+# %f is expanded to the fingerprint of the key.
+# %% is %, of course.
+#
+# If %i or %I are not present, then the photo is supplied to the

+# input is the best way to do this as it avoids the time and effort in

+# photo-viewer "display -title 'KeyID 0x%k'"

+# use-agent
+#
+# which tries to use the agent but will fallback to the regular mode
+# if there is a problem connecting to the agent. The normal way to
+# locate the agent is by looking at the environment variable
+# GPG_AGENT_INFO which should have been set during gpg-agent startup.
+# In certain situations the use of this variable is not possible, thus
+# the option
+#
+# --gpg-agent-info=<path>:<pid>:1
+#
+# may be used to override it.
