Kleopatra: Improvements to columns in the search window
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

This is how the search window looks after first start, the column names are cut of when there are longish names:

And after a search (I added the origin column manually here, because I'm on an older test version without T7155):

You see that the width is still the same.
I'm not sure what is the best approach, one might do something similar to T7227 or T7082.

Edit 2024-08-19 strike through of obsolete suggestions:
And for columns 3 (User-ID/Status) and 5 (Valid until) the tooltip says that those values can not be validated at this point. Therefore I propose to remove those columns from the default columns of the search window.

If both items are not addressed together, please split the ticket.

Version
Gpg4win-4.3.2-beta41

Event Timeline

If this is easy to solve and backport, I would like to have this in the next release, as we did a lot of column related changes in other tables already for that release.

  • The status column is already removed in the gpg4win branch but not yet in the test version
  • afaik "Valid Until" is actually available for keys coming from WKD
  • For the column widths, we could hide the table until the initial search results come in and then resize to content, or just always resize to content when results come in

afaik "Valid Until" is actually available for keys coming from WKD

you're right. So no columns to remove, as "Status" is gone already.

I would prefer hiding the table until there are results, but that's no strong opinion and only based on visual reasons

I wouldn't hide the table. We don't hide any tables (e.g. also in smart card view) if they are empty. I would resize ones on very first show (if restoreColumnLayout() returns false). This fixes the initially cut column titles. And then I'd resize to content when the search results are shown, but also only the very first time (i.e. we'd need to remember the first show).
