Bug Description
This is more of a UI/UX bug.
1) Import/create enough keys that you have quite a few keys, from a variety of different times, people, etc.
2) Keys->Import keys
3) Select file for public key $PKA from pseudanonymous person $A, then hit Open
4)
What happens:
result:
1 public keys read
1 public keys imported
0 public keys unchanged
0 secret keys read
0 secret keys imported
0 secret keys unchanged
Which is...fantastic. Except ...who did I just add? If I'm not on a first name basis with such person I might not know whether the key that I added was Lukas Grossar (key created in 2013) or Anonymous Coward (key created in 2017). I have *no idea* what change I just made to a list of upwards of thousands of keys. Presumably I have their public key so I can send secure messages to them...but...who are they?
What should happen:
when the 'result' window is popped up it should give you some kind of indication of who's keys just got atted. Merely saying 1 public keys read' is not enough. Highlight the most recently added key...have a list of the names of public keys imported.
