  Works as designed?

  This means in order to see my own public key I cannot use GPGKeychain.
  I have to use the command line "gpg2 --list-keys" which properly
  displays my public key infos?

  It is somehow misleading that I have to export my "sec" key
  to get the "pub" key of my own.

  Regards, Axel.

  The secret and the public key are a key pair. In the GPG Keychain Access you see this key pair.
  Why should you only want to see the public?

  pub = Public key only.
  sec = Public and secret key.

  I want to see both!
  That is exactly my problem because in the current version
  I just see the secret key listed.

  Hi Axel, maybe there is a "communication issue" between Mento and you ;) Maybe you could write what you would like to see in this form:

  1. Workflow:
     1.1. Step 1
     1.2. Step 2
     
  2. Expected:
     2.1. To see XYZ
     
  3. Instead:
     3.1. I see ZYX

  Currently the only difference I can see is that my secret key is bold and the type is called "sec" instead of "pub". But all the relevant information are shown.

  1. Workflow
     I open GPGKeychain and see my own key entry in bold with type "sec".

  2. Expectation
     I expected to see my own key as type "pub" and after opening the
     tree I would see the "sec" part as well
     or
     I see the "sec" part and after clicking the triangle I would see
     my "pub" key too.
     

  3. Instead
     I can only see the "sec" part which I assume to be the secret key only.
     I do not dare to export the "sec" key because I don't want my secret
     key ever exported. Instead after starting an export I see a deselected
     checkbox which prevents secret key export.
     My own public key is not explicitly listed.

  Hope this makes things clear now.
  Of course it is your design decision. Normal users might be misguided by
  the current implementation IMHO.

  Cheers, Axel.

  Why do you want to see the public and the secret key?
  This makes, in my opinion, no sense.

  • State changed from “resolved” to “hold”

  This makes, in my opinion, no sense.

  @Mento: It doesn't make any sense because the information are the same? So "sec" only means that you have the secret key, too?

  I can only see the "sec" part which I assume to be the secret key only.

  @Axel: I think this assumption is not correct.

  My own public key is not explicitly listed.

  Would it make sense to write "sec+pub" instead of only "sec"?

  Mento February 22nd, 2011 @ 11:50 AM

  Yes and yes.

  "sec+pub" would make sense, except that the column is too narrow.

  Then maybe:

  • pub (usually)
  • sec (is there a case were you only have the secret key?)
  • both (your own key)

  Mento February 22nd, 2011 @ 11:56 AM

  You can’t only have the secret key!
  Public only or both.

  • State changed from “hold” to “resolved”

  Fixed in 0.8.4b.

  Double click any key in your list to get to the key-inspector. There you'll now find the info "Public key" or "Secret and public key".

  Kudos to Mento!
