-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 This is an incomplete list, but what I like about GPGShell is the following:
GPA does not work for me--it just crashes. GPGShell has a number of components: GPGTools for encrypting/decrypting files, GPGKeys which is the keymanager to which GPA is most closely related, and most importantly, GPGTray which is a tool which sits in the system tray and allows me to call any of the other programs, encrypt/decrypt a file or the clipboard, sign/verify the clipboard, all using right clicks. This allows me to compose my emails in GMail or the like, and then convert them into ASCII- armored text. The actual GPGKeys portion of the program is extremely customizable, in that it has good graphical access to many, if not most, of the GPG command set, and for "expert" options, it allows the launch of the edit key in DOS and has an input box where one can place the options that should be run in the command line when GPG launches (such as "bzip2-compress-level 9"). It allows for easier setting of options for GPG as well. The author has told me that he is not intending at this point to write a version for GPG2.0, however, so those interested in using ECC when it gets folded in to the main release will need to find another "GPG manager" to use. GPAs inability to run on Win7 machines sort-of takes it out of the running for now, I'm afraid :) I understand part of the issue is that the entire configuration mechanism of GPG2 is different than GPG1, and that, currently, GPG2 cannot be loaded "portably" as it were, but I believe Werner was gracious enough to say he would look into making GPG2 more portable in future releases. I am neither a programmer nor a software tester, so forgive me if I did not explain clearly enough, but in a nutshell, I have found that I can easily do anything I need to GPG-wise (clean/minimize keys, Lsign, encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify, make any customization to option sets, hash selections, encryption methods) easily in GPGShell, and I have not found another GUI (WinPT, GPA, Etc.) which could do everything as easily and completely.
