No, it is indeed dangerous.
kgpg produced an error, saying "decryption failed", but left a decrypted copy of the file in the directory. This is dangerous: the user thinks his data is still kept secret, but it is not. It is open. A thief stealing the disk would be able to read the secret file.
This is a kgpg bug.
Nobody is arguing that it isn't a bug. The user asked for a decrypted file. The user got one.
Sending them to that monstrously large and bloated EMACs which does NOT create a file (which is what the user asked for) is counter productive.
Using a 16 Inch Naval Battleship Gun to swat a fly, and then MISSING the target completely.
You don't like emacs? Me neither. Then find us some tool other that deciphers a text file in *memory*. I found none. So, I swallow my dislike of emacs and use it. The alternative is windows. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
