Hi folks,
So I timestamp everything I input into my (org-based) GTD system (except for inbox items, that I'm sure I will review soon anyway). Here's how I do it:
* Sample entry
<2012-01-15 Sun 00:52>
I have (org-insert-time-stamp nil t nil) bound to C-x C-y and I just insert it below the entry. This makes for a nice chronologic history of every data in the system.
However, I have a problem with encrypted entries. Of course, if I add it as part of the content to be encrypted, it will not appear as plain text, but i tried to do like this:
1) Create the entry:
* Sample Entry
2) Write its contents
3) Tag with :crypt:
* Sample Entry :crypt:
3) Save the buffer. The contents are now encrypted:
* Sample Entry :crypt:
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin)
hQEMA7MmqOB5vxnzAQgAy6tE4lj1uLMaAm8+dPL9N2LHxZsH+VWyiig6gY1rE0M0
Y1wDLDPYTIR+AUoSMGmU4S+9DZ9v4xoTBev4tjhtZIA9Lvw6aqf3Xlb2YGTJCCeq
...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
4) Add the timestamp *before* the --BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-- line:
* Sample Entry :crypt:
<2012-01-15 Sun 00:52>
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
...
5) Save again.
Expected: Encrypted message and timestamp to stay as is.
What happens: A new encrypted message is written, with the timestamp + the "old" encrypted message as part of it.
Any hints appreciated :)
