            Bug ID: 505514
           Summary: `kleopatra --help` returns a modal stating "Unknown
                    option"
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kleopatra
      Version First 4.0.0.250402
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs

                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR

A Screenshot Of The Modal

SUMMARY

Despite Kleopatra's `--help` option not existing, it exposes parameters to a
POSIX shell, like its `--sign` flag. This shouldn't be so: if it exposes a
parameter, basic documentation should be available from `--help`.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Invoke `kleopatra --help`.

OBSERVED RESULT

A modal appears stating "Unknown option".

EXPECTED RESULT

It should return the help in the CLI.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As discussed at
https://forum.gnupg.org/t/kleopatra-command-line-to-sign-file/3857/5?u=rokejulianlockhart.

Should I also file a bug at
https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided&product=docs.kde.org for the
documentation at
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kleopatra/kleopatra/commandline-options.html#:~:text=kleopatra%20%2D%2Dhelp
being incorrect? I presume not, since the fix is on Kleopatra's side, rather
than the docs'. I would fix it myself temporarily, but I've been unable to
locate its source.
