encview is a basic 50 line python wrapper around gpg to make viewing encrypted files easier.
It decrypts files to the RAM backed temporary filesystem /dev/shm, and launches
the system viewer for that filetype with xdg-open. CTRL-C will then delete the decrypted file.
Ideally, the decrypted file would automatically be deleted when the viewing program is closed.
However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get the PID of the launched viewer from xdg-open.
If anyone's figured out how to make xdg-open block or somehow find the launched process, let me know!
This is only going to work on linux computers, but could likely be ported to OSX with minimal effort.
- Usage:
