Description: OpenPGP: don't show confirmation dialog when Certificate Manager was launched successfully Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a writer document, type anything and save 2. open File > Digital Signature > Digital Signatures > Start Certificate Manager Actual Results: When GPG Suite is installed on macOS, GPG Keychain opens (expected). LibreOffice shows a confirmation dialog stating: "Information: You have opened the certificate manager at /Applications/GPG Keychain.app" OK Expected Results: That dialog has no value. The certificate manager will open above existing open windows so always be visible to the user. There really is no need to bother the user to click OK for an action they can visually see in front of themselves. Showing a dialog is a great idea, but only when there is a problem and things need fixing. WHen things work as expected I'd prefer to not complicate user workflows unnecessarily.

Confirming on Debian-12 + KDE-Plasma where Kleopatra is being opened. The dialog window was added in this commit. https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/92b6ffcd9f687cc54a0fc3801ca85c7e4d77512f%5E%21/#F6 (In reply to steve from comment #0) > [...] > Expected Results: > [...] > Showing a dialog is a great idea, but only when there is a problem and > things need fixing.

Actually when starting the Certificate Manager fails, the standard dialog comes up anyway. Telling you You have opened the certificate manager at ... Although no certificate manager was started. TESTING THE CERTIFICATE MANAGER FAILING TO START: It looks like, if a Certificate Manager is available, it gets automatically set in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Security as "Certificate Manager". For Debian-12 with KDE-Plasma that's /usr/bin/kleopatra But if you uninstall the certificate manager afterwards, LibreOffice keeps that setting. And if you click on "Certificate Manager" it unsuccessfully tries to start the configured Certificate Manager. see also: related bug 156979 certificate manager path reset to default when certificate manager opened So I'd say, first an error message must be provided in case starting the certificate manager fails. And the field in the Options should behave in a more intuitive way. I think the best choice is not to permanently set a "Certificate Manager" automatically. But to use the automatic choice only for that very moment (not storing it).
