Kleopatra: Import multiple certificate files one after the other
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

GnuPG (gpgsm and probably also gpg) can hang if multiple certificate files are imported concurrently. As work around, Kleopatra should import the files one after the other.

This is a spin-off of T4505: SM, W32: GPGSM hangs up the GnuPG System which deals with the GnuPG-side of this.

Kleopatra now runs the gpg/gpgsm processes one after another if multiple files are imported. (In fact, since we always try to import with gpg and gpgsm, this actually already happens when a single file is imported.)

This works, there is only one gpgsm process at a time while importing a dozen S/MIME certificates at once.
