🚀 Bear 2.4: Better encryption, auto todo sorting and pin within tags

[SquareGorilla81]

So very grateful for ADP being launched! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

(I agree, this should be highlighted more directly! You should be mentioning that E2EE is now possible!)

My question is about @matteo’s comment from the 2.4 beta thread:

@matteo

ADP will apply to all new notes, as well as any existing notes you edit. Attachments are already covered by ADP, so no worries there.

We don’t offer a built-in way to convert all old notes, but it’s easy to do if you want:
Just select your notes and make a small change, like toggling them to read-only and back, or pinning and unpinning, and they’ll sync under ADP.

That said, we don’t recommend doing this for everything, since syncing a lot of notes at once can take time. You can always just update the notes you care about most.

Also, keep in mind: that enabling ADP means you won’t be able to use the web version of Bear.

Request #1: I would very much like a way to determine whether notes are synced via ADP or synced the old way. My ideal solution to this would be a special search tag that would let me determine which notes have not been moved over to the new “ADP type.”

I did pin and unpin everything (and it did take a while to sync).

Request #2: You should make these instructions about how to move existing notes over to ADP more clear for users. If someone turns on ADP after using Bear for a while, they may be under the false impression that all their notes are now end-to-end encrypted (E2EE). ADP is mentioned in the release notes, but there’s no way for a user to determine whether they are getting that functionality.

Thank you!

EDIT: I moved these over to feature request / bug report
