Yorkie - A task-oriented GnuPG frontend |
|
|
|
======================================= |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description |
|
|
|
----------- |
|
|
|
Yorkie is a GTK3-based, task-oriented graphical frontend for |
|
|
|
[GnuPG](https://gnupg.org/). “Task-oriented” means that, when it is |
|
|
|
called, the frontend performs a single task (e.g., encrypting a file), |
|
|
|
then quits. Therefore Yorkie is not a replacement for long-running |
|
|
|
frontends such as [GPA](https://gnupg.org/software/gpa/). The intended |
|
|
|
use for Yorkie is to be called from the context menu of a graphical file |
|
|
|
manager, to perform cryptographic operations on files. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The frontend gets its name from *yorkie* (symbol *yki*), a fruit fly |
|
|
|
gene coding for a transcriptional co-activator that is a part of the |
|
|
|
Hippo signaling pathway. |

|
------- |
|
|
|
Yorkie depends on the following libraries: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [libgpgme](https://gnupg.org/gpgme.html), to perform all cryptographic |
|
|
|
operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [GTK3](https://gtk.org/) (and underlying libraries such as GLib), for |
|
|
|
the graphical user interface. |
