Hi,
I noticed that the contents of read-only Notes in WEPIM are overwritten with new contents after syncing over Wifi (that is, if you have accidentally changed the contents of a Note in AEPIM).
As such the read-only function is not a guarantee that note contents will never change by accident.
Any improvement to this situation is welcome, since the current behaviour can have serious consequences for some users.
Also, it would be nice to have an indication in AEPIM of what is/isn't read-only on the WEPIM side. For example, if implementing read-only functionality in AEPIM is not realistic on a short term.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
