Description

This is relevant for VSD-3.3 IMO since from a security standpoint it makes sense to regularly change the encryption subkeys and expire old ones while keeping the sign/certify key.

It should also allow you to create an Authentication / Sign subkey though since there are usecases for that, too.

Tested with gpg4win-beta-50:

One minor irritation: you do not see what the standard algorithm will be before you create it.

• ebo edited projects, added vsd33 (vsd-3.3.0); removed vsd33.

Works in VS-Desktop-3.2.94.481-Beta and you even see beforehand which algo will be used:
