Thanks for your work. I applied it to Gpgex.

Will do. Thank you very much.

Edit: The text below was wrong. The error given below only occurs when the combined path+filenmae is to long on windows.
An emoticon in a file below the folder to be encrypted does not hinder encryption via GpgEX.

Not sure yes If I rather fix this or do: T6331

Note to self after spending some time searching again for the documentation I saw previously about this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/context-menu-handlers#suppressing-verbs-and-controlling-visibility

Fixed in gpgex 1.0.8

Patch has been applied to Kleopatra. See T5619: Kleopatra does not create the UI-Server socket in the socketdir.

Okay.

Alternative patch for Kleopatra:

Not from understanding. libkleo adds high-level functionality that's useful for KDE applications, but out-of-scope for gpgme and its C++/Qt wrappers gpgme++ and qgpgme. I would use GpgME::dirInfo() directly in Kleopatra. It would make sense to add an overload of GpgME::dirInfo() that takes an enum, so that one does not have to use the low-level string names in Kleopatra. The downside is that a string-based interface can be extended easily. OTOH, deprecating values of a string-based interface is hard and after removing it the compiler won't complain.

We want to deprecate the whole UI-Server thing and thus I considered it better to provide the generic socket dir instead of adding support in libkleo for the uiserver socket. For the time being, doing this in Kleopatra sounds better to me. From my understanding. libkleo shall be an interface to gpgme++, right?

gpgme_get_dirinfo does already have support for "uiserver-socket" since about 7 years. I don't think a separate "socketdir" which requires a brand new gpgme makes much sense.

For Kleopatra this patch

It will be useful to have support in libkleo:

Thanks a lot.

Thanks Andre,

We have released 3.1.12 which updated all the GUI libraries Kleopatra uses and I got some feedback in related issues like T4689 that this might have helped.

I think this might be the issue with High DPI support problems. T4819 which is not yet released.

I see no reason to not allow decryption of an entire folder recursively. The user knows what they are doing by right-clicking a folder instead of a file. You can show a progress dialog with a cancel button.

Right. GpgEX is in serious need of polishing. I'm not sure if I'm in favor of processing all files recursively. But then the decrypt option should not even be shown.

3.1.11

Please let us know which version of Gpg4win you are using.

This should be normal priority as we continue to receive bug reports about UIServer and the usage in GpgEX of the UIServer protocol keeps us from removing it in Kleopatra.

I'll try to reproduce it.

We did not have more reports about this so I'm resolving it here.
