Indicate that and why PGP-2 pubkeys (or secret) keys are not imported
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Via the Gpg4win support channels, we had meanwhile two reports of people that tried to import only keys (probably pubkeys and secret keys) not working. It turned out to be ignored PGP-2 keys.

So I'd think it is a use case that during key-import, it is more clearly visible why a key import
did not work.

Kleopatra now shows this:

Will be part of the next Gpg4win release.

For GNU/Linux it will likely take longer to get into distros as this needs a currently unreleased GPGME version.
