Allow key file of online EncFS volumes to be stored locally about cryptonite HOT 8 CLOSED

This would be very handy as for extra security I store the EncFS key on the local disk instead of the EncFS volume.

See http://webdiary.com/2011/11/25/dropsec/ for details of how this works on a Mac.

Update: This will require issue #22 to be addressed first so that we can store the .encfs6.xml location to the database. Otherwise, choosing both the volume and the key location every time the volume is decrypted will be very tedious.

Fixed in 0.7.0, available from https://code.google.com/p/cryptonite/downloads/list . If a config file (.encfs6.xml) can't be found in the root folder of an EncFS volume, the program will ask you for an alternative location. Once decrypted, you can save this volume along with the config file location as your default setting.

Thank you for this. I just tested this and it works wonderfully well. I have now excluded the .encfs.xml file from dropbox. This is perfect!
