PSEUDO TASUKI  Is there anything similar to this application which is compatible with gpg2?  
(Version 1.2.2)

ANONYMOUS  A nice front end to GPG which is very much needed considering the arrogance & greed of pgp corp.  
(Version 1.2)

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.

MOOFISTO  From the Gpg Tools FAQ

http://www.tomsci.com/gpgtools/FAQ.html#opensource

"Why isn't Gpg Tools open source?"

"Briefly, because this was a spare-time hobby program, which wasn't intended for a wider audience. Now it has been released I understand the viewpoint that since Gpg Tools' source code isn't available, the application can't be trusted. If you really want the source contact me and we can possibly work something out."

Caveat Downloader, I guess.  
(Version 1.1.8)

MACMANX  Functional and works as advertised. GUI is simple and easy to understand. Prefs are available through GPG command line and GPGPreferences. This app merely simplifies GPG functionality for the end user and does a good job at it too.  
(Version 1.1.8)

ANONYMOUS  Crashes constantly. GUI is ugly as all hell. No prefs to speak of. This is just a hack on the gpg commandline stuff, nothing new or unique.   
(Version 1.1.8)

WOLF  Essential in these days of paranoia ;)

You need to know what you are doing when you install, as it's more complicated than a simple click. Worth the effort.
