<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>The skr file format used by a Symantec software which was deprecated in 2011. Assume it stands for Symantic Key Ring or something along those lines. I have no experience personally with that file format. It seems to behave identical to the key format used by GPG Keychain.</p>
<p>I am able to reproduce this in a scenario where I export two secret keys and enter the wrong password of the first key pinentry is asking about. The import process is stopped.</p>
<p>The terminal behaves identical:</p>
<pre>
<code>gpg --import secret_keys.asc</code>
</pre>
<p>So this is expected behavior.</p>
<p>I would suggest you bring up this question at the <a href="https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html">gnupg users mailling list</a> as there a better chances of people familiar with that file format.</p>
<p>Please do report back any findings as this might help other users running into the same situation.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
Steve</p></div>Steve
