bug: photo shown of sender of all messages previewed in any folder

I'm using the latest 2.0 release (build 505) on a latest OS X release (10.8.4).

When I click on my Sent mailbox Mail.app opens up my own photo (as it is included in my public key) N times where N is the number of emails sent signed by my key (i.e., hundreds).

I suggest that the photo embedded in a public key should only be shown if (a) it is not the current user and perhaps (b) when requested.

    Hi kiniry,

    we've just released a new version of GPG Suite 3 days ago which might fix this exact problem.
    Please download it from https://s3.amazonaws.com/gpgtools/GPG%20Suite%20-%202013.07.31.dmg
    and let us know if that fixes your problem.

    Thanks!

    The problem still exists. On running Mail.app after the install a half dozen photos of myself popped up as there are messages in my Inbox CCed to myself that are signed.

    Hmm… then I have to ask, what exactly do you mean by photos pop up?
    Could you maybe create a quick video for us using Quicktime?
    That might help us to better understand the problem

    I have debugged the situation. In my gpg.conf I included this line:

    verify-options show-photos

    Thus, every time GPG is triggered (either manually by me or automatically by your plugin) to verify a signature it runs GPG's photo-viewer defined app, which is my case is just "open %I". Disabling this option makes things behave better.

    I suggest that this issue be added to your Knowledge Base.

    (FWIW, my GPG Keychain Access will no longer run after installing your point release. See the attached photo for the modal popup.)

    Ah ok, this of course explains the situation.
    It indeed makes sense to add this to the knowledge base.

    As for the GKA problem, we've only recently added a much stronger check against tampering, but wondering why it's acting up in your case.
    Did this happen immediately after you opened it after the installtion?

    Yes, it happened immediately after the new install completed. GKA no longer runs for me.

    Would you mind coming over to our live chat at http://www.hipchat.com/gi8zHW4K3

    It'd be great to learn a little bit more about your system setup, in order to avoid such troubles.
    We'll also send you a new version of GPG Keychain Access which will run.

    During the chat we diagnosed that the problem had to do with the manner in which the installer was writing files.

    Rather than a full replacement of the package contents, only an over-write was happening, thus my GPG Keychain Access.app contained surprising files that Apple's security framework rejected.

    The current work-around is to delete GKA.app entirely before upgrading to 1.1.1.

    I suggest that this discussion be closed.

    Fixed in latest nightly. When now importing a revocation certificate, the user will see a message informing about the consequences and will have to confirm the import first before any damage can be done.
