80115 - [RFE] Support right-click file signing (signtool)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(NSS :: Tools, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Bob Lord]

The "certutil" program should be enhanced to allow a user to right-click on a
file to sign a file.  The steps would look something like:
-right-click on the file to be signed
-a pop-up called "Digitally Sign" (or something similar) appears
-the user selects this option
-the system asks the user which cert to use for signing, and the user makes a
selection
-the user types his/her password
-the system creates a signature file next to the file selected in the first step

I meant "signtool", not "certool".

[Mitchell Stoltz (not reading bugmail)]

Excellent idea. Alternatively, make it a "drop-in" - drop a file onto the
signtool icon and a signature is created.

Comment 3

[Bob Lord]

Yes, it should support drag-and-drop as well.  Good point.

"Future" target implies P4.

Are we talking about adding a GUI for signtool here ?
Is this really something we want to do ? I would recommend closing WONTFIX .

A Windows GUI is not a priority for NSS command-line tools . We should not add one to signtool .
