Hi folks at gpg4win!
First of all I want to say how much I like your work!! I’m a windows user and tried a couple of programs which should provide me with a GUI for PGP encryption a year or two ago, but none of them convinced me. I think gpg4win can do so! The best thing for me was the tutorial which I think is really, really great!!
Ok, now some constructive stuff 
I don’t know whether I’m addressing those bug reports/suggestions to the right place, but I’m sure you can forward it there 
I’m using a 120 dpi resolution on my two computers. Unfortunately I had to experience that PGPee is completely unusable on both of them because parts of the GUI are “outside” of the window where I can’t reach them. It works fine when I change the resolution, but that can’t be a solution.
I had to experience another bug: Whatever I typed in in the search field for the keyserver in GPA, I had that windows error message box which told me that there was a problem with gpa.exe and it had to be closed. I’m using Windows XP SP 2 and most current patches.
GPA opens a console window in the background which I can’t close without closing GPA itself. This is “only” a superficiall thing but very ugly and unsupportable for most users that are used to “nice” GUIs (imo).
Now a less important suggestion: I think it would be really usefull if GPA would save the position and size of the last window.
If you need any more information, don’t hesitate to ask!

I found a little misspelling in the advanced tutorial on site 46, 4th paragraph:
“[…], keuzen Sie einfach die entsprechenden […]”

I just realized that GPA crashes however I try to interact with a keyserver (search a public key, publish my own public one…)
In general: You may feed bug reports dircetly
into the bugtracker.
I am not sure what 120dpi acutally means. What is the size of your screen in pixels?
GPA Problem: What gpg4win version did you tried?
(next week 0.8.0 will appear which solves
a number of gpa bugs, perhaps you try that
one again and report if the problem still persists).
I filed bugs for your two suggestions on gpa.
Best

Thanks, I just fixed it in SVN.
Can you retry with gpg4win 0.8.0 once
it is released?
Hi!
The version I am using is 0.7.0 and I’ll definitely try the following version as soon as it is released
I don’t precicely know what DPI means technically. But what it does is it sets the size of objects on the screen in inches (not in pixels). I’m using this because I’ve a 1400x1050 resolution on a quite small screen, so in 120 DPI, the fonts, windows, menus are in a comfortably readable size.
You can find the settings on Windows XP by rightclicking on the desktop, then, Properties>Settings>Advanced>General>DPI setting.
If you need more information, you’re welcome to ask me

DPI = Dots per Inch
DPI is a resolution.
1400x1050 is not a resolution, it is the size
in pixels.
Does Windows somehow allow you to find out
the size of the screen with your selected
resolution?
Hi!
I just uploaded a screenshot on my page so you can see what I meant:
http://ingomueller.net/temp/screenshot.jpg
The window is 377 pixels high and 562 pixels wide, but, as I’m using 120 DPI, not all the content is displayed.
My screen has a resulution of 120 dpi, is 1050 pixels or 21,5cm high and 1400 pixels or 28,5 cm wide.
I hope I got everything right, that time, otherwise keep asking

hm, perhaps Timo might have an idea.
Hi folks!
Here are my experiences with the new version 0.8.0:
I can use PGA to communicate with the server now! I was also able to delete a couple of keys with WinPT. Before, I realized that it only crashed occasionally in the previous version when deleting a key. I’ll report as soon as I experience the bug again.
All other bugs are still there, unfortunately (120-dpi in gpgee, console window in pga as well as storing position, winpt only interacts with one server). If you want to report back, let me know.
