Changing ``encrypt`` to a different value will not encrypt or decrypt your journal file, it merely says whether or not your journal `is` encrypted. Hence manually changing this option will most likely result in your journal file being impossible to load.

Windows Usage
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A couple of tips to get jrnl working better on Windows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The configuration file is typically found at ``C:\Users\[Your Username\.jrnl_conf``. This is just a text file and so can be edited in a text editor (but don't use Notepad, it will mess with the line endings).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For editing entries, Notepad will technically work, but doesn't play nice with line endings. A good alternative is `Notepad++ <http://notepad-plus-plus.org/>`_. To set Notepad++ as your editor, edit the jrnl config file (``.jrnl_conf``) like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
"editor": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe -multiInst",
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The double backslashes are needed so jrnl can read the file path correctly. The ``-multiInst`` option will cause jrnl to open its own Notepad++ windows. When you're done editing an entry in Notepad++, save the file and close the Notepad++ window for jrnl to know you're done editing and record your changes.

Known Issues
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The Windows shell prior to Windows 7 has issues with unicode encoding. If you want to use non-ascii characters, change the codepage with ``chcp 1252`` before using `jrnl` (Thanks to Yves Pouplard for solving this!)
|
||||||
|
- _jrnl_ relies on the `PyCrypto` package to encrypt journals, which has some known problems with installing on Windows and within virtual environments.
