Description

I was think that having password locked tags would very useful for sensitive documents and files. It does not need to be complex right now for the alpha, but would be awesome if in the future it had encryption and kept the file in a vault of some sort, it could be a great security feature.

But how would it work exactly in the program? I have three ideas how it would work:

  1. Have a password field on files. (Most simple, but also not that feature rich.)
  2. Add a option for tags to be password protected, and have one master password.
  3. Create a new type of tag that does not include a sub-tags field. Instead, this tag will have a unique password field required to unlock any files associated with it. Additionally, implement a master password that grants access to settings and acts as a master key that can unlock any password-protected tag. This new tag type can still be added as a sub-tag to other tags.

It could also just be a mix between all of them, but I would love to know your opinion on it!
