            Bug ID: 315645
           Summary: No "Decrypt/Verify" option showing on right-click when
                    pointing to encrypted file in Explorer window
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Kleopatra was successfully installed on my PC (running Windows 7, 64-bit).  I
successfully created a new certificate/key pair.  I can also successfully
decrypt a file from within Kleopatra via the "File" menu (i.e., File,
Decrypt/Verify Files, then pick the file, then key in passphrase).  However,
the "Decrypt/Verify" choice is not available to me when I right-click on the
encrypted file from Windows Explorer, which is the way we used to do this in
the 32-bit world using PGP.  I should be able to open an Explorer window, go to
the directory containing the encrypted file(s), then right-click -->
Decrypt/Verify.  That choice isn't even available.  

According to the documentation in the GPG4Win compendium, chapter 18 says I
should be able to do this using Kleopatra.  Here's the URL:

http://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_24.html

In the subsection "Decrypting a file" it shows a screenshot immediately after
some text that says I can choose Decrypt and verify in the Windows Explorer
context menu.

Your help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Windows explorer & find folder where encrypted file is located.
2. Select the file, then click with right mouse button.
3. No choices relevant to Kleopatra and/or GPG (such as "Decrypt/Verify") are
available.
Actual Results:  
The choice of "Decrypt/Verify" was not available.

Expected Results:  
The choice of "Decrypt/Verify" should be available, and I should be able to
decrypt a file from the Windows Explorer window.

Computer configuration already noted above.
