The above command line argument ``limit-card-insert-tries n`` (or the version in the config file) should limit the number of times a smart card is being asked for to ``n-1``.
The option has no effect at all.
This effects me in the following usage pattern: I have a file encrypted with two different public keys. One of those is on a yubikey (smartcard). The other key is on a tpm. When the yubikey is missing, I do **not** want to be asked to insert it. I want to be asked only about the second private key password.
Alternatively, I'd be happy if the file will be decrypted without a pinentry dialog if **any** key is already available to decrypt.
