BUG: Import key workflow unhelpful
Importing a key generated externally from "GPG Keychain Access" is at best, puzzling, and at worst, infuriating.
What I did:
I had a text file with a public and private key that I named Avery.asc. I tried to import it into GPGKA. I got a slide down menu with some cryptic numbers and letters. I didn't know what to do so I hit the 'close' button. The key didn't appear in the table.
On a whim, I closed the application and reopened it. Voila, the key was there.
There are two issues:
1) After importing a key, I shouldn't get a weird window with
cryptic messages. Furthermore, this shouldn't be a text field that
I can type into.
2) After importing a key, I should see the key show up in the
table.
That said, I'm really pleased with this project. Thanks for your hard work.

These are two known problems.
But we have too few developers, so we can't fix all bugs in a short time.
