problem with genearting key file on linux terminal

[Exmantion]

hi, i wanted to generate key file using linux terminal with specific key length, so i typed

encryptcli --generate-key --key-file-length 128 key_file.key

but terminal says  --key-file-length is not recognizable, even after coping it from help page. i also tried to put it everywhere in command, but nothing helped,

is it a bug or something, running EncryptPad 0.4.0.4

libencryptmsg 0.1.0.1

thanks

Hi Exmanation,

I've checked the parameter and there is indeed a bug. There is extra "--" which shouldn't be there because its added again by the library parsing parameters:

https://github.com/evpo/EncryptPad/blob/master/src/cli/main.cpp#L339

You can invoke the command as below:

encryptcli --generate-key ----key-file-length 128 key_file.key

It's going to be fixed in the next release. I raised an issue below:

https://github.com/evpo/EncryptPad/issues/83

Thanks for reporting it.

Cheers,
Evgeny
