New Version of EasyGPG Is Coming Soon

This is only important to users of Tails.

The most recent version of Tails removes all support for FreeDesktop.org Desktop files. This is a problem for EasyGPG because, beginning with version 4.0, EasyGPG has used Desktop files for almost everything.

** Until the new version is published**, here is what you should do. Install nemo. Nemo is the default graphical file manager for the Cinnamon DE. It supports FreeDesktop.org Desktop files. To install nemo type this into a terminal window.

sudo apt update
This reads all of the Tails repos. Then type this.
sudo apt install nemo
This installs Nemo. Be sure to mark nemo to be installed every time you start Tails.

Nemo will be the second item in the Accessories sub-menu of the Applications menu labeled "Files." Using Nemo, no other workarounds for Tails will be necessary. I will publish a new version of EasyGPG in the near future that will work with Tails much more like the way it works with other distros.
