Importing keys from clipboard #31

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be usefull if i can import keys from clipboard. So i can search
the missing key on public keyservers in the internet and copy them. This
can be a transitional solution while the keyserver search isn't included.

1.0.2 comes with a few new ways to import keys (opening the files via file 
manager and being able to import by forwarding the key text via SEND or 
somesuch), which will allow clipboard import also. The only reason it isn't 
included yet is that I haven't decided which way to do it in the GUI.

Preferences are welcome. Currently I'm thinking something like a checkbox in 
the "Import Key" dialog, which is enabled if there is key data in the 
clipboard, and which then disables the filename controls.

However, it could also be checked the moment APG is started, and a dialog could 
offer to import public/secret keys, or be cancelled... if one of the imports is 
selected, then it could go directly to the respective key list.

One disadvantage of the latter is that one has to start APG after copying the 
key, and the user would never know this is possible, because until he tries it 
he wouldn't know that APG can handle it. The other way seems a little less 
elegant, but at least the (disabled) checkbox can be seen when files are 
imported already.
