Upon trying to decrypt any encrypted file on my mac using your tools i now get

Failed decrypting "example file.gpg"

"example file.gpg" - Decrypt failed! (No agent running) Code = 77

Have tried uninstall and resinstall of application with no success.
Able to decrypt using same keys on windows machine.

    Hi Carl,

    can you please copy all version info as described here into this discussion.

    Make sure you do have OSX 10.10.2 installed.

    Then could you please download and install our latest nightly build and restart your system. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download.

    Let me know if the problem persists after all those steps.

    All the best, steve

    10.10.2 installed.

    Nightly build now installed and system restarted.

    Problem still exists. Same error upon trying to decrypt any file.

    Encrypting still works. Decrypting on a different computer using the same keys, works.

    Resolved via live-chat. There where strange entires in the gpg-agent.conf file. Removing those resolved the problem.
