The problem with full-device encryption is that once you log in, everything is
accessible to people who have access to your system.

Vaults are meant to be smaller containers that should be open for as short as
possible. When you switch to another activity, this implies you stopped working
on the project you worked on in the previous activity, and the vault
automatically closes to minimize the time it is kept open. Having to manually
close a vault is problematic for forgetful users (myself included).

If it is not possible to close it (an application is using it), you get a
notification with an option to kill the applications and forcefully close the
vault.

Automatic closing will also be implemented for when the screen locker is
started, and similar situations.


As far as the recent documents are concerned, the files belonging to a vault
will not be tracked in future at all (like the "Baloo" issue). We do not have
the infrastructure to have distributed databases for usage statistics and text
indexing to allow "chunks" of the database to be stored in a separate file
located in an encrypted directory.
