I would like to know what are the default algos used by the qubes-os, and how to change it.

I execute following in my vault-safe VM (using gpg-split, with work VM as a frontend).

user@vault-safe:~$ gpg --edit-key mykey
user@vault-safe:~$ setpref SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 AES192 AES CAST5 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP Uncompressed
user@vault-safe:~$ save

When I than execute
user@vault-safe:~$ gpg --clearsign -u mykey
than the hash is  Hash: SHA256. Why If I setpref the SHA512 first? Shouldnt it be the SHA512 instead?

With
user@vault-safe:~$ gpg --clearsign -u mykey --digest-algo SHA512
...it returns the right Hash: SHA512

How do I set the SHA512 as a default algo?
