<p>unfortunately we haven't added that feature yet from what I can
see,<br>
but I could send you a version which allows you to set a preference
for the output format.<br>
Yet I wonder, what you're needing it for, so maybe we can find a
better solution.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/149831082012-04-03T10:28:21Z2012-04-03T10:28:21ZArmor/ASCII added to newest version?<div><p>Hi Luke,</p>
<p>I've installed the nightly build posted on this thread (<a href=
"http://support.gpgtools.org/discussions/everything/760-gpgtools-cannot-encrypt-text-using-textedit">http://support.gpgtools.org/discussions/everything/760-gpgtools-can...</a>),
but can't figure out how to set the preference for output
format.</p>
<p>I'd like to use ASCII instead because it's easier to paste PGP
messages into emails and private messages online then it is to send
an encrypted file.</p></div>semisaratag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/149831082012-04-03T13:25:42Z2012-04-03T13:26:29ZArmor/ASCII added to newest version?<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>I've just added an option to GPGServices to use ASCII armor for
single file encryption.<br>
If multiple files are encrypted the binary output is still used,
since ASCII doesn't make sense for a lot of files.</p>
<p><a href=
"http://nightly.gpgtools.org/GPGServices-trunk.dmg">http://nightly.gpgtools.org/GPGServices-trunk.dmg</a></p>
<p>You can enable ASCII armor using the Terminal.app</p>
<p>Type the following two commands:<br>
defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgservices UseASCIIOutput -bool
YES<br>
<br>
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs -flush<br>
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs<br></p>
<p>Unfortunately GPGServices doesn't immediately check the defaults
file again, due to some strange behaviour of OS X Services.<br>
The fastest way to force the change is to logout.<br>
Otherwise it should work if you wait for 3 to 5 minutes.</p>
<p>Hope that helps a little.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/149831082012-04-03T18:32:16Z2012-04-03T18:32:16ZArmor/ASCII added to newest version?<div><p>Hi Luke,</p>
<p>It works perfectly now, thank you! It would be good to give the
option for ASCII and binary in a future version.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p></div>semitribetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/149831082012-04-04T07:38:24Z2012-04-04T07:38:24ZArmor/ASCII added to newest version?<div><p>Great to hear!</p>
<p>We'll most likely add the option if we find some time, but
this<br>
was the quickest fix for now :)</p>
<p>Closing this discussion. Feel free to open a new one
anytime!</p></div>Luke Le
