Option to encrypt file grayed out, even though files can be encrypted with GPG in the command line and KGPG Varsion 4.8.0.1 Fedora 25
You don't say which distribution you use, or whether you compiled yourself. I believe there is a command line switch at compile (cmake) time for this feature, This requires gpgme, not just gpg, so you might also be missing the necessary library, although I suspect that would cause an error rather than just silently not offer encryption. You can try "lss `which kmymoney` | grep gpg" to see if that is an issue.
Hi Jack, I'm using Fedora 25,and KmyMoney was downloaded from the Fedora 25 repo. The website of course states "If possible, it is always preferred to use a package specifically prepared for your distribution", it doesn't add "unless you want to use file encryption, in which case you'll need to dowload the source files and compile it youself". As a file released to the official repo, I'd expect it to work 'as is'. and I do have Gpgme installed.

I suggest you file a bug with Fedora. If they intentionally left out encryption, I'd love to know why, and if it was unintentional, they need to know. It certainly does not seem to be a bug in KmyMoney itself.
Thanks I've raised a bug with Fedora, I'll keep you updated william *Sent:* Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 5:10 PM *From:* Jack <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> *To:* william.cummings@myself.com *Subject:* [kmymoney4] [Bug 376514] Encrpyption option not availablehttps://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376514 Jack <ostroffjh@users.sourceforge.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC|ostroffjh@users.sourceforge | |.net | --- Comment #3 from Jack <ostroffjh@users.sourceforge.net> --- I suggest you file a bug with Fedora.

Any update on that (old) fedora bug?
Since Fedora 35 is ten versions newer and I have never had a problem with encryption in Fedora, since long before Fedora 25,, I say close this bug.
