Export with resolved references

[lspcity]

I want to export my KeePass2 database to XML but it always contains references which I cannot refer to entries in the XML.

Is it possible to export the database to XML with resolved references?
If this is not an option, every entry in XML has an UUID which look like base64 encoded.
But decoding it does not give me something comparable to the references used in the entries.

A sample XML entry looks like:

<String>
    <Key>UserName</Key>
    <Value>{REF:U@I:F4478BE68A45A14B9D58C9057E6CF653}</Value>
</String>

The exported UUID seems to be encoded (not base 64) and the references are not encoded. Don't know why.

cheers, Paul

Currently it is not possible to resolve field references during export. We have a feature request for it; you can vote here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/feature-requests/1163/

If you want to perform replacements in the XML manually, the following tool for converting Hex to Base64 might be useful:

Thx for the encoding information.
I wrote a converter in python to solve references of an XML export of a KeePass2 database.
