Confusing description t2i2t

Nice addition! But I think the description is a bit confusing.
First of all, what's the difference between drives and volumes?
Secondly, how can you encrypt already encrypted items?

make encrypted both...and encrypted.

MIght want to take look 4p3x5i

You my wish to view the documentation for the app, as PortableApps only makes portable the app but the original app documentation is best place to read and review and find out information.

drive is whole harddrive. 1w2q

drive is whole harddrive. volume is an old word meaning folder. basically a volume refers to content rather than the physical drive it is on

The language has been adjusted to hopefully make it more understandable.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks, but why repeating the word? 346p43

I suggest just:

...allowing you to both encrypt full physical drives and/or logical volumes (i.e. folders).

The "i.e. folders" assumes the previous comments were correct.

Incorrect 11303s

A volume is a file you create that can then be mounted as a drive letter on a given computer and used as any other drive. Hence the name logical volume. It's a volume that exists logically but it is not a physical drive itself (like your hard drive or flash drive is). A volume is not a folder.
