#853 R/W timout on DB access then switch to read only

[out zoned]

I currently use 2 instances of Password Safe on two PCs accessing the same DB. Both are configured to use Menu > Options > System: 'Open database read-only by default' then I just switch access by using Menu > File: 'Change to R/W' as needed.

The down side to this approach and the reason for the request is that if you forget to switch the instance of Password Safe DB access back to read-only you are locked out of been able to edit until you can get back to the PC with R/W set and switch it back to read-only.

My request would be to add in conjunction with 'Open database read-only by default' a timeout that switches a R/W DB access back to R/O after X amount of idle time. Any open edits/changes will be lost.

So to elabrorate, a R/W timeout would only be available then 'Open database read-only by default' is checked. User sets X for when desired idle timeout occurs. If a edit or new entry is created but not finished and the timeout triggers, then that edit or new entry is lost and the DB access is switched back to RO.

Thanks for listening and for Password Safe.
