Following is a partial list of new features found in PGPClick version 3.0.  Some features apply only to the 32-bit version.

• Processing of disk files

  PGPClick can now encrypt and decrypt disk files directly, without first loading them onto the clipboard.  This allows processing of both binary files and files that are too large to fit on the clipboard.  Drag-and-Drop from the Windows Explorer/File Manager is also supported.

  
  
• Command Line Switches

  A PGP function (sign, encrypt, sign & encrypt, check signature, decrypt, and add key) along with a filename can be specified on the PGPClick command line when PGPClick is started.  The specified function will be performed on the given file.  When combined with the proper file associations, right-click context menu options can be added to Windows Explorer for these functions.

  
  
• Automatic closing of the PGP window

  The DOS window used to run PGP can now be automatically closed by PGPClick.  The last screenful of PGP output is saved,and will be displayed if PGP indicates an error occurred. This allows true "one-click" operation in most circumstances when used along with the Auto Copy & Paste feature.  32-bit version only.

  
  
• Secondary public keyring

  In addition to the primary public keyring (pubring.pgp or the one specified in PGP.INI/CONFIG.TXT), PGPClick allows a secondary public keyring to be created. This enhances the ability to manage large keyrings.  For example, the primary keyring can be kept small, containing only frequently used public keys. PGPClick can then be told to use this keyring for encrypting.  The secondary keyring can then be created and loaded with all of the public keys you have.  Then, use the secondary keyring for decrypting and checking signatures.  These settings can easily be overridden as needed.

  
  
• Use of alternate secret keys

  PGPClick is no longer restricted to signing only with the default secret key (either the last secret key added to your secret keyring or the one specified by the MyName parameter in PGP.INI/CONFIG.TXT).  Any secret key on your secret keyring can now be specified.  You can also use a different secret key for signing and for encrypting-to-self.

  
  
• Support for PGP 2.6.3a and 2.6.3ai

  These versions of PGP allow a list of User IDs to be specified using an external file.  PGPClick can now take advantage of this feature to keep long lists of multiple recipients from exceeding the DOS command line limit.

  
  
• Checking our keyring

  Support for the PGP -kc command to check your keyring has been added.

  
  
• Force display of the Key Information dialog

  Normally, PGPClick will not display the Key Information dialog if it does not need  to request either a Pass Phrase (eg., one has already been entered) or a UserID (e.g., when signing and decrypting).  If the shift key is held down when selecting a function, PGPClick will always display the dialog.  This allows over-riding PGP options or re-entering a mistyped Pass Phrase without needing to access the PGPClick properties.

  
  
• PGPClick does not report PGP errors (Windows NT)

  When the "Close PGP Window" option is set, PGPClick will automatically close the PGP DOS window.  If PGP  returned an error, then PGPClick will display the error.  Under Windows NT, the error is not passed on to PGPClick from PGP .  Therefore, PGPClick does not know when an error has occurred.  You can still select the "View Last Result" menu item (Clip menu) to see if an error occurred.

• Miscellaneous improvements:
  • Windows standard mouse and menu usage
  
  
  • PGPClick can ask for confirmation before exiting
  
  
  • Support for PGP pause option
  
  
  • Keyboard minimization of PGPClick toolbar
  
  
  • PGPClick menu names can be shortened if too long
  
  
  • All known bugs from prior versions are fixed
