            Bug ID: 314341
           Summary: Temporary files remain after encrypting
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Great program but from time to time the encryption process leaves a temporary
file (or at least I'm assuming that is what they are) which has same name and
size as the encrypted file .. the file has a 6 hex digit extension (e.g.
.gpg.Fu6680 ) each encryption (usually) creates an additional temp file.

I usually delete these files periodically (although they remain open/locked in
Kleopatra whilst its running) and no ill seems to occur .. just a little wary
that there may be information there that weakens security.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Take a (big file e.g. 4mb)
2.encrypt using personal key (and select delete original option)
3.look in directory of original file (encrypted fiel there also!)
Actual Results:  
Temporary file visible

Expected Results:  
deleted the file completely?

Not sur eif it presents any security weakening
