Using an external process as an option is fine. However adding more dependencies to gnupg should be avoided.

Could we please merge it to the stable branch (2.2.3 does not have this patch yet) or it is not tested enough? Existing subkey sellection strategy doesn't play well with mail signing and affects GPGTools/GPGMail users as well as any other users with multiple signing subkeys. Thanks!

Not sure this should remain open. Months later a release was done excluding this. Originally mentioned on list in October 2016. Over a year later still not included. Very discouraging. I guess I can just see about having this external for myself. Shocking that FLTK and QTK see more usage than EFL which is part of Tizen OS. Clearly issues with either me, or EFL. Some reason it was excluded and being ignored. Seems nothing I can do either way. Oh well, I did all I could for months. On a very small contribution...

Kleopatra will only expose the values that are settable through gpgconf. Messing with preferred hash algorithms is nothing a user should do as the defaults are thought through and discussed. Mostly such changes come from bad recommendations. So the GUI / gpgconf does not offer this prominently as we don't want to create problems for users.

The attached patches make the necessary changes to libgcrypt and gpg-agent. A word about my change to libgcrypt. Since all of the *_secure allocation operations were hardcoded to set xhint to zero, I simply replaced that hardcoded value with a static variable. In the patches I have some sample documentation for both changes. My scheme skills are quite old, so I did not write a test case.

fisgtm-amul added a comment to T3530: Option to auto-increase secmem in gpg-agent.

Here is the test case that I wrote a while back (Follow-up to Crashes with gpg-agent 2.1.18). It is written with bash in mind and creates a stand-alone GNUPGHOME directory with a pinentry routine that supplies the password (I guess I could have preset the passphrase) and then starts 200 concurrent gpg decryption requests. With GPG 2.1.18 and up, this usually exposes the out of memory situation very fast.

Right, but gpg has a strategy to figure out what it considers the primary (ie. the user id commonly printed).
