Keychain requires public key to always be private key plus ".pub" about keychain HOT 5 CLOSED

This is not a feature that I personally need, so really you need to let me know what behavior would work best for you.

from keychain.

I tried several approaches to locating the pub file which were easy in bash, but which I wasn't too sure how to convert to "lowest common denominator" Borne shell syntax. Eventually I realized it might be simpler and more robust to add the full filename to the list of fingerprints, while suppressing the warning about "can't find pub file".

I noticed existing code that used basenames, but that seemed more subject to error if keys from different directories shared the same basename. I did NOT attempt to change the existing basename-centric code. Perhaps that should be done too, if this approach seems suitable for inclusion in the repo.

So here are diffs for your consideration:

OOPS, clearly I screwed the editor pooch. Funny, I can't seem to see any description of the syntax (surely its right in front of me). So I stuck the diffs in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/jy8cCY3G
