Of course, I could use other software if I don't like this one, but the
question is "wouldn't it be convenient to add a simple commandline
option to GPA to import a key". It's not that big of a deal, but the
idea is so obvious I'm really surprised it's not there yet.
It's not about GNOME Keyring; it's just that I've been using GnuPG and
GPA since Squeeze, and I would really like to be able to add public keys
by just "opening" them from anywhere, not only from a Thunderbird mail
attachment, and with GPA, not with something else.
I just don't want to submit a "wishlist" bug report without consulting
the users first - maybe it's already there in the newer versions?.. The
developers seem to be really busy...
