Description

When exporting a certificate, a filename is suggested. This contains for the most part no white space except in the name of the certificate, e.g. Ted Tester_0x005F36A4_public.asc

Please convert any white spaces in the name to underscores "_".

Fixed everywhere where we export some certificate or public/secret (sub)key. Additionally, to space characters we also replace /, \, and : everywhere in the (proposed) file names now.

Note:

  • The exported keyid in vsd is 0xshort, in gpg4win 0xlong. Is this intended?

This is kind of intended in the sense that in newer Kleopatra all usage of the short key ID was replace by the (long) key ID, but it wasn't deemed necessary (by me) to backport this change.
