Description Emanuel Schütze 2008-11-26 18:03:48 UTC

Version:           2.0.4 (using 4.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                MS Windows

For a better usability we have to improve Kleos decrypt dialog (in GpgOL):

The user should sets an option if he wants to show/hidden a "decryption succeeded." message (like the option "Keep open after operation completed" in sign/enc message dialogs).
Default setting: show dialog.
Is this easy to realize? If not: Do the minimal solution.

Minimal solution: 
Never show the "decryption succeeded" dialog.
Only show a decrypt dialog if an error/conflict happens or other messages comes back from decryption.

Background: Confirm/close every decryption succeeded dialog could be very nerved. This should be improved.

I second this wish!

I receive a lot of messages that are digitally signed either using S/MIME or PGP. Each of these messages opens a separate Kleopatra window that needs to be closed again (I'm using Outlook 2007 with Gpg4Win - GpgOL, Kleopatra, ...).

This is one of the major reasons why I currently cannot fully recommend Gpg4Win/Kleopatra.


My recommendation to solve this issue:

1) Only show errors and signatures from untrusted keys in a separate window. I reckon the average user doesn't want to be informed if everything is alright. The only advantage I see is that currently a user does NOT get a message-box, if an e-mail is NOT signed and might get suspicious that it might be a fake e-mail.

2) Give feedback to GpgOL so that the plug-in can handle the results. My favorite solution would be a colored bar displayed above the messages (just as other email clients do it).

3) Maybe: Add some kind of auto-close function to the window, so that it will close automatically after 10 seconds (I use a multi-display screen and the kleopatra windows often pop up on the other screen so I won't even notice the 30+ windows ...)

Needs more discussion. I'll check this issue with current Kleopatra/GpgOL and Gpg4win.

Oh god, please add this option. Since every mail in my inbox is encrypted and I get a pop-up every time I click any email. 

Quite maddening.
