    Hello!
    This software is awsome.
    Maybe you could consider adding following features:
    1. The ability to add an entry based on a template in main window context menu "Add Entry...". Just like on the main toolbar.
    2. Right click option to "Configure Columns..." (on list headers and/or in the list). Just like in "View"
    3. Group based "Configure Columns...". Maybe some custom fields are present only in one group and other fields in some other group. So you can always see only the columns that are relevant for you in the given group.
    4. Manually rearrange custom fields' ordering in entry dialog Advanced tab. Then this sorting would be used in the entry dialog, in "Show entry view" and when printed.
    Thank you for your efforts.

    My thoughts on these:

    1. Sounds reasonable. The only problem I see with that is that some people don't like having too many things in the context menus, which would lead to requests for a configuration option for this, which would lead to complaints from those who think there are already too many configuration options. What's really needed is a generalized UI allowing user customization of all the menus and the toolbar - but that's a major project that's been on the back burner for a long while.
    2. As above, but also, I've personally always thought this function belonged on a separate menu accessed by right clicking the column headers.
    3. This is likely impossible, because there are no group-based limitations for custom fields. This may be how you use them, but others can and likely will do things differently.
    4. Right now, custom fields are always shown in alphabetical order by field name. I suppose it could be possible to specify an alternate order, but the entry dialog seems like the wrong place to set it.

    I am pretty sure the KPEncancedEntry view plugin allows re-ordering of custom fields. I do not know if that affects print order, however. Edit: apparently I was wrong.

    If KPEEV has reordering, I can't find it.

      My mistake. I had memories of re-ordering a bunch of custom strings for a bunch of credit card info I was storing on the entry for the shared website I would log into to manage them. But I cannot find any such feature either. I must have actually deleted and re-added strings until they were in the desired order, or something like that.

    I don't think even that would work. AFAICT, fields are always sorted by name, and nothing I've tried has been able to change that.
