#2682 Database setting to disable creation/modification times

[Sworddragon]

The global settings for a specific database contain history settings that allow to limit the size and number of history entries. While I limit the number of history entries to 0 in my database as I don't want to have past changes stored I would also like if information about the creation/modification time of any entry would not be stored at all in my database via another database setting.

Positive side-effects of this request (although not explicitly targeted by this request) is that databases without stored or with normalized timestamps can usually be a bit better compressed and that the UI can be improved for such entries (e.g. the preview pane has not to show the creation/modification time resulting in better readability).

Remove entry creation and modification dates from the List view pane by right-clicking on the column headers and selecting Configure Columns.... Uncheck 'Creation Time' and 'Last Modification Time' boxes. These view settings are remembered. You can also access the Configure Columns dialog via the View>Configure Columns... menu.

Important KeePass features such as database synchronization require saving current entry date data. KeePass password databases are compressed and tend to be small. Attachments are the big file size offenders.

Like Wellread1 wrote, these times are required for certain features. Therefore, I'm not planning to remove them.

Thanks and best regards,
