Basic Info

I'm using Linux in version: Manjaro
DE: KDE Plasma 5.11.3
Kernel: 4.14

I'm running Cryptomator in version: 1.3.1

Description

I created a Cryptomator vault and tryed to work with / in it. But there are some problems, so that it is nearly unusable.

with dav:

Situation 1:
I simply want to copy a file into the vault using my default file manager, dolphin. It fails with this error message:
screenshot_20171124_133826
It means "Failed to write file. Not enough space."

At the bottom right, dolphin displays the free space. In the case of the Cryptomator vault, it says:
screenshot_20171124_134047
Translated: "Unknown size"

My current solution: I have to open a Terminal in the vault and use the cp command to copy file into the vault.
But that should not be a real 'solution'.

Situation 2:
Some applications don't support saving to the dav / webdav mountpoint. For example LibreOffice when I try to save a file with LibreOffice:
screenshot_20171124_133848

I can't even open a file from within the vault with LibreOffice:
screenshot_20171124_133959

My current solution: Copy the file outside of the vault, edit it there, and copy it back using the cp command.
Problem 1: not userfriendly
Problem 2: when the file is outside of the vault, it is unencrypted during editing

so I tryed webdav:

Back to Situation 1:
Copying files using dolphin now works. (Yey :D)
But I can't open the vault from within Cryptomator anymore. I have to copy the url and paste it in dolphin.

Back to Situation 2:
The problems with other apps still exist. Again, LibreOffice example, trying to save to the vault:
screenshot_20171124_134455

I guess it has something to do with the current mount system. Would it be possible, to mount the vault in a 'real' local folder? For example in "/home/myuser/CryptomatorVault/"? This is like for example cryfs is doing it and it works perfectly.
Maybe you ask now: Why aren't you using CryFS?
The problem with CryFS is: It creates too much small files. That takes much more time to sync with Dropbox, so I wanted to try out Cryptomator.
