Hi all

I remember that TiddlyWiki classic had a plugin that would allow you to password protect an entire file, not just for saving but even for viewing. The password window came up first and after you added the password you could view and edit your file.

I have a couple files like that. I saw there is encryption for saving, and even for individual tiddlers. But I don't see anything like the plugin for classic. Does anyone know of anything? Is this someone is / will be / working on?

Hi Tony, I read that before I posted, but it read as if it only keeps others from saving, not viewing. I will try it out and see if it does what I want.

David,

Yes, you cant proceed without the password.

It still leaves something to be desired such as needing to reencrypt.

Regards
Tony
