Org-crypt encrypting PROPERTIES?

Org-crypt encrypting PROPERTIES?

[Daniel E. Doherty]

I am trying to use org-crypt to encrypt certain headings, but when I invoke
org-crypt-entry on an entry with properties, it encrypts the properties as
well.  From the manual, "Org-crypt will encrypt the text of an entry, but not
the headline, or properties" it would appear that its not supposed to do that.

It causes a problem if the file is synced with org-caldav, which adds an UID
property if one does not exist.  To it, an encrypted entry always looks like
the property does not exist, so it always adds a new one, resulting in a
series of nested encryptions.  I can recover the original only by decrypting,
deleting the PROPERTIES drawer, and repeating until the clear text appears.

For example, with this entry:

=========================================================================
* Test this with Crypt
:PROPERTIES:
:JUNK: Nothing
:END:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,
quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse
cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non
proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

=========================================================================

After I run org-encrypt-entry on the headline, I get this:

=========================================================================
* Test this with Crypt

Notice that the property drawer got encrypted.  Am I reading the manual right,
that this should not happen?

   I can confirm this (tried in org 8.3.0 many months ago). For me, org-mobile-push and pull were adding properties every time. I'd love a resolution too.

Thanks

I gave up on this and pulled all encrypted entries out of my normal
agenda/notes files and put them in a separate file which doesn't get
exported.  I couldn't read them on my mobile devices in any case :-Q.
