The timestamp problem may be fixed by moving the line
File ${prefix}/share/icons/breeze/icon-theme.cache
(and any other lines installing an icon-theme.cache) at the end of inst-breeze-icons.nsi (or the corresponding inst-*.nsi file).
I just learned that
Qt will make use of GTK's icon-theme.cache if present to speed up the lookup.
So on Linux, this looks quite differently.

I am pretty sure that this was related to issues we found when analyzing another crash / hang with Kleopatra. In T5478 we are currently reworking how we handle archives completely. This will fix this issue, too.

Some timings, timed with procmon and not by decorating the calls in the code. Just looking at was process does.
Putting up for grabs and removing Kleopatra tag since for Kleopatra users this has been fixed (unless they manage to trigger multiple separate concurrent imports in Kleopatra).

I do not think that this is an issue after analyzing procmon timings. It is only an installation time issue. For that there is no real reason to spend much effort on this.
Note to self after spending some time searching again for the documentation I saw previously about this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/context-menu-handlers#suppressing-verbs-and-controlling-visibility

The followup of this issue for libassuan is: https://dev.gnupg.org/T6324
As you might have seen from the commits mkportable has been removed from Gpg4win.

@ikloecker You are right, I only thought of public key import. Then lets serialize this. Might even make for a nicer Progressbar if we count the outstanding files.

For testing I have created a Gpg4win installer and only selected minimal installation and gpgme-json was there. Both in /bin and /bin_64.

I really don't want to bypass gpgme and then parse the import results and all other status output of gpgsm ourselves. I'll go for Andre's suggestion and serialize imports of multiple files.
I meant bypass the gpgme engine and call gpgsm directly. Maybe using gpgme's spawn engine. But I am not sure whether this is really a good idea. If we can find a way to pass multiple filenames to gpgsm --server that would be better. But requires updates to gpgsm.
Only just noticed that this was added incompletely, it was added to the build system but not linked in.
@werner Do I understand correctly that by "It might be easier to bypass the gpgsm and run gpgsm directly" you mean using gpgsm in server mode? Or what do you mean with "bypass gpgsm and run gpgsm" (which seems contradictory).

With 100 concurrently running gpgsm processes they all try to get the lock for the keyring. And they need to do this several times and often also for the same certificate (fetched from an external resource to complete the chain). Not good. It might be easier to bypass the gpgsm and run gpgsm directly instead of adding a feature to gpgsm to directly import from many files.
Sure, we could do this. Shouldn't make the ImportCertificatesCommand much more complex than it already is.
Reopening this as there still seem to be ways to run into a deadlock as was reported in RT#13361. While I still think this points to some issue in gpgsm, when Testing this I found the behavior of Kleopatra to be wrong.
Has been remedied. We should have noticed before the release but the heavy warnings you get only appear if the binary is downloaded from the internet.
This was an accident. Will be fixed ASAP.

Hello ...
It is not really helpful if you publish that fact anyway on a public tracker.
We sometimes grant our customers the privilege of receiving updates a few days earlier than the community. It is not really helpful if you publish that fact anyway on a public tracker. BTW, there is no community version gpg4win 3.1.26.

works
Fixed by reverting to 2.5.5

The same problem will very likely occur with any file dialog opened by Kleopatra because file dialogs are always modal. It may not be nice that people can maneuver themselves in such a situation, but how likely is it that a normal user (and not just a good test engineer who is looking for such problems) will run into this problem.
Support for multiple smart cards has been vastly improved in the last few years. I will tentatively close this as resolved because it's very likely that the problems have been resolved.
Wild guess: Since creating a local certification seems to work, but creating an exportable certification fails, maybe the problem occurs when trying to promote an existing local certification to an exportable certification.
