But due to the nature of this mode, it is possible that some kind of windows are not supported. |
321 |
|
Which means that the program cannot extract the text from the window. There is nothing we can do |
322 |
|
about it, because it depends on the application itself how it reacts on certain Window messages. |
323 |
|
But all windows which support the default copy/paste/select all commands should make no problems. |

If you want to start the Key Manager directly, you can create a batch |
336 |
|
file with "winpt.exe --keymanager". This way you do not have to go to |
337 |
|
the task bar enable the icon and click on the Key Manager entry in the menu. |

@subsection Verify Detached Signatures |
573 |
|
Most of the signature are detached, which means that the signature is separated from the data. |
574 |
|
Usually you need to verify a detached signature when you have downloaded a software package or |
575 |
|
an update of it. The steps to verify such a signature are easy. Just open the File Manager and |
576 |
|
drag the detached signature in the File Manager window. |
577 |
|
Now select the signature and select "Verify" either via the popup menu or the File menu. |
578 |
|
In most cases you propably need to download the verification key, before you can verify the signature. |
