## Deletion operations ## Key Deletion UX/Revocation
* really delete? -> revocation? **Brief explanation:** When deleting a key the user should be asked to revoke the key if it is a secret one instead of just deleting it. Deleting a secret key should be considered an expert option, the average user should not do. Furthermore, revocation certificates should be supported in general. As part of the key generation process and for revoking a key at a later point in time.
* revocation certificates
**Expected results:** Better UX when deleting keys/Support for revocation certificates

## File Decryption Screen ## File Decryption Screen
**Brief explanation:** Currently the file decryption screen in OpenKeychain only allows to decrypt one file at a time and only allows saving of decrypted files into the filesystem. While this is okay for simple scenarios. The decryption process could result in many files being decrypted. Either when multiple files are shared together using Android's [ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE](http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive.html#handling-content) or when the OpenPGP data structure contains many parts. Thus, the screen should be extended for multiple files. A list of files should be displayed like done in the encryption screen that with the options save/open per file item. To get the right content type and decrypt the filename the new internal DECRYPT_METADATA functionality of OpenKeychain should be used. The real payload should be decrypted when save/open is clicked. Furthermore the recipient's key user id should be displayed inside the item. **Brief explanation:** Currently the file decryption screen in OpenKeychain only allows to decrypt one file at a time and only allows saving of decrypted files into the filesystem.

Also "detached signatures" should be supported by the new decryption screens. An internal method has already been done during the work on PGP/MIME. This can be used, but needs a carefully designed UI. Also "detached signatures" should be supported by the new decryption screens.
