Hi folks!
I’m copying over a feature request from the Bear 2.4 release notes thread.
Request #1: Make it clear how to move your notes over to ADP
You should make these instructions about how to move existing notes over to ADP more clear for users. Right now, you suggested pinning/unpinning every note. I think that’s a rather hacky method. If that’s going to be the solution, then it should be documented. Ideally, there would be an option in the right-click menu that says “update these notes over to latest ADP format” (but with better wording that will make sense to non-technical users).
Request #2: Clarify which notes have been moved to the new ADP
I think users need 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.” ADP is mentioned in the release notes, but there’s no way for a user to determine whether they are getting that functionality.
These two together are a current “hole” in the system. Enough so that I’d actually call this a bug rather than a feature request. If a user sees the release notes and sees that ADP is now supported, they will likely think that all their notes are now end to end encrypted. There’s no user feedback to tell them otherwise. And this could be a big security risk if someone is counting on end to end encryption but never got the memo that they need to pin and unpin (or otherwise update) all their notes. And they have no way to check if it took effect since there’s no user feedback.
Thanks folks!
