Tools->GnuPG Log Viewer...

Starts KWatchGnuPG, a tool to present the debug output of GnuPG application. If signing, encryption, or verification mysteriously stop working, you might find out why by looking at the log.

Tools->Refresh X.509 or OpenPGP Certificates

Refreshing X.509 or OpenPGP certificates implies downloading all certificates and CRLs, to check if any of them have been revoked in the meantime.

This can put a severe strain on your own as well as other people's network connections, and can take up to an hour or more to complete, depending on your network connection, and the number of certificates to check.

Tools->Clear CRL Cache

Clears the GpgSM CRL cache.

You probably never need this. You can force a refresh of the CRL cache by selecting all certificates and using Tools->Refresh Certificates instead.

Tools->Dump CRL Cache

Shows the detailed contents of the GpgSM CRL cache.

Tools->Configure GnuPG Backend...

Opens a dialog that allows you to configure every aspect of GpgSM and other backend modules.

This dialog is dynamically built from the output of the GpgConf utility and may thus change when backend modules are updated.
