Howdy. MPM2 looks swell, and so far works great in Gentoo. Would you release this for my Mac OS X and ...shudder... Windows friends?
Thanks for FPM2! :)
I'm trying to import from revelation, which can (supposedly) export to
FPM (not 2) format, a basic XML format and others.
If I try to export to the FPM format and import with FPM2 I'm told
"File is not XML?". Note that there's obviously something broken with
the export, since passwords don't appear to be encrypted at all!
If I export to the (unencrypted) XML format and try to import with
FPM2 I'm told "File is not valid FPM2 password file.".
Any hints? Is there some sort of unencrypyted format that FPM2 will
import?
Thanks...
peace & happiness,
martin
For your first release (or beta) with keepass plugin, use libkpass.
It works only with the version 1 (*.kdb)

Coming from fpm I've yet to discover the new features of fpm2. Anyway I appreciate your effort in maintenance and a new development.
FPM2 is certainly great regarding reliability. I've used it for years with a steadily growing password file (60+ entries now) - no problems.
FPM2 is future-save, looking at the smooth migrations so far. All I had to do is copying the ~/.fpm folder and it was with me on any Linux system I wanted it. As already mentioned, one of the most wanted goodies would be import of other password file formats, and even output to be more kindly - despite it's more a problem for another application, if it want's to import from FPM2, right? Who want's to go away from it in the first place. ;-)
Currently I'm seeking a "Don't remember me" switch, preferably for the INI file to get rid of the always popping question to migrate to the new password file format - I just want to do it later, if the new program version has finally landed at all my machines (Ubuntu for now, waiting for Debian).
Again, thank you for your work, and I wish you much more spare time and good luck programming in the FOSS community.
I've created a simple Python script to convert a bunch of plain text files to an XML file that FPM2 can import.
The usage instructions are in the script.

Enjoy! Perhaps Aleš can add it to the distribution? I think such example of how to create the XML file for import would be useful. I used it to import my 300+ website passwords into FPM2.
