Description TokieSan 2023-06-03 15:18:41 UTC 
In the case a file is digitally signed, in most cases files would need need to have the certificate remembered rather than having the hassle of rechoosing the certificate from a set that can be very large every save which is a confusing process. 

Reproduction can be done as follows:
1. Create a document
2. Digitally sign it
3. Change something and try to redo the digital signature

Currently, I will be working on implementing the option of remembering the chosen certificate for some file as an option to the dialog of choosing the digital signature.

In addition, this issue is not only in digitally signing documents but occur as well in case of GPG encrypting a document.
