oogiem 0 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I've got a note that is encrypted. I decrypted it on the desktop and then tried to print it. Nothing happens.I can print normal notes with no problems. Is there some limitation on printing nots that have been encrypted?
engberg 89 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 You should be able to print the note, but the encrypted region will show as the "encryption" graphic/button ... the only way to print the encrypted content would be to decrypt it permanently. (After which you could re-encrypt.)
oogiem 0 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Why such a stupid restriction? Once the note is decrypted why can't I just print a copy?This make absolutely no sense to me.
Level 5 jbenson2 2,150 Posted March 5, 2010 Level 5 Posted March 5, 2010 Certainly not a stupid restriction to me. I think the safeguard is a positive benefit. Information is encrypted for a reason. As soon as you go to another note, the information is automatically encrypted again. And if I want to print some sensitive information that is encrypted, I want to have a few hurdles to jump over. I don't want it to be so easy that the information is treated like normal text.
oogiem 0 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 What you see as "a few hurdles" I see as overly restrictive. I've already decrypted the note. Once that happens, until I move to a new note or switch applications I should have full access to that data.
