Yeah that is a messed up environment mixing elf and windows binaries. There is no which on windows. It is called where. So if your terminal is able to execute which then this is some kind of Linux environment on Windows. The winpty error comes from the terminal. Please use cmd.exe for all tests.

Thanks for opening the ticket. I looked at it when it was reported in the forum, But had no test build at hand to test a fix. If you look at the history of g4wihelp.c you can see how other functions have been ported to Unicode recently. The change is that the strings in the nsis script world have changed to two byte strings. The problem is then where the c code interacts with the NSIS script obtaining parameters and setting return values. Since the popstackna takes an ascii string it only takes the first character as the second byte is null. Changing these occurrences to popstackn and the setuservariable to widechar should do the trick.

I had T3840 assigned to me related to the Qt parts. I close that now as duplicate. But I don't see that we ever added a call of gpgrt_w32_override_locale to kleopatra or gpgol either. Which I assume to be the fix for T7454

This was now added as disableAutoPreview (the option was renamed after 26c2fc196bb73d9bd96c91ea7cc12679d925b376 )

Since codesigning for all dlls was added this is fully resolved.

There won't be improvements to PGP/Inline

The status of HTML Mails is noted in T6333 everything else here does no longer apply afaik. Although mailstore has since been known as an incompatible addin.

I looked at the wiki and the content seems okay and what this issue requests has been done years ago. So resolved.

No longer valid.

Forgotten to resolve the issue when fixing it.

I have fixed this as a7349189f3af05822eba4bd17b62482fa2b0747f so I am closing this as a duplicate of T5982 because it is clear to me now that the last remaining and current problem was sending and not receiving such mails and was broken by 9f81ed6561c5f41e50d1a51333c9586a33ed2ef6

The kf6 branch in Gpg4win was created for qt6 builds and can be used.

I mostly receive HTML only mails from automated mail systems.

Sorry, what I meant by this was just 9316d458d509dd0237a6bb82109c0f48549c3e59 which I added to T6582 instead of this ticket

This was fixed by c0ca4f1b254f6879d719d1a5ed43a51ca9015b93 since the embedded message was not handled it was not extracted / parsed into an Attachment C++ Object which caused this error. I don't want to change the status of tasks which are not assigned to me but i saw it while looking over my open assigned tickets.

Ok. Sorry, just to avoid debugging in case it is not known, I am pretty sure the ini file is a regression from the unicode nsis switich. The timing when it was reported to no longer work matches around that time and the installer code itself hasnt changed for even longer.

From a quick glance at the docs. This looks completely correct. What did this do and what didn't it do?

Just to explain, if you are executing it from the command line the command line will "lock" the uninstaller until it is finished. In GUI Mode it creates a copy in %TEMP% launches this copy and exits. When run from the command line it requires a session reset to delete the unistaller. So log out / log in and the uninstaller should be removed, but the dir might still exist. I am not sure. To workaround you need to copy the uninstaller to a temporary locationm firs and then execute and delete the copy.

I wasnt aware of this either, but it would be good since we currently don't have a file extension listed explicitly for pgp keys, even though we register one and have the strings already to handle downloading keys where the server transfers application/pgp-keys as information. While https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/common-file-name-extensions-in-windows-da4a4430-8e76-89c5-59f7-1cdbbc75cb01 recognizes it as Microsoft Publisher file wikipedia says PGP Public key but without a citation. If AllowSilentDefaultTakeover is not set, the following code will not automatically change .pub to kleopatra. Instead in microsoft publisher is installed, it will ask you for the first time when a .pub file is opened after installing Kleopatra if you want to keep opening the files with Microsoft Publisher or if they should be opened from now on with IKleopatra,.

I misunderstood the problem. On the receiving side this was already fixed by me in 2019 9a9fe4e7fcad92bfba49ade9a6c44373f170ccd2

I edited the task accordingly. Here I meant Notepad. But I would also add this as an idea / improvement for the clipboard if this should get improvements.

Yes, automatic scanning of the clipboard is not good. I withdraw the idea.

I am not sure if it helps if I comment, I just saw that this is issue cropped up again, and although we might be seeing different problems since other reports like T6623: Kleopatra hangs "Loading certificate cache" on Windows 10 T4581: Kleopatra stuck in loading the certificate cache are about indefinite hangs. (Was a timeout added in a generic place recently?) I just hope that at one point the underlying cause for this is found and resolved instead of hiding the symptom each time we find a way to reproduce this a bit better. Seeing T7437 and T7438 in which I commented a bit more made me sad that this is still not treated as a GnuPG issue.

To explain why I have not changed this, even though we have observed these hangs for years. I have never been able to reproduce a hang or issue without Kleopatra and only GPGME and only through keylistings. I just looked and still had the scripts I used for testing to mimic the calling pattern of Kleopatra lying around since this code is also run each time the security approval dialog is shown in Outlook.

Closing since the cause for this was identified.

I agree here with Werner. Changing the fronted to workaround locking / timing issues in the backend like in T4505: SM, W32: GPGSM hangs up the GnuPG System T6323: Kleopatra: Import multiple certificate files one after the other might be necessary in the short term to make a release possible. But even if, like in T6323 the code which avoids the issue is better this should rather be the last resort or done after doing a fix in the backend or to avoid the issue with older versions. I just wanted to comment because I clearly remember that in T6323 I was very glad to finally have a way to reproduce a deadlock with a high probability and then very frustrated that the issue was left in the backend and only hidden in Kleo.

Additionally permanently watching the clipboard for changes can cause some password managers to detect an "attack". As it is discoverable which application accesses the clipboard on windows we had the case where a password manager would not work when Kleopatras clipboard watcher was running. T6642

Ah, ok I understood it as "we will change the soname for other reasons e.g. so that both versions are co installable but we will not break ABI". And I would prefer the break for qgpgme at least because of the mentioned problem not because I don't care about ABI stability but because I do and this is a big problem which only exists, because I didn't do it with the last repo move. There is no technical reason anymore for the abstract base classes.

If the major version for QGpgME is bumped, shouldn't we at least remove the virtual base classes. Eg: delete FooJob and rename QGpgMEFooJob to FooJob. I did regret not doing this when i moved them out of libkleo since this architecture no longer makes sense in the standalone libnrary and technically the virtual bases make it nearly impossible to maintain ABI stability when adding functions. The reason for those was only because libkleo had that idea of different backends namely gpgme and chiasmus. But a Library called QGpgME should never provide another backend then GPGME IMO.
So no behavioural change at all, just something to make future ABI compat easier.
