Gpg4win is a community version and we may or may not apply Authenticode signatures. You can do that yourself, after having checked our OpenPGP release signature. You may however be interested in GnuPG Desktop, which comes with full support and also Authenticode signature.

secring.gpg is only used by unsupported legacy versions of GnuPG. Since 2.1 it is not anymore used.

So if I have \MyDirectory\pubring.pgp and MyDirectory\secring.pgp files, how do I use the --homedir option to access those?

This is not really what the issue here is talking about. This issue was about "merging" multiple keyrings into a single view. If I understand you correctly you want to have matching pubrings and secret key directories for different applications. That is fully covered and what many users do by setting GNUPGHOME through the environment, the --homedir option or the windows registry.

Did anything get implemented to handle this? We have a central network file share where we store our public and secret key rings. We have several different applications that access these key rings. I'm trying to convert one of them from using gpg.exe via the command line with the --keyring and --secret-keyring paramters to using gpgme, but I don't see a way to specify the keyrings. Any help would be appreciated.
