Private key prompt at decryption #7

Hi,

It would be great if we could have a prompt for private key decryption when we need to decipher or sign some text... Is it possible with your GnuPG solution? For now, I have an error from 'gpg' telling me that no passwords are given...

I would also appreciate a "no selection" encryption method, that is, if no text is selected, then encryption / decryption / signature should occur on the entire current document. It would save a ctrl+A! What do you think about it?

Thanks!

I feel like adding a prompt for a private key would be relatively complicated. The no-selection encryption sounds like a great and fairly simple addition.

New version 0.5.0 released with no-selection meaning whole file/buffer.

I will look into the passphrase prompt.

I have test this in some other than Mac. In Mac I get box asking the passphrase from gpg-agent/MacGPG suite.

I'll clone this and try it on windows 7/ ubuntu.

I don't know is there any pinentry programs in Windows, but in Mac the MacGPG installs one and it is used for asking the passphrase. Also in Linux you can have it asking the passphrase when you launch gpg-agent with "--pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-x11".
