GeanyPG

About

GeanyPG is a plugin for Geany that allows the user to encrypt, decrypt and verify signatures with GnuPG.

Usage

After installed successfully, load the plugin in Geany's plugin manager and a new menu item in the Tools menu will appear.

If any text is selected, only the selected text will be encrypted/ signed/decrypted. When encrypting a message you can choose to sign at the same time. If a passphrase is needed, the GPGME library will decide how the user is prompted. Usually this will use gpg-agent. If gpg-agent is disabled, pinentry (see man 1 pinentry) will be used.

Development

You can checkout the current source code from the Subversion repository at Sourceforge.net. Get the code from:

svn checkout http://geany-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany-plugins/trunk/geany-plugins/geanypg

If you want to create a patch, please respect the license of GeanyPG as well as intellectual property of third parties. Patches that should be included to the default distribution must be licensed under the same conditions as GeanyPG by the copyright owner (GPL2+).

Known issues

At the moment, the use of pinentry is only supported on unix-like systems. On Windows gpg-agent has to be used.
