|
|
I'm using XFCE and went to "configure custom action" - menu trying to use gpg: Code: | gpg -a --detach-sign %N |
but no windows is popping up asking me for a signature (pass-phrase). It works from a command line:
gpg -a --detach-sign file_name
In addition when I right click on gpg sign file there is a menu "Open with gpg" and "Open with gpg2"
but clicking on any of them is not doing anything.
Does anybody know if these entries can be customized or see how they look?

Greetings,
I haven't used XFCE for quite some time (Using LXDE over OpenBox currently), but as far as menu configuration goes, is there an option to run it in a new and/or it's own terminal? I think that would be the way you would want to go with that.

No, the XFCE "configure custom action" menu doesn't have any option to start terminal. |

Then how about using something like this:
Code: | xterm -e gpg -a --detach-sign %N |

Good suggestion.
I've tried various combination but nothing works.
I don't have xterm but terminal.
terminal |gpg -a --detach-sign ds.pdf
works form command line but not from XFCE "configure custom action"
Even simple "gpg" does not produce any output. |

Okay...
Having just done a combing of XFCE's docs (which seem to need a *LOT* of help. ), I think this *should* work for you:
Code: | terminal -x gpg -a --detach-sign %N |
And if that doesn't get it, try changing the "-x" to "-e".
