            Bug ID: 326395
           Summary: Export Key created in Location Other Than Specified
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

In Kleopatra (v2.2.0 in GPG4WIN v2.2.0 on Windows 7 fully patched), when
performing "Export Secret Keys", the file dialog box allows the user to select
the location where the file is written. But when exporting a file in gpg
format, the user's choice of "C:\" is ignored and the file is instead written
in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore" (which on my system is
C:\Users\{myusername}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore).
The same is true for performing "Export Certificates".

This is something that is only a trivial issue for technical users, but for
non-technical people to whom I recommend using Gpg4win it would be very
confusing when the software asks them where to save a file and then saves it
somewhere else! As GPG4Win is the premier implementation of GPG on Windows,
this would have a serious impact on usability and widespread adoption by
non-technical users.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Export Secret Keys" or "Export Certificates".
2. In the Save File dialog box instruct that the file be saved in "C:\".
Actual Results:  
The file is NOT saved in "C:\", instead it is saved in
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore" (which on my system is
C:\Users\{myusername}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore).

Expected Results:  
The file should have been saved in the location specified in the Save File
dialog box.

Tested using Windows 7 fully patched.

This problem will have a serious impact on usability for non-technical users.
