Hi,
first of all, thanks a lot for your work, I appreciate it very much. Unfortunately the keypad on my SCM SPR 532 card reader is not recognized. It can be used in the Terminal, but not as an input device in the authentification dialog of gpgtools. Do I have to configure something differently, or is this a known issue?

   Hi,

   no one in our team has a card reader with a pinpad, so we have never tested this case.
   Can you please send us a screencast, showing the operation with the terminal and without it?
   So i could possible fix this bug.

   Regards, Mento

   Unfortunately, I'm not able to make a screencast. Can I also describe the procedure? If so, which information do you need?

   To make a long story short: When GPGTools ask me to enter my PIN, any input on the physical keys of the card reader is not recognized. When the I use the terminal and enter the PIN there, it recognizes the use of the physical buttons of the card reader.

   As an addition. I always have to »activate« the reader using the gpg --card-status command in the terminal.

   Can you use the card reader to enter something in a "normal" terminal window or just only when gpg asks for a password?

   No, I can only input using the physical buttons on the card reader, when gpg asks for input. Otherwise it gets ignored.

   Hi,

   currently we have no support for such keypads in pinentry-mac.
   I have attached the ticket for this feature.
