Is it possible to activate the plugin on demand ?

[FractalWire]

Hi,

So, if I have a file named 'myFile' that is encrypted but does not finish with .gpg, .pgp ar .asc, is it possible, once I start editing it to enable the plugin ?
So that I can see the unencrypted version of the file and save my possible changes.

Thanks

The plugin currently requires that the filename matches a known pattern. It shouldn't be too difficult to add a :GPGDecrypt command to decrypt an unrecognized buffer.

There would need to be some additional work to handle saving, since that also expects a certain filename pattern. This could possibly be simplified to check for a buffer-local variable that the buffer is the result of decrypting a file.

There should probably also be a :GPGEncrypt command for the flip side of working with a new, unencrypted buffer and saving it as an encrypted file that doesn't match the expected filename pattern.

Or. Better. Just have a configuration where you can specify file types that you want to encrypt.

g:GPGFilePattern already allows to configure this, so you could either configure it in your .vimrc, or a wrapper could temporarily set the pattern to *.
