A dialog will +open allowing you to select any recipients. At the bottom of the dialog +you also have to option to choose a key to sign the text with (Default +is None). +</p><p> +When you press Ok, a few things can happen. If you haven't selected any +recipients a new dialog will open asking you if you want to use a +symmetric cipher. If you choose yes you will be asked for a passphrase +that will be used to encrypt the text.</p><p> +What happens when you have selected one or more recipients, or entered +a passphrase for a symmetric cipher, depends on whether any text was +selected. If you have selected text, <b>only</b> the selected text will +be encrypted, otherwise the whole file will be encrypted.<br> +Of course, if you have chosen to sign the text as well, you will first +be asked for the passphrase of the selected private key. +</p><p> +<h5>Signing without encrypting</h5> +To sign some text without also encrypting it, choose Sign from the menu. +You will be asked which private key you want to use and to enter the +passphrase for that key.<br> +Like when encrypting the text, if you have selected anything, only the +selected text will be signed. Otherwise the whole file will be signed. +</p><p> +<h5>Decrypting and Verifying</h5> +To decrypt a file or verify an inline signature just select the GPG +code and choose Decrypt / Verify from the menu. When decrypting you +will of course be asked to enter a passphrase. +</p><p> +<h5>Verifying detached signatures</h5> +To verify a detached signature choose the last option from the menu. A +dialog will open where you can select a .sig or .asc file with a +detached signature. +</p><p> +<h4>Development</h4> +You can checkout the current source code from the Subversion repository +at Sourceforge.net.<br><br> +Get the code from:<br> +<tt>svn checkout +http://geany-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany-plugins/trunk/geany-p... +</tt><br><br> +If you want to create a patch, please respect the license of GeanyPG as +well as intellectual property of third parties.
