KPgp?

Right click to encrypt works here in my Yakkety Yak set up. I'll have to try in a Xenial VM later to test that.

EDIT: might be kleopatra that you need to install do that.

Apologies for ignoring this thread for so long --- that problem was with my vacation-property laptop and I'm back home now, not using it.

But... last night I had my Muon Update Manager take my home desktop machine's 14.04 to 16.04. To my delight everything went smoothly and even applications I thought I'd have to reinstall opened perfectly. The problem with Kgpg continues, though. I have it in the systray and it loads at boot (I check using KSysGuard to make sure it's running). Like the laptop, I can DECRYPT existing xxx.asc files but cannot ENCRYPT. Right-clicking on, say, a yyy.txt file simply offers "Send as email attachment" or "send file to IM contact." I have zero items in /.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d; is that OK?

Edit: Following acheron's hint I just installed Kleopatra. It enables me to encrypt files, producing a .gpg extension. Thanks again, A!
