What I did next was to locate the gpg.conf file in AppData in my profile (I am running Windows7 X64). Here I found a text part where it looked like one could add a group specification. So I went ahead and added this line: group developers = 0xDBC3175B 0x9209B308 0x8A51A0EE Then I saved this edit of the conf file. Next I went to the GPA backend configuration and found that what I had written after the group marker was now visible in the configuration box. Fine so far.... >And will the group now appear in my public key list when I want to >encrypt to someone?? No it will not... If I use GPA to encrypt a file, what happens is exactly like before, I get the unwieldy (not even sorted by name) list of recipients public keys to select from and nowhere at all is there any sight of my developers group! :-( So there seems to be no way in GPA to actually select the group for encryption! This means that groups are unusable with GPA at least. Is there some other application that can be used to encrypt a file with GPG which actually works in Windows 7 X64 and also shows the group? (I have had to manually edit the registry to even get a right-click entry to choose GPA when a file is selected in Windows Explorer, before that there was no way one could encrypt the file). Finally, is it possible to have more than one group in GPG? If so what is the syntax in the conf file? Can there be more than one line starting with group? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
