Notes for testing (and maybe documentation update):

• A few features (?) of the old CSR creation have been removed:
  • The different choices offered after CSR creation (e.g. save to file, send to CA, create signing/encryption CSR with same settings, etc.) have been removed; now a file save dialog pops up when the CSR has been generated
  • Custom labels for the RSA key sizes ([CertificateCreationWizard]RSAKeySizeLabels); we use GnuPG's algorithm IDs as labels (items in the drop down box)
  • Custom key type ([CertificateCreationWizard]CMSKeyType); CSR creation supported (and still supports) only RSA as "key type"; by marking the config key as immutable one could force the creation of signing+encryption CSRs which makes little sense for S/MIME and might have been "copied" from OpenPGP key creation where forcing the generation of keys for signing & encryption does make some sense.
  • Specification of the CA's email address ([CertificateCreationWizard]CAEmailAddress); the generated CSRs are now always written to disk; the users will have to create an email themselves

We will do a new gpg4win beta soon.

@m.eik Could you please enable debug option for gpg-agent and get the log output for the crash?

I fixed the problem (which I identified above) in gniibe/t7759 branch. There might be other causes/problems for the particular symptom, so, I don't know the fix resolves the symptom or not, though. Anyhow, I believe that this is an improvement.

re 1: Only if the option --auto-key-upload is used/configured.
re 2: Do not configure --auto-key-upload but give it on the command line.
re 3: Do not use --auto-key-upload - maybe I should add a --no-auto-key-upload option.

Hi
I have some questions about the "auto-key-upload: If an LDAP keyserver is configured (in dirmngr), upload a newly created key directly to that server" feature:

1. If an LDAP keyserver is configured, will every newly created key be uploaded? Is this upload behavior enabled by default?
2. Even with an LDAP keyserver configured, what if we don’t want to upload by default? If we prefer manual approval or want to upload only a specific subkey, how should we handle that?
3. What about keys created for testing, temporary use, or personal privacy-sensitive purposes that we don’t want others to discover?

People who use GPG tend to care deeply about privacy and don’t want to upload or expose unnecessary information.
