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
                     [ close ]

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...something, anything.
