improve default column view for main window

Reported by steve | August 11th, 2014 @ 04:09 PM | in 1.2b1 (closed)

Let's further tweak the default view of the main window:

  • hide comment column (comments are mostly entered, while making false assumptions what the implications are - mostly useless, often false statements like "this is the real new key" but then again passphrase is lost, etc pp): we simply should not display this column by default
  • remove Short ID column and option to display Short ID: those are too insecure and should not be used. Let's instead only offer the long ID
  • rename ID (long) to ID

So GPG Keychain Access does not use Short ID at all.

    • State changed from “new” to “verified”
    • Assigned user set to “Mento”
    • Milestone set to 1.2b1

    Fixed.

    Comment column gone.
    Short ID renamed to Key ID.
    Long ID gone from Key Inspector, we now show Key ID (which is the short ID) + Fingerprint. That is sufficient and less confusing.
