Description

„Success“ messages (no failures or cancellation) when decrypting and or verifying. The verification text will follow after this and are addressed in another ticket.

I think the failure messages are all OK.

Current message versions verify only:
  • Verified <filename>%2</filename> with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Verified <filename>%2</filename> with %1 signatures in <filename>%3</filename>.

→can stay as is.

Current message decrypt+verify:
Successfully decrypted and verified <filename>%1</filename> as <filename>%2</filename>.
Recipient[s]: xxx

Alternatives (for the part before recipients), in order of my preference:
* Decrypted <filename>%1</filename> as <filename>%2</filename>. For verification result[s] see below.

  • Decrypted and verified <filename>%1</filename> as <filename>%2</filename>.

* <filename>%1</filename> was verified and decrypted as <filename>%1</filename>.

Current message decryption only:
Successfully decrypted <filename>%1</filename> as <filename>%2</filename>.
Recipient[s]: xxx

Alternatives (for the part before recipients), in order of my preference:

  • Decrypted <filename>%1</filename> as <filename>%2</filename>.

* <filename>%1</filename> was decrypted as <filename>%1</filename>.

It occurred to me that users may find the wording "evaluated FILE with signature" strange, because if you have a paper document you check the signature and not the content of the file.
Opinions?

After discussion various other wordings like:

  • Evaluated <filename>%2</filename> with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Integrity of file <filename>%2</filename> checked with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Checked the integrity of file <filename>%2</filename> with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Checked <filename>%2</filename> with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Compared <filename>%2</filename> with signature in <filename>%3</filename>.
  • Data and signature have been verified to match

We decided to only remove the word "Successfully" and keep everything else as is.

fwiw: it should be possible to show a different text in the case of "bad signature" but currently we want to keep it as simple as possible, i.e. no additional conditions.
