Kleopatra: Offer users to certify exportable when exporting keys
Open, WishlistPublic
Actions

Description

When exporting OpenPGP certificates, regardless of where, we should check if certifications are done and if so if they are exportable and offer the user an easy option to do that now.

I know the user will most likely not check the fingerprints in that case but if there was believable contact with others I think that is fine. A bit TOFU style.

For the export of multiple certificates (i.e. not group export), this task is blocked by the wishlist issue T5847: Kleopatra: New Feature for bulk certify. Either this issue is also wishlist or the other issue is needs to become normal.

You are right, this is a new feature that could be useful but is now in high demand and not a bug so Wishlist is more appropiate.
