Hi! While having a look at a missing feature in seahorse-nautilus [1], I did not find a way to use GPGME to figure out if a signature was a clear text signature or a detached signature.
The idea for seahorse-nautilus is to allow users to right click on a
`.asc` file and select “Verify signature…”. Ideally, if the file
contains a clear text signature, it would proceed to verify the
signature immediately. When having a detached signature, it would
eventually prompt the user about the location of the signed material.
Is there an easy way to give GPGME the file and know if it is a
clear text signature or a detached signature?
Another related question: in my tests, using the following always
failed:
err = gpgme_op_verify(ctx, sig, NULL, NULL);
It seems that the `plain` 4th argument is mandatory when verifying
cleartext signature. I don't understand the rationale for that. In
seahorse-nautilus use case, we are only interested in the validity of
the signature.
Thanks for your help!
