In summary you could say yes but I wanted to simplify the process for the not-so-techy person. I will work on a Standalone app that simplifies the command and shows a nice GUI for more private documents

I hope you don’t take the comment you’re responding to as anything negative. I’m a software engineer and I would use this myself rather than try and remember some arcane command line utility.

Make it a bash script! I have all kinds of scripts for things I don't want to remember in my ~/bin.

Not at all, I'm actually quite happy with all the comments, ideas and feedback I've received on this, really encourages me to keep improving the project
