Status: gpg not in this path #1

Using it on windows and the path points to bin folder of Gnupg which contains the executable. The plugin fails to detect the path

lajg-dev commented 6 months ago

Thanks for time your time and create this Issue, I tested in a windows machine using C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe as path, and it works for me, please give more details, the path that you used and a screenshot to fix the issue, thanks Screenshot 2024-03-03 at 10 28 00 AM

So that the problem that happened to you does not occur to more people, I have created release 1.0.5, where the operating system is automatically detected, and by default it places the corresponding path (According to the standard location, in case of configurations specific GnuPG would not apply and would have to be entered manually)

Mahaaveer commented 6 months ago

Thanks for the reply. The mistake was mine. i mistook it for path to the folder containing gpg.exe

i had " C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin " in the path. adding gpg.exe works

off-topic: the difference between this project and gpgcrypt seems to be additional base64 encode. is it to overcome obsidian's cache that shows decrypted text until we close the file?

lajg-dev commented 6 months ago

I'm glad this works for you, regarding the base64 issue, I did it to facilitate the live-preview of the "Secret" icon since this way the encrypted text is presented in a single line. This plugin differs from gpgcrypt in that gpgcrypt is based on encrypting the entire document whenever it is closed and decrypting it whenever it is opened. In the case of my plugin, it encrypts and decrypts on demand either in-line or block and does not decryption is forced every time the document is opened.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Closing this issue. keep up the good work.

Mahaaveer commented 6 months ago

An option to select the default encryption key in the settings page would be a nice enhancement.

lajg-dev commented 6 months ago

Thank you very much for the idea, the truth is that it would help a lot with the use of the plugin to have keys already selected by default, I have added this functionality in version 1.0.6 which is now available to update.

Mahaaveer commented 6 months ago

Thanks! Indeed it would help to have default keys selected, especially if you have more keys on your keyring
