Today
Werner said we leave it as is for vsd3.3.3 and only change reading order of the configs for the change to the next mayor release.
So I make a child ticket for updating the documentation and retag this ticket for gpd5x.
Yesterday
So this means, the order in the description should be implemented, right?
Yes, by definition an immutable group doesn't allow any changes for that group. Don't mark a group as immutable if you want to allow changes.

The [KDE Action Restrictions][$i] in XDG_SYSTEM_DIRS/kleopatrarc prevents any changes within the whole group afterwards.
I guess, this is intended by defining an "immutable group", but i doubt that we want to prevent admins to change those settings?
So, regarding the minor version change: the change of order seems not critical (as there was no settings file before), but the introduction of the settings file might be.
I verified, that both in vsd 3.3.2 and vsd 3.3.3 beta90.29 the current implementation is
And we shouldn't change the precedence in a minor release, I believe.
The configuration readout order still needs to be specified/fixed.

Hi, I've managed to reproduce this bug on the gpg4win-5 beta as well. I think the frequency has gone down, perhaps, but it is still present.

As this was finished more than a year ago, this should be included (and testable) in vsd

As there has been no more feedback on this for years, I'll close this.

fix tested and confirmed with GnuPG 2.5.12 on windows 10

If this is indeed a bug it won't be fixed in gpg4win 4. Thus a test with gpg4win 5 beta is highly appreciated. It would also be interesting to see what what version of gpg comes with Git.
i've included logfiles for gpg-agent and scdaemon with debug-level 10. the files include

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 think it is save to say that we will not implement pgp/inline encryption with attachments

Can you please try with gpg4win-5 beta: https://www.gpg4win.org/version5.html this makes it easier for us to see the reason. Deinstall gpg4win first and note that version5 is 64 bit and installed under Program Files (w/o (x86)). If it still does not work please add

This is addressed in my blog post; I set the GPG executable used by Git in the configuration so that it uses the one shipped with Gpg4win:

The problem is likely the gpg which comes with Git on Windows. Depending on where they are in the %PATH% a wrong one will be used. Please run gpgconf -L to check that the correct version of gnupg is used. I have never used git on Window but I would suggest to remove the gnupg binaries which come with Git and adjust the gpg.exe name in the global config.

It is unlikely that we will fix it. The OL behaviour is just too flaky. It might be possible to do this in the no-preview mode in a more robust way.

No, I have no admin rights on that computer: I installed the portable version, too. I saw that the previous version had been uninstalled before installation.
On a different computer I tried to reproduce the situation where GPG4WIN had been installed the standard way. I did not see the effect there. However when upgrading I got a message that the c library could not be written; that was because some Kleopatra windows was still open. After manually closing that, a retry was successful. Other software installers close the application before trying an uninstall or update, however.
Just to be clear: You originally installed it as a portable applications and then you also installed a new version in the standard way?

Unfortunately, the attempt on my end still fails. The MSI package was successfully built; however, testing installing it on a Windows host resulted in garbled UI text and a bunch of errors.
