Thanks for the pointers. I just wanted to paste this as a differential so that it does not get lost in a stash somewhere on my system. I actually do not like this approach anymore. And do not want to commit it in this way. I would rather subclass or extend KAboutData with a verification option and then read from a QSettings style file instead of this Line based thing. For this I really think that an out of process call makes sense because the call is not to gpg but only to gpgv where we can just rely on the return code and even if we just patch it in having a GPGME dependency in KCoreAddons would be bad design IMO.

Why don't you create an MR on invent?

This adds a lot of complexity to a program which should be simple. I tend to say, just accept a small(?) race condition in cache flushing. The power issue of waking up every minute or so is a constructed one and does not result in a noticeable battery drain in real life.

I have a bad patch for this. D567 But I think we need a better solution that works without libkleo and could live in KCoreAddons as a change to KAboutData so that we can reuse it better for T6594

Changed the task description to easier find it

I concluded that it's just simpler not to do so. Since expected use cases are only for passphrase cache expiration and some monitoring something, it would be overkill.

Hi,
This is a classical support question. Please use one of the community channels under:
https://www.gpg4win.de/community.html
for this.

Turning this into a feature request: We should create P12 files using AES instead of 3DES

If we ever add a way to take the password from a file we will for sure hide that in the log files. Ceterum autem censeo tesserae esse delendam.

This is now done :)

This is now merged in master :)

Optionally, (configurable on the Directory Services page) Kleopatra now queries WKDs for all user IDs when updating an OpenPGP certificate.

So this works for me now. The user where we build gpg4win has local diversions in ~/bin so as to not affect the GnuPG builds in any way and in the dockerfile we use update-alternatives to select the posix flavor.
