Hi,

Kleopatra 2.1.1
Kleopatra Handbook
Chapter 3 : File Menu

File -> Export Secret Keys ..

contrary to what is stated in this manual, "Exports both the public and the
secret key to a file.",  Kleopatra only exports the secret key.

I have tried this several times and the public key is not contained in the
exported keyblock - as verified by using the ascii armour option.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------

It would also be useful to add a note stating that the filename and path have
both to be defined.  The dialog box opened by Kleopatra when exporting is
misleading in this respect and if you don't use the icon to open the directory
structure and select a suitable directory, the saved file cannot be found
(does not exist ?).  When the file structure icon is pressed, the default path
seems to be :

\program files(x86)\GNU\GnuPG\   (at least under Windows7 64bit)

but I have never been able to find a saved file in this directory even though
Kleopatra says it has been successfully saved.  An attempt to save again into
this default structure shows the first file and queries whether to overwrite
it.   But when using windows explorer to try to locate the file, it cannot be
found (I don't have any hidden files - my conclusion is that the file was not
saved).  If the default path is changed to something different, the saved file
can later be found easily.

This whole exporting process is not well explained in the manual.
