Issue with --show and colon character

[philsmd]

I think you are mixing up the outfile (--outfile or short -o) with the hashcat.potfile. The former will change whenever you use --outfile-autohex-disable, but for the latter the --outfile-autohex-disable will change nothing and the output should still be in $HEX[].

Therefore, I think you used the outfile (-o) instead of the .potfile, because the .potfile should always "encode" the passwords with colons.
