GPG 1.4.19 homedir Command

[Clark Rivard]

Mike

This worked when I removed the trailing "\" from the --homedir directory 

	I had been using this 			 --homedir "\\folder\Key Ring\"

	This worked				 --homedir "\\folder\Key Ring"

Thanks.

Both of these worked for me.

F:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe" --homedir "f:\abc def\gpg" --list-keys F:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe" --homedir "\abc def\gpg" 
--list-keys

Try dropping the initial double slash.
