Thanks for creating this plugin, it seems really useful.

However, I haven't been able to use it. The first time I tried to run it with Keepass 2.39.1 it failed to load with the attached error. Can you assist?

I've just tried updating to 2.39.1 and it still works fine for me. Could you try running KeePass with the --debug parameter? It should produce a temporary output file with details about why it couldn't load the plugin, which would give me a clue.

That's strange then, hopefully means it's easy to fix. I've attached the output from the --debug for you to examine. Thanks.

From the look of that, it seems that there are bits of the .NET Framework missing. I'm not really sure why that would be, but you could try downloading it directly and installing it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/on-windows-10#net-framework-472

Yeah it does look like there are missing files or something. However, I've tried to install .NET but it says it's already installed and I've tried the .NET repair too to no avail.

The only article I can see that looks slightly useful is this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20490857/visual-studio-getting-error-metadata-file-xyz-could-not-be-found-after-edi/
Not sure if this is anything you could look into?

Hi, sorry turns out I required .NET framework 3.5 which I didn't have installed.

Final thing, is there a way to activate this for all entries? (Using XML replace etc.)

Thanks for letting me know. It's not intentional that it should require 3.5; I'll investigate and try and remove that dependency for the next version.

You can change the default auto-type sequence for all entries by right clicking on the root "KeePass" group in the tree and selecting "Edit Group", then switching to the "Auto-Type" tab. This will apply to all entries in that group, and all entries in sub groups that are set to inherit from the parent group. This doesn't override any custom auto-type sequences you may have assigned to specific entries or groups, so if you have any of those you will have to review them individually to decide whether or how to include the password box check.

That's alright, glad I could be of some help. That would be useful if you could do that!

Ahh right that's simple then, thanks for your help.
