Error message

Encrypted notebooks do not support this operation

What it means

Returned by importSY (import.go:309) as Conf.Language(313) = "Encrypted notebooks do not support this operation" when the resolved target notebook is encrypted (IsEncryptedBox(boxID)) and the archive contains a storage/riff directory (flashcard data). Flashcard import into encrypted notebooks is disabled because the riff storage layout and key handling for encrypted boxes do not support merging imported decks.

Solutions

1. Import into a non-encrypted notebook, or remove the storage/riff folder from the archive before importing into an encrypted target (accepting that flashcard data will be lost).
2. If flashcards are required on an encrypted notebook, recreate them in the target after import via the flashcard UI.
3. On the client, detect an encrypted target plus a storage/riff payload and warn the user before upload.

encryptedTarget := IsEncryptedBox(boxID)
storageRiffDir := filepath.Join(unzipRootPath, "storage", "riff")
if encryptedTarget && gulu.File.IsExist(storageRiffDir) {
    return errors.New(Conf.Language(313))
}

// importBlockedByEncryption reports whether an encrypted target cannot accept the archive's riff dir.
func importBlockedByEncryption(boxID, unzipRoot string) bool {
    return IsEncryptedBox(boxID) &&
        gulu.File.IsExist(filepath.Join(unzipRoot, "storage", "riff"))
}

err := model.ImportSY(zipPath, boxID, toPath)
if err != nil && err.Error() == Conf.Language(313) {
    // either pick a non-encrypted notebook, or drop storage/riff from the archive
}

When it happens

Trigger: POST /api/import/importSY (or importSYAuto resolving to an encrypted target) where the .sy.zip was exported from a notebook that had flashcards. The archive carries storage/riff, and the chosen target is an encrypted notebook.

Common situations: User exports a notebook with flashcards and imports it into an encrypted notebook; default notebook on the device is encrypted; policy requires encryption but the source had unencrypted flashcards.
