What does being command line or GUI have to do with anything? If qcatool can ask on the command line, you can just as well show a dialog instead of asking on the command line, right? > Currently, QCA invokes the gpg > executable (although I gather there are plans to switch to GPGME), and > there are, as far as I know, only three ways to feed gpg with a > passphrase when it needs one: > > - Have gpg request it directly on the console, as you describe, > > - Directly, on the command line (not a good idea), and > > - Via gpg-agent. > > gpg, when invoked manually, opens up a pinentry dialog, which > collects the passphrase and feeds it to gpg-agent.

That's not QCA design, the design is that the application brings up its own dialog if it needs it when it gets asked via the QCA::Event::Password request. Cheers, Albert
