ANONYMOUS I have just recently installed GPG 1.4.1 and some "cocoa front-end wrapper" programs, Gpg Tools being one of them, on my Mac running OS 10.4.2. I imported my PGP (v8.1) public and secret keyrings into GPG. My secret key passphrase contains high-ASCII characters -- characters such as (bullet) and umlauted vowels such as ö. My keyboard style is US, so these characters require the use of simultaneous option (or shift plus option) and a character key, and in the case of umlauts, option-u preceding desired vowel to be umlauted. Although I can successfully sign and decrypt files using Terminal's command line (cool to show off my faux unix abilities to friends and family), I am unable to sign or decrypt files using Gpg Tools. Only by changing my passphrase to something not using special characters such as umlauts, etc., am I able to use Gpg Tools to sign or decrypt files. Am I doing something wrong or stupid here? (And don't tell me "yes, you're using high-ASCII") I don't think it is wrong or stupid to include high-ASCII characters in passphrases -- command-line gpg supports it, and PGP 8.1 supports it). Setup/configuration issue? Or a shortcoming of Gpg Tools? If a shortcoming of the program, this is something that should really be fixed, considering that the underlying encryption/decryption engine properly interprets high-ASCII characters in Terminal's command line.
