Windows XP SP2 WinPT 1.2 GnuPG 1.4.6 Im using the hotkeys, Alt+Shift+I for sign and encrypt. I open the txt file, press Alt+Shift+I and WinPT pops up, I check the account I have created only for crypting files (4096 bit), WinPT asks for my password an a few second later it tells me its ready. BUT is ist NOT, the text is still there. I have already signed and encrypted some txt files this way. Why is it not working anymore? Please help.

To make sure I really understand the problem, you try to use the "current window" mode which pastes the encrypted data back in the window? Or do you use the clipboard? If you mean the latter, the text is *not* pasted back to the window but it's stored in the clipboard. So what's the problem here? i) The text is not encrypted ii) The encrypted text is not paste back to the window Timo From winpt at oliver-arp.de Sat Nov 3 20:21:49 2007 From: winpt at oliver-arp.de (Oliver Arp) Date: Sat, 03 Nov 2007 20:21:49 +0100 Subject: [Winpt-users] Cant Sign/Encrypt Notepad file In-Reply-To: <472CBB07.7070507@gmx.net> References: <472C903A.1080908@oliver-arp.de> <472CBB07.7070507@gmx.net> Message-ID: <472CCA4D.8070103@oliver-arp.de> Timo Schulz schrieb: > So what's the problem here? > i) The text is not encrypted Yes, not in notepad. > ii) The encrypted text is not paste back to the window Yes, I checked the clipboard, the encrypted text is in there. How can it be pasted into the open window? Notepad in this case. I checked that I used to encrypt "current window" and not clipboard.

Notepad in this case. > I checked that I used to encrypt "current window" and not clipboard. The problem with the current window code is, that it depends on "unstable" conditions. For example on same machines the code does not seem to work at all, on some machines there are windows which do not "allow" to paste the text back and sometimes it just does not work even if it should. On my machine I never encountered any problems but I heard from other users, who said the environment is equal or at least very similar and on there machines it does not work. Sometimes the current window loses the focus and then WinPT can't paste it back. You should try again or use the menu entry instead of the hot key. I'm sorry to say that this issue cannot be easily fixed because the feature relies on kind of a trick, which prevents that the functionality can be assured. :-( Timo
