docs on recovering files that arent decrypting anymore

[natew]

for some reason some files no longer are being decrypted, they just look like the mess of characters. i have the original password, but not finding any directions for "recovering" them (on a couple scans). do those exist somewhere? if not, can i recover those files, it would save a lot of time!

Hi @natew this is probably too late to help you sorry, but if you haven't solved this problem yet can you try using the latest version of transcrypt? If this problem started all of a sudden it could be because your system updated to a newer version of OpenSSL (v3) which had changes that broke earlier versions (see #133).

As for the broader question of recovering files, the best option is to try manually running the openssl commands that transcrypt uses behind the scenes in the git_smudge() function. See my comments about running smudge commands here
