rage helper

[chesslogic8]

here is a .sh file, zero restrictions, use it copy it modify its all good.

https://github.com/starmoon8/rage-helper the sh file just takes a single file name, then prompts for a password, and bam rage app does the rest. The script is neat; it uses rage to encrypt, deletes the original, and replaces the original with an encrypted file. It can easily be changed to use a different extension or whatever when encrypting or decrypting. That is not the point. The point is to allow rage app to be used easily — the ONLY command you need to encrypt or decrypt is the file name and the sh file, and rage takes care of the rest. It is very easy to make variants of the .sh file to suit your goals, leave both the original and encrypted file there, rename or do not rename, or simulate encrypting in place. Key files can be used with the sh file if wanted. It's all about making rage super user-friendly — just pass the file name to a script that is so easy a whale could use it :)

Also, if rage ever used Reed–Solomon error correction to auto self-heal, that would be awesome. Something like picocrypt does. NOT having to enter commands to heal the file if it gets bit rot is best. Reed–Solomon can just self-heal upon decryption and give a message so the user knows. So, uploading something to the cloud for years, then trying to decrypt it, even if the cloud got bir rot in the file, it might still self-heal...that is truly awesome. If Rage used Reed–Solomon or similar for data integrity, it would be awesome !!
