Hey Brad,
is this in Mail.app?
Could you please visit http://nightly.gpgtools.org/ and download the latest GPGTools_Installer-trunk.dmg file.
Run that on your system and see if the problem persists.
All the best,
steve

Hey Brad & Jamerson,
let's continue here. Otherwise things would have gotten too complicated.
We just fixed a few bugs in GPG Keychain Access. Could you both please test the nightly build of GPG Keychain Access or the GPGTools_Installer build from here: https://nightly.gpgtools.org/
Let us know if that fixes your problem. Should your issue persist, could you please provide a link to the place where you found the key you want to paste into GPG Keychain Access? Or if it's not on the web, attach the pub key in a text file, so we can test and see if we can reproduce the problem.
Thanks and all the best :)

I'm having the same problem -- Code=0 error on importing this signing key from Torproject.org -- https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/osx/TorBrowser-2.2.37-2-.... I tried removing the .asc extension altogether and replacing it with .txt -- same result.

I meant to say I tried this as well with the nightly build referenced earlier in this thread. I'm using OSX Lion 10.7.4 on a Macbook Air.

Slightly different message but check to make sure you have a key server.
See http://support.gpgtools.org/discussions/everything/1671-sending-key...

Thanks, but I did have a keyserver set in preferences. Turned out the network I was using blocked ports.
But... I still don't know how to use GPG Tools to verify the signature on a file. Is there a URL for a how-to on that?

Its kind of a pain as I recall.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-verif...
Notice the follow up. You have to get the signatures and then you have to "trust" them.
I think I eventually (a few years ago) just gave up. I haven't tried recently.

Hi all,
let's try to solve this:
Two requirements have to be matched in this scenario:
After that to verify the signature of a file, simply right-click on the signature file (.sig or .asc extension)
and select Service -> OpenPGP: Verify signature of file
Let us know if that works.
