Re: "Broken Identity Import Behavior"
Yes, Lagrange has no file chooser dialogs on desktop platforms. It does support native file pickers on iOS and Android, though.
This is a known issue and at some point I'll need to implement three versions of this: a platform-independent basic chooser, macOS native picker, and Windows native picker.
In the meantime, I could add a simple dialog button for pasting from clipboard (this actually exists in the mobile version).

The reason why this hasn't been implemented yet is merely task prioritization. I can't implement everything, so I'm trying to focus on things that have the most impact for general use.
Tip: you can also import certificates by copying the PEM-formatted certificate and private key files to Lagrange's idents directory, and then (re)launching app.
Thank you @skyjake, clearly this isn't high-priority. Just saw the "config/lagrange/idents" directory. "config/lagrange/idents.lgr" seems to be the file that stores the identity <=> capsule mappings ?

Yeah, idents.lgr contains the identity metadata (activations, notes).

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure it was somewhere in the documentation...
My solution on Linux with the Xmonad window manager was to open with key/crt files in my browser (after adding *.txt) to the filenames and then using CUA cut & paste.
Thanks for a nice piece of software, BTW!
Broken Identity Import Behavior — Missing file chooser for importing identities The interface for importing an identity breaks with usual practice because there is no file chooser and it does not support traditional middle click paste behavior. We don't all use drag-and-drop enable desktop environments or those which support CUA style cut and paste.
