Kleopatra: Add card action to restore gpgsk backup file to a new card
Open, WishlistPublic

Description

We have for over a year now a backup format for secret (sub)keys .gpgsk which is generated when you move a key to a smart card and choose to make a backup of the key on disk.

We do not have an import option for that. This ticket is the Kleopatra part of the task. The gpg part is covered by T6956.

I (try to) restore the original content of this file, as I mixed up backup formats .gpgsm with sk_keyID.gpg.
As the .gpgsm format is put on hold currently, I'll set this to wishlist for the moment.

The new ticket for sk_keyID.gpg restore is T8339: Draft: Kleopatra: Add option to generate a new key on card using a sk_keyID.gpg backup file to restore the encrypt key
