Preference pane won't open
After installing the latest Nightly, GPGPreferences-34n.dmg, using OSX 10.8.2, I can't open the GPG preferences. I get a dialog stating To use the "GPGPreferences" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen. Clicking OK in this dialog causes Preferences to relaunch and then immediately redisplay the dialog. Multiple clicks of OK result in an infinite loop of this occurrence. I have tried running the uninstall app before installing, running OnyX cleanup scripts, and restarting, all without success.

Hi Norman,
that's very unusual. Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
we'll have a closer look at it the next days and will report back.

Norman,
I tried to reproduce this on my machine, but the latest nightly is running just fine.
Could you please visit our nightly builds and download the latest GPGTools_Installer-XXn.dmg file.
Run that on your system and see if the problem persists.
All the best,
steve

Reinstalled the latest. Same behavior.
More detail. First pulled the preference from Preferences under my login, then checked Preferences under my wife's login to make sure it was gone there. Then downloaded and installed GPGTools_Installer-84n.dmg. Then restarted the computer. Then logged in as myself and clicked on the GPG preference icon. Same behavior as before.

Hi I have the same issue on the latest nightly, I didn't install the whole package because i dont require email encryption but I need to change the encryption preference from binary (.gpg) to ascii.
Is there a way to do this through the terminal?
Step by step please I don't have a lot of experience with terminal.

Hi I uninstalled GPG Preferences (the nightly version) and installed GPG Preferences 0.9.2 instead, performed a restart and it is working.
My main issue stays the same though as i descovered there is no option to change the encryption method to ASCii ????

Hi. I tried this too, and it worked. To summarize: GPG Preferences 0.9.2 works, whereas the "nightly" doesn't.

Any chance you use ASCii instead of binary?

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. When I look at my messages using a web browser, the encrypted parts show up as nonsense characters. I don't know whether the encoding is ASCII, UTF8, UTF16, or something else.

Hi thanks anyway.
I'm in the process of learning how to do this........hopefully i get results.
ASCii is more of a universal format and technically i'm talking about Armored ASCii.

I meant to reply that yours sounds like binary as a binary file doesn't resemble normal characters like ascii does.

Hey all,
we've squashed the bug leading to this nasty behavior. Please visit our nightly builds and download the latest GPGTools_Installer-XXn.dmg file.
Run that on your system and see if the problem persists.
All the best,
steve

This is good news but I'm confused as to what your flow chart looks like???? Does this installer install the ML Package or within the installer does it fix the ML Package or is it just the nightly build???

John,
for GPGPreferences, please simply install GPGPreferences-XXn.dmg from https://nightly.gpgtools.org
To answer your other questions, the nightly builds are simply builds which are generated each time we push source code changes to github. On each source code change push, also the nightly GPGTools-Installer is built, which includes all other tools, exactly: GPGServices, GPGPreferences, GPG Keychain Access, GPGMail (10.6, 10.7) & MacGPG2.
GPGMail for Mountain Lion not included and so completely unrelated from the nightlies.
And one ? is plenty.
