GPG Keychain Access - 0.7.0

Using version 0.7.0.1, the app imports public keys fine but fails to create any personal ones. It goes through the whole routine, gives me a 'Finish' button but then no key shows up in the list (and it is suspecially fast in generating).

(And I did install GnuPG 1.4.5 first ...)

all from me. This utility does what it says it does. The fact that all the GPG pieces aren't rolled up into one offering isn't the fault of the great folks that have collaborated to put together all the parts as a totally volunteer effort. Thanks to the author of this utility and his GPG developer colleagues!!!

start up (like 0.5). Never got it running with my keyring - only after removing my public keyring.

simple, efficient GUI to a complicated, powerful computing tool takes a lot of work and creativity. More work and creativity than many programmers are capable of. Those who bash the GUI are either full of themselves or are just plain ignorant about how people productively interface with machines. CLI's have their place, still, and I find it quite handy for certain operations, but by and large the GUI is the way to go for everyday use. I agree, Levon, the current state of public key crypto tools for OS X is *lame*!

even some Mac users mistakenly associate power with degree of difficulty (which is the same mistake the old proponents of DOS made long ago). Something onerous to use may be quite underpowered, just as something very intuitive and relatively easy to use may be very powerful. I make frequent use of the command line, (and it has its place), but like Levon River, I appreciate the efforts of developers who spare users the need to do their own compiling of source code (to say nothing of using a CLI). It's ironic that a developer who seeks to make life easier for users with a GUI would at the same time require them to make their own binaries.
