I agree that, at least at the moment, all these messages are coming from gpg and thus Kleopatra itself cannot influence the smart card management. We could of course simply remove my entry on Kleopatra bugs report system and then start a topic on gpg side. From the other side, in my opinion it is not necessarily a good idea to assign (and consequently centralise) all smartcard related tasks to a piece of software that is external to the front-end application. Typically, the smartcard reader initialisation should be made by the front-end itself (what will happen for instance if several front-ends are used simultaneously?). I think pcsc was made to manage this kind of things and I don't really see an advantage adding a new software-layer. Of course scdaemon should still be used but only to treat the smartcard related objects that concerns the certificates, keys and other crypto-objects; so I can imagine that a collaboration between gpg and kleopatra communities may be very helpful, but how to initiate it? What's your point of view? With warmest regards, Manu Favre P.S. I not familiar in working in an open source environment, so if some of proposals seem strange to you, please be understanding :o| [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

The icon should indicate wether the certificate contains or not a private key and wether the certificated is located on the computer or on the smart card. - Here above mentionned displaying should react dynamically to the insertion of the smart card (i.e. for a certificate xyz stored in a smart card: if smart card present - display icon of the certificate with smartcard idiom + private key available, when smart card removed - display icon of the certificate without smartcard idiom and without private key available) - PCSC session: At the moment Kleopatra just tries to access to the first available pcsc reader and gives up with error message card not present if the first pcsc reader does not contain an OpenPGP compatible smart card. Actually it is possible anyway to specify the reader that must be choosen in gpg.conf but in my opinion this is a bit boring in some cases. Proposal: spool all available pcsc readers and make a candidate list of all reader where an OpenPGP smart card is actually inserted, if the candidate list contains only one candidate then automatically select it. If no candidates found - Error message no available card. - ? ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
[Bug 163757] New: Kleopatra self-tests gives unaccurate results

As an example, scdaemon configuration check is displayed as failed but the use of the daemon runs in deed correctly (encryption, decryption, key genaration and so on) ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
