Is there a nice GnuPG/PGP front-end for Ubuntu? There used to be a package called something like seahorse-plugin, that let you right-click on files to encrypt them. I don't see it anymore in the software repository though. Is there something else?

In Ubuntu 12.04 the package is called seahorse-nautilus.

  • I'm on 11.10 currently, and that doesn't exist. Did they remove it for one release?? May 23, 2012 at 18:51

    Yes, according to packages.ubuntu.com/… I guess because of the transition to Gnome3 the plugin wasn't available/working in time for 11.10 May 23, 2012 at 19:09

If you're encrypting using keys, pyrite is not as quick to use for files as the slick nautilus plugins, but you can check it out anyway.

PS: I'm the developer. Pyrite's a fully-functional gtk frontend for gpg/gpg2; just needs some nice icons/graphics and to be packaged up proper-like.
