OpenPGP twice in services menu

Reported by Alex (via GPGTools) | August 5th, 2011 @ 12:27 AM

GPGServices: clean install on Lion OpenGPG: * twice for text (workaround: disable for files)

Version: 1.6

Steps that will reproduce the problem?
1. Install GPGServices on OS X Lion (clean installation or old GPGServices already installed)
2. Enable the OpenPGP services for files
3. Open an OpenPGP/Inline encrypted message in Mail.app
4. Select the text and invoke the "OpenPGP:decrypt" services menu

What is the expected result?
You should not be able to select the OpenPGP service menu since we've not selected a file.

What happens instead?
Decryption fails silently (something about incomplete input data).

Possible workaround:
Disable the OpenPGP services for files and enable the services for text.

Any additional information:
The user should get some more feedback if s.th. fails.

Sounds like a problem with Mail.app to me. Can you send me a message where this bug appears?

(I'm not sure if it's fixable, though. The appearance of the menu item for decrypting files means that Mail.app says "I have a file for you, take a look")

Can't reproduce it on my machine but I've seen it with my own eyes ;)

When I was playing around with localizing GPGServices menu items text, I noticed that there are duplicated menu item names for the following:

"OpenPGP: Sign" for sign and signFile "OpenPGP: Encrypt" for encrypt and encryptFile "OpenPGP: Decrypt" for decrypt and decryptFile

The duplication makes it impossible to localize specifically for each operation (e.g., it cannot be "OpenPGP: Sign the Selection" and "OpenPGP: Sign the File" for sign and signFile, resp.).

It also explains how multiple, identically titled service options can appear if an app describes a selection with multiple possible NSSendTypes. I confirm this in TextMate, for example, if you open a new document, type "/tmp/sample.txt", and highlight it; the Services menu will have both sets of OpenPGP items, with "OpenPGP: Decrypt" (among others) duplicated.

Now one more weirdness, why isn't "OpenPGP: Encrypt" duplicated?

I think that is explained because decryptFile takes one more SendType than encryptFile:

encryptFile: NSFileNamesPboardType
decryptFile: NSFileNamesPboardType, public.plain-text
