Hi Thomas, What about storing your entire secring on a removable drive and simply pointing gpg to that drive when you need to. If you're using more than one computer I would assume there might be some times when others have access to that machine so maybe storing your private key on a machine might not be the best practice. A removable drive might be the answer for you. To answer your question, I've not gotten my workflow quite down yet either. It's been about 10 years since I last had to use encryption technology and even then it was on a single, secure, machine that I had near total control over and there were protocols in place for accessing it. So I'm coming at this, essentially, as a new user. Right now, once a day, I export my entire secring to a thumb drive and then import it to my other computers. This seems to have worked for the most part, though there have been a few glitches. I'm still in the market for something better but that is what works for me at the moment.
