PGP Encryption script about scripts HOT 12 CLOSED

btw, the encrypted notes are having this text duplicated (begin/end encrypted text)

from scripts.

Can you please post the output from the debug settings (see issue template).
And is there any useful log output if you enable the log panel (see Window / Panels)? Please make sure you also enable debug logging in the log panel (by right-clicking on the panel and and selecting Debug in Options).

Decrypt notes only when you click the button to do so

Currently it's part of the Note scripting api to try to decrypt the note by default and when the current note is changed the NoteApi will be updated... I'm not sure what will happen in the long run if I remove the decryption part. We'll see...

the way the encryption system with the encryptionHook works is that there will be an attempt made to decrypt a note (with the currently used password, but this script doesn't use that password). If the attempt was successful

20.8.7

• the note scripting api will now not attempt to automatically decrypt a note in the background because
  this would happen every time the current note changes

from scripts.

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

Sorry for the delay.

Yes, the new update now only decrypts the note when requested, much better!

Text added to an encrypted note with AES-256 encryption (bold) is being accumulated with that generated by openpgp (italic).

I don't know if this was the previous behavior, but editing when editing an encrypted note and then switching to another note without saving the previous one can result in data loss. Saving the note before going to another note solves this. video here

thank you for testing

that's ok, the first BEGIN/END is from QOwnNotes to mark an encrypted note, the 2nd is from pgp itself.

I'll look into that.

Can you please post the saving issue to https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/

done. thanks for the support

is it possible to use pgp keys with passphrase protection ? Works well on windows but on Linux, it prompts for password but decryption ad encryption did not happen.

from scripts.

I haven't found a good way to do that... Maybe you can use some external tool to send the password string or use a PGP daemon.
