--- Comment #6 from TokieSan <[email protected]> ---
I don't agree with the prefiltering part due to the same reason you proposed
which is conscious, the decision to remove the usage & type columns were mainly
to appeal to the most % of the use cases leaving the less used details in the
"view certificate" dialog and back then we had a couple of meetings to decide
on what to keep/remove.

I think that for the usage part, usually in cases where two different keys used
for encryption vs signing it gets added as a subkey (and thus in the UI both
will have the same entry, but the subkey will be automatically used according
to whether it's in encryption or signing) Also in cases for splitted
certificates, a large margin of those usually include that usage part in the
comment attribute of the certificate (since in other cert usage cases you are
only seeing the comments) which is also viewed directly in the dialog

The question is what % would the case the two keys are separate of the total
usage cases (and it'll be frustrating not to have the usage columns) and view
certificate dialog won't be enough. I agree that the dialog in case a sign only
cert was used for encryption should include more information anyways rather
than just "OpenPGP key not trusted, damaged, or encryption failure".

These are my thoughts tho based on the earlier discussions we had and your
comments, some details are maybe missing but maybe hossein can provide his
input as well
