Description

Hello,
is there any way to change the expiration date of mainkey AND ALL attached
subkeys by one action only (and not key-by-key)?

It would be much more comfortable is many keys/subkeys must be changed...

Thanks + regards, Chris

Event Timeline

In b64b33b, I've added the ability to update multiple subkeys at once. Note: it
is still not possible to update the main key and the subkeys at the same time,
but this should be a significant improvement, I think.

To be clear: the limitation is that GnuPG doesn't currently allow selecting the
main key and subkeys at the same time.

marcus claimed this task.
marcus added a subscriber: marcus.

Given that we have reduced the number of operations to at most 2 (down from unlimited), and it is unclear if and how to proceed on this, I am closing here.
