New plugin to add to website? SimpleSelectionExport

[Mark Szymanski]

Since I often find myself needing to export simple summary information of accounts from the main window, I decided to write a plugin that allows you to select any entry, then right-click and choose to export basic data to a flat TXT or CSV. I understand most other export plugins make use of true export to other KeePass dbs and rely on organizational structuring like tags, but I think this would be helpful to others who might need to export to a simple format from a less well-structured repository.

Could this plugin be added to the KeePass plugins directory list in the "Export" category? Any contributions/advice also welcome! Thanks!

Your plugin has been added to the plugins page:
https://keepass.info/plugins.html#simpleselexp

May I suggest that you implement each of your export formats as a FileFormatProvider and add it to m_host.FileFormatPool? Your formats then appear in the export dialog of KeePass. Users could still export the selected entries only (via 'Entry' → 'Data Exchange' → 'Export Entry'), but additionally they could export a group or the whole database, your formats would be usable in triggers, etc. If you'd do this, maybe it would make sense to rename the plugin to 'SimpleTextExport' or something like that, because it wouldn't be limited to selections anymore.

Thanks and best regards,
Dominik

Thanks for the suggestion, Dominik! I've added it as an enhancement item in my project and will look to provide that update in a subsequent version.
