New submission from David Faure <[email protected]>: Let's take an example: one of the gpgsm options is include-certs:16:2:number of certificates to include:2:2:N:1:: It's relatively easy to guess what this option does.... But how will users guess that -1 means "send all certificates in the chain along with a signature or the number of certificates up the chain"? (found by reading gpgsm.h), and -2 apparently means "without the root cert" (not even mentionned in gpgsm.h!). I think this calls for a new field in gpgconf, which would hold a much longer "description" for each option; we could call this field "help" for instance. In the GUI the current "description" is used as the visible label for checkboxes etc., the "help" would be used as "what's this help", used by the user to find out more about the meaning of a particular option. ---------- messages: 572 nosy: david priority: wish status: unread title: gpgconf needs new field with longer help string topic: gpg ______________________________________________________ Aegypten issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://intevation.de/roundup/aegypten/issue123> ______________________________________________________
