Interfaces – Observations

SUMMARY
Using the tool is intuitive. Here is an enhancements request that might be
relevant.

OBSERVATIONS
1. In main view, Files | New Key Pair... – Two tasks are covered under that
menu-entry: creations either of keys alone or key pairs.
2. While the steps involved in those creations are still going on, and at least
one option has been manually selected, despite mention 'Certify' is a default
usage of these creations cases (kleopatra_3.1.4_interface_1), this mention is
omitted from Review Parameters (kleopatra_3.1.4_interface_2).
3. In main view, listed certificates come along with current categories from
Name to Key ID in columns (kleopatra_3.1.4_interface_4; they may be arranged
according to those categories as well.

APPLICABLE ENHANCEMENTS
1. 'New Key Pair...'-named menu-entry would be named accordingly to the
available tasks; example of models: 'New Key Pair or Key alone...', 'New Key
alone or Key Pair...'.
2. Mention 'Certify' would be present as it is the case under Subkeys details
-nemed window (kleopatra_3.1.4_interface_3) while a certificate has been
selected for opening then More Details clicked.
3. Consider adding category 'Usage' as well, which would deal with toggled
use-cases, like 'Certify'. That's the way that would suit me in everyday use.
