It is just a start but hopefully a bit useful. It features an automatic detection of the card type and as of now displays information on OpenPGP cards and some stuff from tyhe German Geldkarte. Changing the OpenPGP data is not yet possible, but you may create a new keys on the card. In the key editor you will now see an icon for smartcard based keys and the subkey listing prints the serial number of the key. That icon is a bit fuzzy and I don't know how to fix that. Help needed. "gpa --card" brings up the card manager as default window. As usual with new developments you need the latest supporting libraries and tools to make it work. GPA should build withy older libraries but tehre won't be a card manager then. gpg-agent and scdaemon are required at runtime. Thus get the latest gpgme and gnupg from SVN and instal them before you configure the current GPA. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Auschnahme regelt ein Bundeschgesetz.
