Re: Rer: Decrypt problem on Windows solved

I get a user entered password and encrypt it before storing it. It works cross 
platform. I suppose it would depend on what is in the original string. For 
instance option-v produces a checkmark on a Mac, but NOT on a PC and I assume 
Linux. Normal ASCII-256 characters should work fine.

Could you try to textEncode the encrypted data before saving it in the
custom property, and then, in the other platform, textDecode it before
decrypting it?

Many thanks Panos, yes, that fixed the problem.

It never occurred to me that reading binary data from the custom properties of 
a stack should be treated with same caveat as downloading from an external 
source. Todays “learnings” (horrible newly fashionable word).
