Simple GUI

[dashohoxha]

Is it possible to create a simple GUI on top of egpg, like this one: https://github.com/guelfoweb/easygpg ?

I think that it should be possible to customize Linux desktops (LXDE, XFCE, GNOME, KDE, etc.) to add key-combinations (shortcuts) or context-menus, to run some command on a selected file. This could be useful for the commands egpg seal, egpg open, egpg sign, egpg verify, etc. But I have no idea how to do this.

Yup, it's possible to built a GUI on egpg.

And yes we can add context-menus on selected file, which can then be passed along to a script via sys arguments. In case of GNOME based DE we have g-scripts that let's us do exactly that.

@sourabhtk37 you can have a look at g-scripts if you wish. There are already some encryption scripts for nautilus, but they are a bit old and maybe need to be updated.

[sourabhtk37]

Alright. I'll read up on what exists and what can be done.

Nautilus script for enc-dec. It's pretty old.

Another one which is more updated and official is Seahorse-nautilus.

I created some nautilus-scripts for egpg in the gsoc tasks. If you are interested we can keep it in the ideas list and can proceed after GUI. (After GSoC)
