But keeping one's passwords and related administrivia safe, preventing unencrypted versions/tempfiles from accidentally being captured by running backups, etc. is hardly a rare use case. pwsafe (referring to the nox11 version) is a fine program but comes up a bit short if you want to include notes that are more than a brief comment, or what you want to save is not password/account-related. That's really all I was describing. On Thu, Dec 25, 2014 at 11:07 PM, Theo de Raadt <dera...@cvs.openbsd.org> wrote: > So you describe something which is shit.

That's an honest question. Short of encrypting a partition, most tools (gpg, etc.) require decrypting a file to plain text and then reencrypting. I was just trying to avoid having to create unencrypted temporary/intermediate/recovery copies of files as part of the editing process. Can I ask what kind of plant are you?
