Cipher and algorithm
What cipher and algorithm are used with encrypting symmetrically? For example, when encrypting symmetrically from the command line, I use:
gpg -c -z 9 --require-secmem --cipher-algo AES256 --s2k-cipher-algo AES256 --s2k-digest-algo SHA512 --digest-algo SHA512 --s2k-mode 3 --s2k-count 65000000 --compress-algo BZIP2 --bzip2-compress-level 9 FILETOENCRYPT
What does GPGTools use when "Encrypt with Password" is ticked? Thanks!

Replying to myself, I am going to assume it uses whatever it is on

Hi David,
you are right. The options set in gpg.conf are used.
