Description

Currently we have a different behavior depending on whether a OpenPGP certificate which is imported matches the criteria for bringing up the "You have imported a new certificate" window or not. (Apparently. Might be the cause is a bit different if you look at the code…)

The "Certificate Import Result" window is not shown at all if the "You have imported a new certificate" comes up on import.

It should be shown before the "You have imported a new certificate" window.

Version
Gpg4win 4.4

Event Timeline

On the other hand might 2 pop up windows after an import be annoying…
Although the second window has a "do not show again" option.
Any suggestions?

Maybe we could join the two dialogs, i.e. add the additional text and the Certify button to the import result window.

If we're looking at changing this workflow, we could also consider how those dialogs (especially the "Certificate Import Result") dialog relate to the "Imported Certificates" tab - maybe we can find a way of showing both the relevant contents of the tab and the dialog in a unified view and then no longer need the dialog

I think then we could also include this idea: https://dev.gnupg.org/T5006#195230
And thereby show this information for notepad imports, too.

Certificates imported by GpgOL in the background do not get an import tab, either.
I find the information more important for imports *not* done via Kleopatra import button.

In light of the ticket T7630 this one is obsolete
