Hi, The latest version of PasswordSafe, 2.04, has a new feature, "lock on workstation lock", that causes problems with unsaved data changes in the database. Specifically, if you change (modify, add or delete entries) the database, and the program "locks" before you saved your changes, the changes will be lost. In the worst case, if you save without unlocking the database, the *entire* database will be lost. Until we fix this (in the next release), the workaround is simple: If you use the "lock database on workstation lock" (enabled by default), then enable Manage->Options->Misc->Save database immediately after Edit or Add. Thanks to the users who've reported this. Cheers, Rony |

Rony, I am not sure if this a feature yet to be developed or one that already has but doesn't work? When I wanted to drag an entry from its current position to its new position, I have to "stop off on the way" if the new position is not visible in the window! Then I would have to scroll the entries displayed in the window so I could continue the "drag & drop" to my intended destination. What I would expect is that if I "drag" it up to the top of what is displayed in the window then it would start to scroll what is visible upwards so that I can "drop" it in my intended place. Similarly, if it "drag" it down to the bottom of what is displayed in the window then it would start to scroll what is visible downwards. Am I missing something? Maybe an option or something? Best regards, David |

There is already an enhancement request for this: http://minilink.org/sourceforge.net/o6.php No one is currently working on it. > > When I wanted to drag an entry from its current position to its new > position, I have to "stop off on the way" if the new position > is not visible > in the window!

Hi David, You're not missing anything. What's missing is a small piece of code to = take care of this in MyTreeCtrl.cpp. Any takers?
