Bit of confusion with the instructions. #17

Closed DaveKap closed 6 years ago

"Enter your 30-digit password at the prompt (with or without spaces, doesn't matter)."

At the very least, on Windows 7's command prompt, due to the "XML > " forwarding of the command, there is no prompt for a password as the prompt is being sent to the file!

Also this means that "Password: " is at the start of the xml file, possibly corrupting the backup file altogether. I'm not sure this forwarding command is the best way to output when the script is sending prompts into it that the user misses out on seeing.

Are you running the release version or building from source?

This was mentioned in #13 and (hopefully) fixed in master already. I was planning to push a new release after #16 was fixed, but it may be worth pushing a new version anyway.

I was using the release version. Good to know it's already fixed.

Released v0.1.5 with this fix.
