Hi,
I was experiencing the same issue with reports when using EasyPG. You
probably came with up with a solution to this. I have too and I figured I'd
share it for reference. To get ledger reports to work, just wrap the
`ledger-report-cmd` using an advice function, like this:
(defadvice ledger-report-cmd (around ledger-report-gpg)
(let ((ledger-reports
(if (string= (file-name-extension (or (buffer-file-name
ledger-buf) "")) "gpg")
(mapcar
(lambda (report)
(list (car report)
(concat
"gpg2 --no-tty --quiet -d %(ledger-file) | ledger -f
- "
(mapconcat 'identity (cdddr (split-string (cadr
report))) " "))))
ledger-reports)
ledger-reports)))
ad-do-it))
(ad-activate 'ledger-report-cmd)
This function basically rebinds the `ledger-reports` variable if the file
name extension ends with 'gpg'. And it maps over the existing list of
report commands, stripping the ledger command and file argument and
prepending it with a command that pipes the decrypted data into ledger.
