Decrypt read-only text selections
Reported by Alex (via GPGTools) | June 30th, 2011 @ 12:59 PM | in 1.8 (closed)
When selecting text within a read-only window (e.g. in Google Mail web interface) it might be nice to be able to decrypt it anyway. The decrypted result should be written to the clip board or a text file on the desktop for example.

I'm not sure how to implement this the best way.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to check if the service-invoking application accepts text as a result from the service. It's most likely only possible to implement this using a new Service Menu Entry called "Decrypt and show result".

Yes, why not. I've web mailer, Mail.app w/o GPGMail (MIME and inline mails) and files on read-only volumes in my mind.

Mh, I don't see it after I installed the latest version from nightly.gpgtools.org

This vanished from released versions, though the-kenny had implemented it with the following:
https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGServices/commit/1907e86
I've rescued his functionality from that commit with the following changes:
- the new service menu items are titled:
OpenPGP: Sign Selection to New Window
OpenPGP: Encrypt Selection to New Window
OpenPGP: Decrypt Selection to New Window- to avoid cluttering the service menu in general, the new service menu items are only active for three applications:
com.apple.Safari
com.google.Chrome
org.mozilla.firefox- did not rescue the localization, since ServicesMenu.strings has changed since then (I put in a de version, but identical to en though I inserted the former version as comments)

changes sound smart.

concerning the localizations: http://gpgtools.lighthouseapp.com/projects/67607-gpgservices/ticket... If only a few bits of german are missing I can help with that.
-
browsers: please add opera, chromium and camino are some other sizable browsers I can think of.
I wish we could get this fixed. Using the GPGS across the web / webmail would be very useful.

C Fraire May 23rd, 2012 @ 09:29 PM
OK, I added opera, chromium, and camino bundle ids to the list.
Steve, there are actually 80 localizations needed for GPGServices; so getting some Transifex would be cool.

Woot. I thought it was less. Ok, let's wait for Mento. I notified him, so if he has some time he might take care of that.

Tender discussion #1595 was about Firefox support for Gmail. Forum thread was closed with hint to this bug. Now this bug was closed, yet my issue persists, even with latest nightly installed: "no support to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify text sections from within Firefox, e.g. for Gmail". Should I open another bug or support thread or subscribe to another bug?

Olav, no this is the right ticket. Your feedback is very important and I'm reopening the ticket. If you need gmail and browser encryption very desperately feel free to try chromium http://www.freesmug.org/chromium which is already supported. We've to look at the details why FF is currently not willing to work as well.

FF has this option in Menubar -> Firefox -> Services -> OpenPGP: ... but not via right-click options.

OK, thanks. I confirm that it does work once one sets the key shortcut bindings to ones that don't conflict with existing ones. Those in FX are hardcoded and can be modified using an AddOn: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/. I rather modified those of the text services. But the handling withlout having context menu entries is difficult. Especially because the Service descriptions are truncated so that one doesn't know what the difference between "Decrypt" and "Decrypt ..." is.

Don't ask me, why mozilla does not have the service entries via right-click (imo, the best way to access those options). In chromium (and I guess Safari?) that works very nice. About the confusing entries: we have a separate ticket for that: http://gpgtools.lighthouseapp.com/projects/67607/tickets/140-make-m...
