Let's not make the filtering more complex. It's already complex enough with the search field and the filter drop down. If we want more flexible filtering then this should be solved in a general way and not as Sonderlocke for "disabled". "disabled" is really a niche feature and, in my opinion, doesn't deserve a prominent UI element in the main UI.

Comment edited. We still might want to have that discussion about what we should aim for but this ticket is not the correct place for it. Apologies.

Backported for VSD 3.3

Gpg4win-Beta-70:
There is an appearance filter for disabled certificates now.
Though I wonder if it is really necessary / useful, as we now have regular filters, too. I would have thought we only need the regular filters. I think the appearance filter was to be a stopgap as we did not want to touch the filters at the time when this ticket was created.
What do you say?

I agree that it doesn't make sense anymore because we never show disabled and not-disabled certificates next to each other.

Agree with removing the appearance filter

Testing the removal of the appearance flag from this filter leads to this situation:

• The filter is still shown in the configuration UI for filter appearance (Settings -> Configure Kleopatra -> Appearance -> Certificate Categories), as this list doesn't evaluate whether the filter is actually an appearance filter
• The filter is no longer used for calculating the appearance of certificates in the list (as expected)

This leads to an unexpected mismatch between configuration and appearance. The proper fix would be for the configuration list to only show appearance filters, but that might be a bigger change than we want to introduce at this point in the release cycle.

Since it doesn't really hurt us to have it also as an appearance filter, I'd propose to keep it as-is for now and look into larger changes when doing the larger filter changes we want to do

Ok with me. setting this to resolved, then.
