So does anyone know of a good way to save custompropertyset information in a data file separate from the app itself in such a way that it would require something akin to a password to get to it even within Rev? I may be overlooking something painfully obvious, but I just can't think of anything.

I don't think you are overlooking anything obvious.


I really appreciate any suggestions at all. Thanks!

I read somewhere that the Rev password mechanism uses an encryption scheme that only works with text. I wonder why? Anyways I guess that's why it skips custom properties but encrypts scripts. Does it encrypt custom properties that are textual? I guess it would *have to* to otherwise fld text properties and control script properties would not get encrypted at all.


Couple of ideas

* If Rev does encrypt custom properties that are textual, then you could use base64encode()and base64decode() to convert binary custom properties into textual ones.

or

* Mark Brownell has written a Blowfish encryption engine in transcript. You could use blowfish to encrypt the entire data stack, instead of using Rev's password scheme.
