I do think this would be a useful feature. Some properties I'd find
useful:
- Use symmetric encryption
- Be able to recognize if an entry is encrypted
- Leave the headline of the entry alone and only encrypt
the text below it and the subtree, if present
- Support something like a CRYPT tag, leading to automatic
encryption when the file is saved, to make sure
encrypted entries are never saved in clear text.
- Use only a single password per file, so once one entry is decrypted,
others will open without an additional password prompt.
Something like this.
- Carsten
