Dear John,
thank you. I simply changed "read_only" to "crypt" in the functions you
developed. This functions prevent a change of encrypted text, which I think is
really an improvment.
===================
(defun org-mark-readonly ()
(interactive)
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(let* ((element (org-element-at-point))
(begin (org-element-property :begin element))
(end (org-element-property :end element)))
(add-text-properties begin (- end 1) '(read-only t))))
"crypt")
(message "Made readonly!"))
(defun org-remove-readonly ()
(interactive)
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(let* ((element (org-element-at-point))
(begin (org-element-property :begin element))
(end (org-element-property :end element))
(inhibit-read-only t))
(remove-text-properties begin (- end 1) '(read-only t))))
"crypt"))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-mark-readonly)
===================
Thus before I can use "org-decrypt-entry" I have to put the cursor under the
headline with the tag ":crypt:" and call "org-remove-readonly".
I S U G G E S T to put this into org-crypt and change the commands org-
decrypt-entry and org-encrypt-entry: Encrypted text shall be read-only, and
org-decrypt-entry removes this.
Sorry, I'm a user without knowledge of Lisp, unfortunately I can't do that
myself. But it would be a valuable improvement of org-crypt.
Regards,
Alexander
