Description Olivier Vitrat 2008-02-23 16:34:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464658

Multiple files can not be signed from the command line:

$ kgpg -e file1 file2 file3  (to encrypt) works great!

but

$ kgpg -S file1 file2 file3  (to sign) does not work.

I assume this is an oversight, as I can't imagine any reason to allow 
multiple encryption but prevent multiple signing.  I think both should 
be allowed.
Comment 1 Rolf Eike Beer 2008-02-24 16:19:03 UTC 
The reason for this is gpg: there is no way to tell it to sign multiple files with detached signatures.

I'll implement this in trunk so it will be in KDE 4.1 and then see if I can backport it easily.
