decode encrypted files from console

how to decode foilnotes encrypted files from console?

there should be possibility with other open source tools, i guess?

otherwise, may it be you can provide such a commanline tool?

You would need to use foilmsg tool like this:

foilmsg -d -f 0E5664D5957C7492 -s foil.key -P $PASSWORD

where 0E5664D5957C7492 is a file from ~/Documents/FoilNotes/ directory on the phone, foil.key is your encrypted RSA key (i.e. ~/.local/share/foil/foil.key from the phone) and PASSWORD environment variable contains your password. That would decrypt your note and dump it to stdout (there's also -o to save it to a file).

Real name of the encrypted file is randomly generated, yours would of course be different.

There was a similar question about FoilAuth

thank you for reply!

can i build this command 'foilmsg' without having jolla's proprietary classes in my system?

i'll try meanwhile.

The only external dependency is libglibutil, it's not that bad!
