Comment 23 for bug 319423

not being a programmer, I wouldn't know how to implement this, secondly if
you read the thread, as far as 'the establishment' is concerned this
question and subject is closed,

I dumped rednotebook several years ago in favour of a program with native,
or built in password protection

thank you anyways

Subject: [Bug 319423] Re: Encryption

Quoting "simple password protection without encryption would be enough, I
mean I don't want my relatives to click the shortcut "diary" and open my
private files
I've come up with such a script, it creates password protected zip and
deletes data folder every time you close RedNotebook
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/.rednotebook
unzip data.zip
rednotebook
#change 'secretpassword' to password you would like to have
zip --password secretpassword -r data.zip data
#delete data folder
rm -rf data",

#thats a valid point for even for a weak encryption but if the
encryption is strong, no-one will complain.

#Should have a password & password recovery question or option for
security.
