            Bug ID: 345650
           Summary: Provide UI for OpenPGP cards
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at reimardoeffinger.de

E.g. http://files.gpg4win.org/README-2.1.1.en.txt describes using OpenPGP cards
that involves a lot of console work.
IMHO this should be possible to do from the GUI.

Operations I can think of and gpg commands that do it:

These two I consider most important and could possibly be mapped to the
existing netkey3 "learn card" option:
Get public key for card -> gpg --card-edit, fetch (or possibly keyserver search
alternatively)
link public key to smartcard (that might be a case of GnuPG being stupid, but I
had to do this after manually importing a card's public key) -> gpg
--card-status

More "advanced"/one-time commands:
generate key on card -> gpg --card-edit, admin, generate
Copy secret key to card -> gpg --edit-key, keytocard (more complex than that as
it needs to select the correct sub-key(s) etc?)
Set PIN -> gpg --card-edit, passwd
Edit key information on the card -> gpg --card-edit, name, login, url, lang,
sex

Reproducible: Always
