Release fo EncryptTiddler Plugin (now with password confirmation)

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hey!

It's been a long time.

I'm publishing this here because I think it is of the interest of many.

After a lot of time and several requests, the encrypt tiddler plugin asks you for password confirmation before encrypting your valuable information.

Thanks to kedorlaomer who pushed this further with his/her PR. 

After merging his PR I added some cosmetic improvements, made a code overhaul and re-published it

The code is 100% backwards compatible.

If yo have suggestions, requests or reports, please do them on the plugin repository, not here:

https://github.com/danielo515/TW5-EncryptTiddlerPlugin

The plugin is available here:

Regards!

BE WARE, after installing, you have to delete the old plugin!! as the naming is changed form

$:/plugins/danielo/encryptTiddler to

Hi Danielo,

Welcome back and many thanks for updating this wonderful tool!

Minor comment: I just notes that when you encrypt the tiddler the icon (lock) does not change from open to close!

Danielo,

 Does it make sense to prevent an encrypted shadow tiddler from deleting?

 If an encrypted shadow tiddler is deleted, TW will restore a decrypted one! For example encrypt $:/ControlPanel save and reload

 then delete the encrypted $:/ControlPanel save and reload

I do see the changelog:

Thanks. I don't plan to spend much time here, but I wanted to keep the community up to date

Yes. It is a known topic, and it is intentional. There is a GH issue to track it down, feel free to comment there. The thing is that, in my mind when I created the plugin, you should be able to "hide" if a plugin is encrypted by changing the title and even the content, so nobody can notice that such tiddler is encrypted as first look. If I change the padlock based on that, then this is no longer true. But probably it doesn't make any sense and the most natural thing is to represent the encrypted status on the padlock...

If I gather enough feedback on the issue I'll change that.

IMO it doesn't make any sense to encrypt a shadow tiddler in the first place, they are required to the proper function of tiddlywiki. But even if tw restores a decrypted version of it, it will restore the default version, which is public content anyway.

Oh, you mean the tiddler that is open with the changelog. Thanks, I'll fix that
