QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Oh, sorry! )))
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> I have in my notes folder a database from another application :))
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> I thought it was a database from QOwnNotes
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> notes.sqlite is from QOwnNotes, but there are no notes there. just trash information and tags
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Maybe we should add to the database a table that will store the master password?
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Or just create a .ini file
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> If .ini exists, then ask user for master password
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> something like this
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> QON works best if all notes are in plain text files. If you start to encrypt all your notes with QON you loose for exampe portablility
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> <!-- BEGIN ENCRYPTED TEXT --
hB7/tRwr7EgELYWIgnecUTfBLbeIWwvkaDPql/j6zh93DIw0mJYGYDlEfur3GlHm7gqfedd+Cv0cL6JO01nuUmLlkS3FWQwoEg2HC0O09F0JIPV06nlPkNC0ZOjOKx0mJRQfKEO+KzaWYBNG+w7h1Tteasa45hYrHXN7wQKEDStc2CH5wyY2ejeqc8Ca4XU9CIVvMedEcCj7GjZ2LEBZm8f37crWOFR0xXv9gqrX9dfAoeh3sA7vknMv/D5n0F4BGOHky/RhChHFTIz0zDtlmTG95IiWefLEP5M7FMByGi+yvSXGWW0X2ygi6YdiWzalWqMeSo/oK5Q4KWVwQMEiiQC9Qy1USja1hORTCSy2jIbUFJWf1CYUKgZCUbXCg5CIi/GAeRwocq

-- END ENCRYPTED TEXT -->It is a plain text format
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> So if you want to protect all your notes best encrypt your whole filesystem or your note folder.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> yes, but you can't search in it 😄 (re @flexx_ivan: <!-- BEGIN ENCRYPTED TEXT --
hB7/tRwr7EgELYWIgnecUTfBLbeIWwvkaDPql/j6zh93DIw0mJYGYDlEfur3GlHm7gqfedd+Cv0cL6JO01nuUmLlkS3FWQwoEg2HC0O09F0JIPV06nlPkNC0ZOjOKx0mJRQfKEO+KzaWYBNG+w7h1Tteasa45hYrHXN7wQKEDStc2CH5wyY2ejeqc8Ca4XU9CIVvMedEcCj7GjZ2LEBZm8f37crWOFR0xXv9gqrX9dfAoeh3sA7vknMv/D5n0F4BGOHky/RhChHFTIz0zDtlmTG95IiWefLEP5M7FMByGi+yvSXGWW0X2ygi6YdiWzalWqMeSo/oK5Q4KWVwQMEiiQC9Qy1USja1hORTCSy2jIbUFJWf1CYUKgZCUbXCg5CIi/GAeRwocq

QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> or do all kind of other tricks, like automatically re-link links to other notes or images or attachments, ..
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> I no need search at all :)) Maybe then warn the user that when encrypting all notes, the search is not available? (re @patbek: yes, but you can't search in it 😄)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> oh, yes... (re @patbek: or do all kind of other tricks, like automatically re-link links to other notes or images or attachments, ..)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> not good...
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> and you cannot use your notes in the cloud or on mobile devices
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> the encryption was meant to be a way to quickly be able to encrypt a note with too sensitive information (and pay the price with lost portablity and so on)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> the encryption was meant to be a way to quickly be able to encrypt a note with too sensitive information (and pay the price of lost portablity and so on)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Yeah, I see
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> thus the question is: from WHOM you need protection?
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> All notes stores in memory as I understand...
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> All notes stored in memory as I understand...
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> QOwnNotes reads all notes from the file system to a in-memory sqlite database.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Interesting
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> What if you decrypt all notes and store them in memory? Then the search and links will work. And when you close the application, encrypt and save them to disk. But only if the master password is set to the entire folder.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Not a very convenient solution. I am also a programmer. I would not like it if I was offered to add such functionality to the program :)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> I understand it
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> It would go against the grain of what QON is currently supposed to do. But you are free to play around with the source code of QON and see if you come up with a great solution.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> Qt C++
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Unfortunately, I don't know C++. I use Go, Python, PHP, JavaScript.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> What scripting language does QON support?
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> If you just want to use some external encryption that could handle one single master-password you can also do that in a script. See: http://docs.qownnotes.org/en/develop/scripting/README.html#encryptionhookBut you would need to press the "encrypt" button on every single note yourself.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> QON uses qml for that (JavaScript) (re @flexx_ivan: What scripting language does QON support?)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> ok
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> Very flexible settings. I was able to customize everything I need.
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> Thank you, it's great if you need a lot of functionality, portability or like tinkering. 😄 (re @flexx_ivan: BTW, thanks for the app! I tried many note taking apps. Only your application suited me.)
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> yeah!
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> But building QON yourself is pretty easy too: https://www.qownnotes.org/installation#building
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <flexx_ivan> 👍
QOwnNotes Bot [telegram] <patbek> That's a good solution. And you even could encrypt single notes with keybase with a script like https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/blob/develop/doc/scripting/encryption-keybase.qml (re @bendem: I store my sensitive notes in keybase's kbfs, even allows sharing E2E encrypted notes with others)
