Foil Notes

What if you add these two lines to /usr/share/applications/harbour-foilnotes.desktop:

[X-Sailjail]
Sandboxing=Disabled

You can switch between encrypted and plaintext notes by swiping the main view left and right. Encrypted notes are on the left, plaintext notes on the right. To work with the encrypted notes, you will have to enter your password.

I guess you got confused because the app recently started to remember the last state of its main view. If you close it with the plaintext view active, next time it will open the plaintext view. That makes it more convenient to use the app merely as a replacement for Jolla Notes.

Version 1.0.26 should be installable. I submitted it to Jolla Store too, but it's still sitting in the queue there.

UPD. It's there

Same here: Chum is your friend if you want an armv7hl build linked against openssl1.1. There's nothing wrong with linking openssl1.0 or anything else statically if it's not part of the OS anymore.

If application appears in the list of available applications in My Backup, then you can assume that it has listed everything it needs to back up in its .desktop file, so you don't have to add anything manually.

Try the latest version and if the problem is still there, please create an issue at https://github.com/monich/harbour-foilnotes/issues

For some reason openrepos doesn't notify me of new comments, gitlab is more reliable in that (and not only that) respect.

And check if anything suspicious shows up at the console if you run harbour-foilnotes from the command line.

As the app description says, the encryption key is ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key and the key itself is additionally encrypted with your password (that's what ssh-keygen calls a passphrase). The password is not stored anywhere in plain text, you have to remember it.

Which device and OS version?

That's an easy thing to do, but unfortunately that bumps OS version requirement for 32-bit packages to 4.0.1 and I want to keep those packages available for earlier versions of Sailfish OS. I humbly asked Jolla Store guys to do something about it (i.e. support per-arch OS version requirements) but AFAICT the problem is still there.

64-bit rpm is going to be only on OpenRepos for the time being. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Here we go!

This might actually be helpful. Even though that issue describes decrypting Foil Pics files, the procedure would be exactly the same for Foil Notes or Foil Auth, since they all use the same encrypted file format.

And no, it's not supposed to auto-lock while the screen is on.

Here's why I did this in the first place. I have my "Automatic locking" setting set to "No delay", and display to sleep after 30 seconds. As a result, it I don't tap the screen when it gets dimmed, the phone gets locked and every time I unlock it I have to re-enter the Foil password. That was annoying.

Now this logic gives me 15 seconds to unlock the phone (e.g. by swiping a finger) before I have to re-enter my long and secure Foil password. That's what I was after.

Notes are now supposed to get auto-locked 15 seconds after the phone is auto-locked  (i.e. when you leave it unattended, the display is first dimmed then turns off, then after certain period of time the phone gets locked and then 15 seconds later notes are locked). In all other cases notes should still be locked immediately.
