This also explains why in one of my cases, the option 'View key properties' under the 'Details' button did not do anything. Until the key cache is reloaded and the key info is present in the key manager, 'View key properties' does nothing - not even an error message. As soon as the key cache has been reloaded, 'View key properties' works correctly. >This behaviour is probably worth a bug report on its own.

With 1.6, I never found a usable option for 'view OpenPGP photoID' under the 'Details' button - it was always grayed out. With 1.7a1pre, sometimes it is there and it works. Other times it is grayed out but the photoID is present and can be viewed through the key manager. I can't spot any differences between the cases where the option is available and those where it is grayed out. Any ideas ? Philip
