Feature Request: Crib Grid + Simple Transformations #2

Open brubsby opened 1 year ago

brubsby commented 1 year ago

I have a homomorphic 15x15 grid cipher I would like to solve that has a likely partially reused key. The reused key would solve about ~27 of the ~53 characters in the alphabet, but there is likely an unusual transposition happening, making solving the cipher difficult. I've tried some guesses at transpositions manually and then used the crib grid functionality, but being able to do both at once would be helpful. I can't seem to conjure up any way to do this with batch mode either.

I asked Jarl about this and here's his response:

I sort of addressed the request with "Substitution + crib grid" can now be used in junction with "Substitution + simple transposition". Have the pop-up windows of both solvers open and enable the "Use Substitution + crib grid" option in the Simple transposition solver window to have it work."

Awesome!! Give him my deepest thanks, I'm playing with it now and am extremely grateful! It seems to work as advertised, bar a crash that happens when I accidentally hit solve while already solving in this mode.

Thanks for the crash report. Jarl has fixed that bug for the next release.
