I use syslog-ng. This happened to me again today (very annoying). I really
don't know what to do.

Re: Remove a recipient from a message without viewing it

For what it's worth, a few months ago, I decided to write a 
gpg-edit-recipients tool. I announced it on thi list (see 
http://www.mail-archive.com/gnupg-users@gnupg.org/msg13495.html).

My project is on standby because I haven't seen much interest in this 
tool, but if you are really interested, I guess it could be resurrected.

However, for your specific need, you don't even need such a tool, I 
think you may split your encrypted message with gpgsplit, and then 
concatenate the relevant packets together.


Cheers,

How can I drop a file for encryption on the GPA FileManager

2010-11-22 Thread Bo Berglund
I have now installed Gpg4Win 2.0.4 on a Win7X64 machine where I
previously had installed GnuPg 1.4.11. I first uninstalled GnuPG.

My problem now is how to actually encrypt files when the Explorer
pop-up menu is missing

It would be OK if there was a way to start the GPA FileManager with a
file path on the command line. Then I could add a manual entry in the
Registry that would invoke the proper exe file with the selected file
as the argument.

I hope that the File Manager would show up with my file in the list of
files to process.

But I need to know which executable to start and what command line
arguments to use.

Can someone please enlight me on this?

Good Luck with GPG4win, i cannot find any decent documentation on how to use! 
and get no reply's from the GPG4Win mailing lists either. You can't sign and 
encrypt a file at the same time either through the command line so i had to 
abort and go back to PGP. Really annoyed i waisted my time on this.

Found the solution by experimentation:
The GPA executable is gpa.exe (surprise!) in the GnuPG directory.
I also found that if I send it a file on the command line it opens up
the File Manager window rather than the key manager that is otherwise
shown.

So I have added the following to the registry to get a context menu
item when selecting a file, which opens the GPA file manager. From
there I can easily select the operation to be performed.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\GPA Manager]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\GPA Manager\command]
@="C:\\Programs\\GnuPG\\gpa.exe \"%1\""


As you can see I have installed Gpg4Win *outside* the Program Files
directory tree in order not to have Windows messing with my files.

Hope this helps other Win7X64 users'

I agree it is very strange because I too checked the checkboxes to
deposit the "Kompendium" but after installation it is nowhere to be
found!
I wonder why they make an installer that does not deposit the user
manual, especially if one checks that option in the setup screens

But I have used it many years so I don't need the manual right now
anyway.
The Gpg4Win website has an on-line version of the documentation, which
you might want to take a look at, though.

My problems here come from the fact taht Microsoft in its wisdom has
ruled that in Win7X64 no 32 bit plug-in will be allowed to the Windows
Explorer, not even when running the 32 bit version.

And the OpenSource people are really mostly interested in Linux
solutions so they will probably not be in a hurry to fix this.
That is why I embarked on my own search to solve the problem a bit.

I goto Start/All Programs/GPG4Win/GPA

In the app that opens, I choose files from the toolbar.

The next app's toolbar is self explanatory. you just browse to the file
you want to work with through the open button on the toolbar.

I can sign, encrypt, sign & encrypt, verify, decrypt all from the app's
toolbar.

I WAS WRONG!
I found that the installer creates 2 different start program folders,
one named "GNU Privacy Guard" (which is the one I looked into) and one
named "Gpg4win".
In the latter is a Documentation subfolder where you can find full and
extensive documentation! :-)

Sorry for this misinformation!

Kleopatra which installs with GPG4win supports "drag & drop" file operation.

I double click the icon in the systray, it brings up the Kleopatra
window, I then drag/drop the file I want to work with on to the window.
The appropriate dialog menu opens up upon mouse release.

You can't? It's documented near the top of gpg's man page :)

gpg -se -u 0xdecafbad -r 0xdecafbad -r 0xdeadbeef somefile.txt

Signs somefile.txt with 0xdecafbad and encrypts the result to both 0xdecafbad
and 0xdeadbeef
