Description Eduard Sukharev 2008-07-30 18:55:21 UTC

Version:           2.0.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), MS Visual Studio 2005 SP1)
Compiler:          cl.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.1 (XP Professional)

Well, it's just that. You open the new key pair creation dialog, you may enter any values (or may not) and then just press the 'Expert mode' button. The dialog window just disappears.

Can you please tell me if you also have "konsole" installed and usable?

Comment 2 Eduard Sukharev 2008-08-10 19:17:23 UTC

i wish i had, but Konsole isn't yet ported to Windows and i really doubt it will be in some near time :(

Comment 3 Rolf Eike Beer 2008-08-10 20:59:28 UTC

Ok, that's the reason why it does not work: KGpg calls konsole for all 
terminal stuff. Could you add a copy of cmd.exe to your path that is 
call "konsole.exe" and check again? If that works it's rather trivial to cook 
up a patch that makes this work on windows.

Comment 4 Eduard Sukharev 2008-08-27 01:42:39 UTC

Ok, found out the problem. I'm really new to gpg and that stuff and it was really due to me: i didn't know Kgpg uses some external tool named GnuPG, which has to be installed. And KGpg needs to be set up against it. Now it works fine.
