#1089 No way to prevent picture pop-ups

[Morgan]

I have a small jpeg image on my key (subkey). This has been the case for a long time but I recently (Feb 2021) changed my key.

Now, when I select a message to view, a pop-up image is displayed and the message is not displayed until I close the image window. If the message has embedded images, then there is a further pop-up and the embedded image isn't displayed until a second pop-up image window is closed. This is very frustrating.

How can I prevent the pop-up display of the images on my key?

Thanks.

I believe that you configured a photo-viewer in your gpg.conf file. If that's configured, GnuPG will automatically open the photo viewer if a key contains a picture.

Edit your gpg.conffile and comment out the line starting with photo-viewer

Many thanks for the pointer to gnupg - sorted now.
I actually commented out: #verify-options show-photos (which I had recently uncommented...)
