well as on any other medium accessible by Windows. If you attach a new hard disk later while TrueMount is already running, it's recognized and mounted without any user interaction. For more information have a look at the Features.
Due to the rapid development speed the screenshots may not be always up to date!

Attention: this versions are still in
beta/test stadium, crashes are possible although I've tested and fixed many scenarios. If you find bugs, please report them over
mail or comments.
Because of the rapid development the configuration files can be incompatible with newer program versions! After an update you may have to delete and redo your configuration settings! If you notice any strange behavior open settings and hit the big red magic button! It will fix all errors but flushes your existing configuration. I'm sorry but backwards compatibility would delay the development heavily 
Stable versions are not affected!
Currently no Beta version available.

All versions newer than 2.4.7.29 are available via the included automatic update service. Enable automatic updates to receive the latest versions without opening a browser!
Tests and feedback are welcomed
Every version older than 2.2.4.23 uses the free object-database db4objects by Versant. The required assemblies are included in the archive/setup.
If you update from a previous version you may have to delete the file called config.yap located in the applications working directory. Do so if you notice any strange behavior after an update. Please note, that all versions below this warning use the old db4o storage technology, they are no more supported!
