Description zerohalo 2005-05-19 18:07:17 UTC 
Version details: 0.7.9

It would seem that by opening a key file (ie, mykey.asc) from Nautilus with
Seahorse should automatically import that key into the keyring, or else prompt
the user and ask them whether they would like to import the keyring. (Enigmail
does this nicely when you try to open an attachment that's a key.) Is that
possible to add?

Thanks. This used to work with Nautilus 2.8. 

Committed a fix to the stable branch.

Note that the tack taken by GPG (and we've asked about this on the mailing list)
is that it is an inherently safe operation to import any key. So seahorse
doesn't ask for permission first (as GPG doesn't really let the user know
*what's* in the file before importing), but it lets you know it's been imported.
