Description Andreas Moog 2009-02-28 00:49:39 UTC 
p12 is quite a common format, and my keys are in it. all key files is grossly inaccurate and generally (except when the number is huge like gimp and all the oteher options are there) there should never only be this option on a file selector.
(End original report)

My suggestion is to change the phrase "all key files" to "all supported files" and to display the 3 most often used extensions as selection choice.

Stef do we support this along with PKCS #11?
Comment 2 Stef Walter 2009-02-28 19:38:45 UTC 
We will, but time ran out for 2.26. I'm sorry. The infrastructure for importing all those kinds of files PKCS12, PEM, etc... is there. 

Seahorse will need one or more changes to its import infrastructure in order to support this, and the UI and feature freezes hit before I could finish working on the code.

Is this bug still present? Is it fixed? If not, why hasn't it been fixed? (aka bump)
Comment 4 Stef Walter 2012-02-29 21:00:11 UTC 
Nope not present. We can read and import all those formats now as long as there's a place to store them.
