SilverWolf's Digital Diary is a Personal Journal Program that uses a file-based relational database to store it's data resulting in astonishing performance when working with thousands of records....

Granted, this is Beta software, still it would be nice if I couldn't open a *.dia in Notepad and see my password in plain text.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to open your .dia on my screen too and see the password in plain text ;)

The reason for a password is to protect.
Anything that's on a computer connected to the internet is approachable, regardless what firewall you use (though a hardware firewall does make it a heck of a lot harder) and I bet you wouldn't want it to be readable in plain-text once that happens.

Now, on a more specific note, the software uses a file-based relational database.
This in itself might be another way to circumvent the password protection, but I haven't looked into the specifics yet.
Bottom line, I don't use this software to store any big secrets, and for the stuff that I'm using it for, it does what it promises to do very well.
