Do you know that KyPass Companion could import a dynamic kdb/kdbx database or .csv file in your kdbx (KeePass v2) database ?
How ?
- Select the folder where you want to insert/update the exported entry.
- Go to File/Create Import Task
- Give a name for your task.
- Select the URL of the kdb/csv file or select directly the file from the file browser.
For the .csv file, the format is:- Line 1: <fieldname>;<fieldname>;.. with fieldname is title, username, password, url or any name for custom attributes.
- Line 2 and others, your values separated by a semicolon
- Enter the password and/or the keyfile if the import file is a kdb database.
- Check the ‘add to task’ checkbox. It will save the task in the folder you have selected previously in step 1.
- Check ‘update entries’ checkbox if you want that, when then task is launched, the entries are update and not created each time.
- Check ‘ignore groups’ checkbox if you don’t want to keep the tree in the imported kdb database.
- Click on the ‘run’ button to do the first import.
The task is now created.
Each time you want to run again the task, go in View/Display task list and select the task you want to run.
More tips soon (if you like it!)
This sounds interesting.
I created a new Group and clicked on it.
But I go to “Create Import Task”, nothing happens!
🙁
Weird.. Each time ?
Is your database a kdbx file ?
Yes, regardless where I “go” before.
When I select File -> Create Import Task, nothing happens.
I am using Version 1.8 (3293).
Sorry, I forgot: Yes, my database is a kdbx file.
It always works on my mac. Do you have tried with a new database ?
I couldn’t reproduce your bug 🙁
Yes, I created a new kdbx database where I see the 2 “Sample Entry”s.
When I then click on File -> Create Import Task, nothing happens.
Oops, I forgot:
I am using OS X 10.9.5 (13F1507) on a Mac mini.
Ok.. Maybe a old OS X error thus 🙂
Could you search in log if you found crash report for KyPass ? (console – search for Kypass)
On my Macbook the problem is the same.
It’s OS X 10.9.5 (13F1507), too.
There I found the following in the logs:
