Feature Request: Password protected notes #382

Open Genefreak opened 3 years ago

Genefreak commented 3 years ago

This is my first comment on Github so apologies if it's not in the right format. Firstly...Awesome piece of software dude. It's taken me ages to find the perfect notebook for Linux and here it is! Running it as a flatpak on Linux Mint..... at the moment... but I'm a distrohopper so who knows!

Just wondering if it was possible to implement (at your convenience) a way of password protecting some notebooks or individual notes themselves... or if it's easier have a login or PIN system for the whole thing.

Take care!

My workaround for this was to mount an encrypted ZFS dataset to .local/share/notes-up and set the unmounted folder permissions to read only. That way if you forget to mount the dataset Notes-Up will crash and you'll hopefully remember why. :D

As a bonus you can also take snapshots have a historic view of your notebook. There is an script on the ZFS on Linux GitHub page that supposedly automates this but I haven't tried it yet.
