Description: This installs a service menu for Konqueror that decrypts and extracts the contents of encrypted tarballs.
Once install, a "Decrypt and Extract Here" entry is added to the "Actions" context menu in Konqueror. This entry will only appear for the file extensions defined in the pgp-tarball-*.desktop files. The following extensions are defined:
Currently only gzip and bzip2 compressed tar archives are supported. If there is a demand, other compression types (e.g. zip, etc.) can be easily added. Simply email the author and make the request.
Additionally, this RPM will modify the kgpg.desktop file by adding "application/pgp-tarball-bz2" and "application/pgp-tarball-gz" to the MimeType field. This allows encrypted tar archives to be opened by KGpg (just like any other encrypted file would be).
Thank you and enjoy!
Alvin BeachLast changelog:
* Fri Mar 23 2007 Alvin Beach - Version 1.1-4 - Fixed bug. Encrypted tarballs with spaces in the filename would cause this service to abort. Spaces in filenames are now supported.
* Tue Mar 13 2007 Alvin Beach - Version 1.1-3 - Fix bug where multiple encrypted tarballs could not be decrypted at once. - Known Bug: When Kgpg is updated, the application connection is removed. Modifying may not be the best idea.
* Wed May 10 2006 Alvin Beach - Version 1.1-2 - Added --use-agent to gpg command. If gpg and/or gpg-agent are not configured properly, the user will not be prompted for the passphrase. The --use-agent switch seems to be a good workaround. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section in /usr/share/doc/decrypttarball/INSTALL for information on configuring gpg-agent. - Added pinentry to the RPMs dependency list. pinentry provides the interface for entering the passphrase.
* Mon May 08 2006 Alvin Beach - Version 1.1-1 - Added support for bzip2 compressed tarballs
* Sun May 07 2006 Alvin Beach - Version 1.0-2 - Added KGpg association. This allows the encrypted tarballs to be opened with KGpg. Without this, the "Open with" dialog box would appear.
* Sat May 06 2006 Alvin Beach - Version 1.0-1 - First version.
