That is intentional. If we are able to remove a file we do it. Solution for you is easy: gpg .... -o - </dev/null >/dev/null

This looks like the same problem I encountered in Gentoo's Portage. To unlock the binary package signing key, Portage will run the equivalent of gpg --homedir ... --digest-algo ... --local-user ... --output /dev/null /dev/null. If unlocking fails (due to e.g. wrong password), /dev/null is removed: https://bugs.gentoo.org/912808

Needs to be checked for 2.4 - no backport to 2.2, though.

Needs to be checked again with stable. No backport to 2..2, though.

Won't be backported to 2.2 once we got something in 2.4.

Alternatively this is a version of it with all the information in one inline message (and clicking on Encrypted will show the recipients and clicking on key will open the key in Kleopatra)

Implemented here: https://invent.kde.org/pim/kleopatra/-/merge_requests/56

Ok. Thanks for testing. That confirms my suspicion. rOdd3ff8397aaf62e58fa9405ddc5397cb6bcfdc29 is to blame here with the setReadFlag line as the specific cause. Because it is intended to trigger a save back. The problem was that we had circumstances where other addins changed the mail and really wanted it to be saved back to the server. So we call "save" before decrypting the mail to ensure that these changes are saved and then we decrypt, put in our temporary plaintext and ensure that the plaintext never is saved.

I testet it with 4.10 and GggOL 2.5.6. The file isn't changed if I open it. So it seems the change happend in 4.2.0.

Do you know if this is something new that started to happen with 4.2.0 for the first time or did it happen with 4.1.0, too?

My question would be, should we try to improve KConfig in some way which makes it easy for us to do this? I think we should, if this is a common problem for many applications. Maybe a task for sune?

I'm not sure, but you may also want to sync the state config (which stores mostly window geometries). In fact, we might want to use the state config for more settings that change often, e.g. the different last used directories.

We decided to keep the current behavior as default (privacy by default), but to add an option to enable WKD lookups for all user IDs.

I found a troff reference: https://www.quut.com/berlin/ms/troff.html

Ideally, we should change the source document to use @minus{} for a minus sign, and keep - only when it means a hyphen. But we cannot do that blindly; We need to handle it with care, in a way of case by case (Texinfo manual suggests no use of @minus{} with @code or @example, but it is needed for groff man pages in many cases).... We would need to consider each occurrence of - in our document. That's too much (if it were me to fix).

Yes, since we also don't have a ton of "temporary" changes (except for window geometries) such a behavior would make the most sense.
Does it even make sense for us in these places to use KSharedConfig?

I'll swap us over to out of source build for this as well. I've been doing it gradually for the gpg suite. Thanks.

The following patch fixes this (for me):

diff --git a/lang/qt/tests/Makefile.am b/lang/qt/tests/Makefile.am
index 32ad6466..aedd3264 100644

This happens because you build in the source directory and therefore the wrong debug.h is found. While this should work in general we strongly suggest to use a separate build directory.

The changes have been backported to VSD. Note that they require today's changes in gpgme (just after the release of gpgme 1.22.0).

OpenPGP keys are now also updated via WKD, but only for user IDs which were originally retrieved via WKD (i.e. which have origin WKD).

Done. Will be tested with T5903: Kleopatra: Add refresh button in certificatedetails .

Importing certificates now raises the mainwindow the same way as previously "--import-certificates" would have done. To have it raised even before the job is started gives the widget a bit of a backdrop with the progress and result.

Ah and we should remove the help button in case the PDF Group config help is not available (e.g. on normal linux systems) because opening the kleopatra handbook does not make sense when there is no documentation about groups in there :)

Minor correction of the interface changes:

qt: toLogString                            NEW.

Yeah this is a know issue with kconfig, I ended up in many places in NeoChat and other apps to just call sync directly after every set because I'm often quitting apps with Ctrl+C and the settings were often not saved for me.

I am giving this wishlist priority for now.

For the record I tested it on Windows that this now saves the config when logging out.

No problem ;) Sorry for my snarky reply. Hope it worked for you now.

Noticed this issue was still open. This was resolved.

OK, I'm sorry, please accept my apologies for not having read the dialog message carefully enough. It seems I ignore the second sentence, replacing it with the omnipresent "Do you want to continue?" in my mind. Maybe the excuse is that it was terribly hot and damp in my office, preventing me from thinking.

We should not backport this to 2.2; better update to the current stable version (2.4)

Using Ubuntu, it's GnuPG 2.2 (which doesn't have the fix of T4585). Without the fix, killing gpg (by CTRL-C) causes problematic situation where pinentry remains asking.
That's because gpg-agent and pinentry don't know the frontend side has been killed. T4585 introduced a watching thread into gpg-agent, so that it can correctly detect lost of frontend.
