File not decrypted after unhiding
Now i have all the jpeg as *bin file
Kindly provide a method to decrypt it.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Your files are stored as encrypted .bin files by the app. To recover them, the app must have access to the original encryption key.

Please check the following:

1. Make sure you are using the same device where the files were hidden.
2. Reinstall the app and use the same PIN/password.
3. Ensure the .bin files are placed back in their original folder (do not rename them).
4. Open the app and try the “unhide” option.

Important:
If the app data was cleared, or the app was uninstalled and reinstalled without backup, the encryption key may have been lost. In that case, the files cannot be decrypted.

Please confirm:

• Did you clear app data or uninstall the app before this issue?
• Are you using the same device?
• Do you remember your password?

Based on your response, I’ll guide you further.

1. Using same device
2. Done
3. Done
4. Tried but still not decrypted

• Didn't clear app data or uninstalled
• Using same device
• Remember my password

I hide the files and it was encrypted and when i unhide it it didn't decrypt. File was sent to my download folder with .bin extension

Now, I'm stuck.. i tried to rehide and re-unhide but it didn't work

From your description, it’s possible that the file was initially encrypted using the default encryption key generated by the app, and later a custom encryption key was set. In such cases, previously encrypted files may not decrypt correctly with the new key.

Could you please confirm if this is what happened?

Also, I’ll review the code and investigate this further to check if there’s any bug or unexpected behavior.

In the meantime, it would help if you could share a bit more detail:

• Does this issue occur with all files or only specific ones?
• When did you change the encryption key (before or after hiding the files)?

This information will help me identify the root cause more accurately.
