Description

Have been using the mac app for a while and its been fine.

Noticed I now cannot see any files in my private encrypted area.

I would select the private area and receive a notification that the files had been decrypted and I would see my files in my private area.

I no longer get that notification that my files have been decrypted and no errors are shown, just the private directory remains empty.

I have found your prereleases in cases it has already been fixed, but the issue remains with vKeybase-1.0.24-20170606192044+249ad8e.

My fuse version is 3.58

Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by reviewing log reference d4e06daffc239eb6de51641c and reproducing the empty private directory on macOS Sierra with vKeybase-1.0.24-20170606192044+249ad8e and FUSE 3.58. Done means the private encrypted files are visible again and the decryption notification is shown.
