Workflow for decrypting files #14

Closed mroberts1 closed 2 years ago

mroberts1 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I installed the plugin and set up the Encrypt and Decrypt modals with the same password.

However, when I close and reopen the vault, the test file that I encrypted in there is not accessible and it isn't clear how to enter the password to decrypt it. Cmd-P simply gives the Encrypt/Decrypt modals from the original setup.

How do I decrypt files that I've encrypted using this plugin? Where do I enter the password?

hi, thanks for your question. this plugin encrypts and decrypts the entire vault at once. so when you enter a password into the encrypt modal, you are encrypting your entire vault. when you enter a password into the decrypt modal, you are decrypting the entire vault. please see the README for more, thanks. if you're still having trouble please feel free to re-open this issue.
