Separate XML export for types and accounts

Postby Danyar on Wed Mar 05, 2008

Hi Harry,

I noticed, that when exporting to XML you have to export and import account types and accounts together. It would be nice, if both could be written to separate files.

Although it is nice to save the sensible account information as XML as well, I think it's not good practice, because the idea of LockCrypt is to encrypt it anyway. By separating the export, you can create and export new types to an unencrypted XML file without having to delete the sensible account information from it. And of course you can import them to another database without the account information.

I could add a way to separate them in the future.

Could we also have a way to export a single account or a subgroup into XML file without having to export the entire database?

Do you mind me asking why you'd need to do that?

Let's say you want to export just a few accounts to another database - and you don't really feel like searching through a 100k XML file and editing it? :razz:

Fair enough, I'll add it in a future version.
