Which of our tools is giving you problems?

Hi, i downloaded the software last night and i try to export my key and overtime i double click the file it comes up with a error that says ''1 key processed0 imported '' i don't know what is wrong or why this error keeps popping up but how do i fix it ?

Attach a screenshot of the version info for all installed components (how to: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info...):

Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.

What did you expect instead i thought that i would just be able to get my keys

Describe steps leading to the problem. all i did was try to export my keys to my documents file so i could retrieve them

Are you using any other Mail.app plugins? no i am not

    Hi money man,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    Please excuse the late reply. We received an overwhelming amount of feedback in regards to the GPG Suite 2018.4 release - both positive and negative. We are doing our best to catch up as fast as we can.

    What you are seeing isn't an error but actually a message showing the results of your attempted key import. You double clicked the key and since GPG Keychain was open at that time it is trying to be smart, assuming you are trying to import the key file.

    It then sees that the key you are trying to import (your own key) already resides in GPG Keychain thus it informs you that 1 key was processed but 0 imported.

    Let me know if this answers your question.

    Best,
    Steve
