It would be the grey background text and no forced template, just as an input hint. And it would override the automatic detection of name / e-mail so that no wrong values are prefilled. This should help avoid unattentive users from creating a slightly wrong user id if their ad domain address does not match the e-mail.

Tested both with the policies key and with the normal key and with HKLM fallback. Works as expected. There was also an issue where the error handling in case setting the HTML body failed did no longer work, probably since the verification preview changes. This was fixed with 76b43345cdd3e932dae7b677e5c021ca52191f8e

I compiled the Appimage with the scripts in Gpg4win and it runs Kleopatra and works :-)

How would you handle a combination of X509 Certificates and PGP Certificates in that case? Wouldn't that require two files?

Okay, but then we need a new level for those options that really must not be shown in a UI, but that still need to be accessible via gpgconf. In fact, there is the level "internal" which does not yet seem to be used for any options, but that seems suitable at least for the deprecated gpg/keyserver option.

While we should have an explicit Import setting I would also like to have a file extension like "kgrp" for key group, cgrp for certificate group is already used by another software.
So that we can register this with a file handler in windows so that such files can get an icon and a double click handler.

I had explicitly added these options because for me the whole "GnuPG System" is an expert level configuration. I would rather move the very important options like the agent timeout settings out of this and then maybe show an info when the user first selects those settings that changing options here could lead to errors in operation.

Our windows explorer plugin keeps libgpg-error loaded when you install an upgrade. That is why our installer asks for a reboot at the end of the install. You have ignored the reboot and you then get the error.

It is related in the following way:
The Gpg4win installer creates these context menu actions through the component GpgEX.
The Gpg4win installer does not support Windows XP anymore.

No support for Windows XP anymore.

Just for the record, Kleopatra and Gpg4win work totally fine for me on Windows-11 preview.

AllowSetForegroundWindow did not work but the code from pinentry works even without the minimize / raise. The minimize raise is only required for the proper input focus and a nice animation for pinentry but the QWindowsWindowBehavior is already sufficient.

I am pretty sure that an AllowSetForegroundWindow in the kuniqueservice_win implementation in Kleopatra will alleviate this issue. Since we pass a double click on a file which has foreground window permissions to the existing process which at this point may not have foreground window permissions. If this still does not help we can do the minimize / maximize trick.

Ingo, I have tested this on Windows with NV Access and was able to symmetrically encrypt and decrypt a file with closed eyes. I went through the windows explorer context menu to select sign & encrypt on selected files.
Can you also do some more tests on Linux ( I do not know how to properly enable a screenreader there ) and if you find anything ugly fix it.
