Proposal for a quick but efficient fix. It might look like that (consensus with Aleš and Dirk): * change as least as possible the text of the UI, in order to avoid to change it in many langages at once * make the checkbox "Show advanced options" checked by default (please see attached screenshot) * add a default explanation text in the CSR input field (text box) where the CSR has to be pasted * such a text might look like that: "Please pay attention that Certificate Signing Request is not optional anymore. It is mandatory to copy and paste a CSR into this box. The certificate generation won't work in case you do not provide a CSR. Please clear this text and paste your CSR here." * ideally, such text should be in written grey, in the background of the CSR input field, then disapear by itself as soon as the user pastes a CSR or type any character in the input box.

@alkas - I think some of your wishes will be fulfilled when 1551 is re-implemented. It was, briefly, but then the signer crashed and was restored using a backup which didn't have the new/current code. The wiki also mentions this new, much easier method. https://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/Keygen And, IIRC, it was you who created the even better wiki page with images on how to use the new method. :-) https://wiki.cacert.org/TutorialsHowto/Generate-new-CSR |
