It can be anything as long as it is read-only. I. e. we could allow notes t=
o=20
be just anything, as long as we don't save it/modify it. This should be=20
possible to do via KParts.

This is a bit complicated. As we shouldn't store path to icon, we could to =
one=20
of the following:
=2D - store name of KDE icon, hoping that it will still be present after ic=
on=20
theme change/moving to another computer
=2D - have some predefined icons installed with KnowIt; that makes it less=
=20
flexible but more portable

Do you want to have read-only toggle per note? Or read-only mode, just to=20
browse notes?

=46ile-based encryption should be fairly easy to do, assuming that KPGP is=
=20
properly configured. Doing per-note encryption may be harder, but maybe it =
is=20
also possible via KWallet or KPGP - I have to check it.
