I think it's not exposed in the user interface. You can manually set it by adding

I noticed a wrong location info ("On this computer and on a smart card") in case of an S/MIME certificate which only resides on a card.
(It started out as "on this computer" and then changed to "On this computer and on a smart card" after a second)

I assume this will then apply also to the Notepad encryption settings

Please grey out the "Anyone …" sentence, too.

The option is available now and it works:

If RestorePositionForNextInstance=false is still there after gpgpass has been quit then either KMainWindow::closeEvent() didn't run or the dirty state config wasn't sync'd to disk. When reading the code in KMainWindow I was wondering if a sync() was missing, but in Kleopatra it worked without this.

Looks good, Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145:

Window is open:

@ebo: What does the MainWindow section in gpgpasstaterc contain?

The versioninfo.txt line of 5.0Beta-145 for gpgpass is:

It seems to work here on Windows and Linux

Note: Restoring the last window location is a built-in feature of KMainWindow/KXmlGuiWindow. It should work out-of-the-box if one makes sure that KMainWindow::closeEvent() is called even if it's overwritten. (Instead of overwriting KMainWindow::closeEvent() the better approach is to overwrite KMainWindow::queryClose() which is what I changed in Kleopatra.)

Which other Qt applications do we want to apply this to? Okular? GpgPass?

For a fresh install with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145) all kleo config files are below %APPDATA%\gnupg\kleoaptra:

Backported for VSD 3.3.x / Gpg4win 4.4.x

I believe at least the "automatically" needs to be there.
And you can not close "this" window, really, only all future windows of this kind. If the operation was successfull…

+1 in general; Maybe slightly rephrase to "Close this window after completion"?

tested with Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145), works as described.

works, Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145)

Confirmed with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145), I checked only the default light mode.

Confirmed OK for Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145)

Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145):

tested with Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145) on Windows, works!

with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta145), Kleopatra from Friday.

We have to talk about the workflows in the different variations. This needs to be simplified further.

I looked with alexk at the suggestion from ikloecker https://dev.gnupg.org/T7091#185587
We would modify it a bit to:

Tested with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125)
and Yubikey:

Checked with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125):

tested with version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125): no pop-ups

works, Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125)

Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125):

I think "not certified" is ok if several UIDs with different certification states exist.

Sounds like the animation causes/relies on a deferred destruction. Do we/KF6 delete the popup manually?

Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125):

Works as described with Version 4.0.0.250370 (Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125):

Making some progress on understanding this:

When opening the notepad in Kleopatra, open it in a new (non modal) window.
This has the advantage that you can to open several notepads.
Kleopatra has currently only two views for the main window: "Certificates" and "Notepad". Using a separate window for the notepad removes necessity for the the "Certificate" button in the icon bar, as well as the corresponding entry in the "View" menu.
That would also make Kleopatra more homogeneous and cleaner.

It is KF6.9.0 in Gpg4win-5.0.0-beta125

The formatted display of the symmetric passphrase is configurable: gpg-agent.conf option pinentry-formatted-passphrase

Ok, the behavior is different depending on if

Oh, then I mistakenly assumed that this behavior is the same in Gpg4win and GnuPG-VSD…
Then this seems to be by design although it does not make sense IMHO to handle this aspect differently between 4win und VSD.

I can find no difference between e.g. gpg4win-4.3.0 and 5.0-beta here:

• The window gets smaller when entering a password in both versions
• there is no whitespace between characters in the old version either

Not reproducible on Linux (with KF 6.11): When clicking the drop down triangle the popup briefly flashes (opens and immediately closes) before the error window is shown. Maybe the bug was fixed in the meantime. Needs to be checked.

In the spirit of making the UI less cluttered, I'd be in favor of removing this line entirely.
