How to restore last view when unlocking database

[Mark]

Is there a setting that will configure KeePass to open a database to the view (folder/entry) that was last seen before the database was locked (either automatically or during shutdown)? Right now, it seems like KeePass is choosing some random folder/entry view. It's really annoying to have to search and select the last entry I was using each time the database is opened.

KeePass stored the last Group viewed in the database, therefore it only updates if you save the database.

If that's the case, is there a way to configure KeePass to automatically save anytime the automatic lock is triggered? This would solve my problem.

You can use a trigger. The following trigger will save unconditionally when a database is locked or closed. Copy the entire trigger, use Tools>Triggers...>Tools button (button at lower left of Triggers dialog)>Paste Triggers from Clipboard to paste the trigger into the trigger system. Press the 'OK' button on the Triggers dialog to Save the trigger.

If you are saving that much it may be possible to inadvertently save changes you didn't want.
Make sure you have regular backups - see the Backup Wiki.
