incorrect GPA decription on binary compressed signature

There is something weird with the GPA file feature for decrypting
signed and compressed signature files.

I have taken a small .gif file and signed it, using the first (default)
signature option. The .gpg file is generated ok.

Now, when dropping back this file in the GPA interface (file mode), by
hitting the Decrypt button, an error appears telling me that the gpg
file contains no OpenGPG data. The original .gif file (which I deleted
previously, leaving only the .gpg file) appears temporarely until I
close the error box, so the program seems to try to extract it, but
the picture is partially broken (I open it before it disapears, i.e.
before closing the error box).

The generated .gpg signature file is ok, because I can decrypt it and
extract the .gif file very well using either GPGee explorer extension
or WinPT tray application.

I'm on WinXP, GPA is 0.7.6 from the latest gpg4win package.

Hm ?

thanks for your report. I am currently on the road an have no Windows
system available for testing. Could you create a bug report in the gpa
bug tracker? This way it won't get lost.

Best
