Photo ID capability in Kleopatra
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

This is a feature request to add "photo ID" functionality to Kleopatra.
Older GnuPG definitely support it because I am using it with Thunderbird extension Enigmail (prior to TB78 integration) and it's excellent key management UI.

  • add/remove photo ID to a key
  • display photo ID if exists when viewing key properties


Sadly Enigmail's successor as TB integrated is a pale shadow of it's former self :-(

Sorry, but this is a "Wontfix" we do not support this by choice. We think that adding photos to certificates both gives a wrong sense like "I know that picture, iit must be this person" and also increases the sizes of the certificates a lot. It is in our opinion a misfeature in the OpnePGP specificationl.

Old Kleopatra versions even had this text:

But thanks for reporting! I really like feature requests so please do not feel discouraged to request more features.
