The about dialog where it tells unknown windows version means it's Gpg4win-3.1.13 (the only version affected by T5056 )

Released

I've tested this before the Gpg4win release and it worked as expected. Thanks.

Reopening this as I have seen such hangs multiple times during testing. When importing multiple keys with Kleopatra at once this can be reproduced sometimes.

Long since resolved

Noteworthy changes in Version 3.1.15 (unreleased)

We discussed this, the proper solution will be for gpgtar to accept unicode arguments on windows.

We are hoping to have at least a beta release soon with gcrypt 1.9 that we can put in a Gpg4win-4 beta.

This works with the message class changing. We still need to do it for OpenPGP, too.

The problem is not with creation, that works. The problem is also not with files contained in the archive, they also work. The problem is the archive name. And that also seems to be correct in the way gpgtar extracts it as gpgtar successfully extracts the archive, but the created folder name has the broken character.

This has been resolved with rOb05416e7bc41

This can be closed now that we have the system wide gnupg configuration.

This reminds me that I should check if kconfig_compiler nowadays supports cross compiling or add that. Back when I started cross compiling kleopatra in 2015 I was lazy and patched in the generated kconfig files. I never really saw the advantage of them but yeah it's more KDEish to use them.

This works now with 0c1bd9076958e584820fadf997ca7d8a248b6888 but needs more testing before this can be relased. It will probably be part of a Gpg4win-4 beta.

Ok. I've just added with rev 69539cea316f2d2998eefbd14539f8def3fc07ab more platform specific code for userinformation so this makes even more sense.

Have you tried on the command line: "gpg --gen-key" ? Maybe this gives more helpful debug output. But in the case of "permission denied" this really sounds like a local setup issue as there are also no other reports related to this. Still I'll add the saveguard to make the check in kleo more explicit.

I think the option you are looking for is "--homedir" with that option on the command line you can redirect where GnuPG looks for options and keys.
