Title: GPGtools issue's
Post by: pillowchalk on July 18, 2012, 06:10 am

   Hello, I have been using GPG tools for Macintosh rather successfully until a little while ago. Currently, I am able to import public keys from sellers page's just fine, it's only when I go to encrypt a message many of my contact's key's don't show up in the "Choose Recipients-GPGServices" box after I try to encrypt the selection. They simply can't be found. Is there another way I can go about encrypting with public keys without going to the Services/Encrypt selection drop down menu of my applications? Also are there any other PGP or GPG applications besides GPGtools for Macintosh? I have been looking but haven't had much luck.

Are there any keys listed in there at all or not?  Do they show up in GPG Keychain Access?  If not, what happens when you select View -> Refresh (Command-R)?

The only real alternative is GPG 1.4.x (currently 1.4.12), but it needs to be manually compiled.  It also doesn't bother with a GUI frontend, so if you need that then this isn't the option for you.

        Thanks everyone. I went and refreshed under view and that seemed to take care of it along with a fresh install. Not of a nightly build however. I noticed another user having the same issue.
