Re: Temporarily remember passphrase?
Thanks. I have gpg 1.4.11 on a Mac. I ended up using the `--multifile` option, without starting gpg-agent directly. It seems to do exactly what I want (presumably doing some caching in the background for me). One small issue, which I can't see from the man page: is there a way to specify the passphrase cache time? I was decrypting a large number of files ( 12,000), and about half way through I was asked for my passphrase again. I assume the cache had expired.

Yes you want to use gpg-agent. What OS are you on?
