Summary: Unrealistic displaying of certificates located on
OpenPGP smart cards
Product: kleopatra
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: emerald bluewin ch
Version: 1.9.2-beta (svn-812909, 2008-05-26) (using 4.00.80 (KDE
4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1), compiled sources)
Compiler: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
OS: Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.0 (2000 Professional)
There is in my opinion a large range of possible improvements for the way
Kleopatra manages smartcards, here are some of my thinkings (to be completed by
community):
- Add in tabs display a user friendly icon for each certificate. 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".
