Keepassxc: Add a button in the settings to automatically rename every "KeePassHttp Settings" attributes to "KeePassXC-Browser Settings"

Created on 1 Mar 2018  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

First of all thank you all for this 2.3.0 release, I was really looking forward to it and it's really good!

I just spent a bit of time manually renaming the KeePassHttp Settings attributes in all my entries and I thought that a button to magically do it would be cool!
I'm not sure if working on such feature is worth-it because I think by the time you can ship it out most people would have done it manually, but here it goes anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Expected Behavior

Have a feature that can automatically rename every "KeePassHttp Settings" labeled attributes in every entries by "KeePassXC-Browser Settings" in order to not have to do it manually.

Current Behavior

There's no such feature so you either have to rename manually every attributes in every entries or re-validate every entry access when you visite a website after switching to KeePassXC-Browser.

Possible Solution

Add a button in the section concerning Browser Integration in the settings that will do what I said in the Expected Behavior.

Context

I just spend 15min renaming them manually one by one.

Nope. Just wait for the update. This should be included in 2.3.2.

I think a button in the browser settings view to "Convert legacy http extension settings" would be very useful. Great suggestion.

After this PR https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/1497 the data will be saved to custom data instead of attributes. So maybe a button that does convert the legacy settings from attributes to custom data would be needed. This would of course convert newer KeePassXC-Browser attributes too.

That's a brilliant idea.
Is there any workaround besides manually renaming every single entry?

Nope. Just wait for the update. This should be included in 2.3.2.

Fixed with #1497
