@rafael-x -- good questions - I think like most things there would be a range of responses, so perhaps there could be a default behavior (e.g. what happens today) and an option to turn on the exit. Saving individual entries could be done on a copy of the entry being edited, or discarded if not saved. I think the main idea, is stop the problem with multiple users on a database, when they all need read-write at different times. In my experience, it is rare (actually never encountered) a need for two...

+1 for this feature - we need an auto exit on lock, as people are more frequently using shared databases (either on a home network, or even on Dropbox). Automatic to avoid the dreaded "conflicted versions" that result when multiple users work on a shared version in Dropbox

I strongly support the CLOSE/EXIT feature -- switching to "read only" is not sufficient because multiple users frequently need to add/update passwords in a shared database. It would be much better to have the program completely close the database and exit after a timeout period.

this is related to issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/feature-requests/542/ ...assuming two users of a shared pwsafe database on Dropbox: ...user1 opens pwsafe and makes an edit - because pwsafe minimizes and keeps the database open, it is easy for user2 to create a conflicted copy if they open pwsafe and make another edit on a different record. it is easy for user1 to forget they even have pwsafe open and running. if pwsafe closed the database file when the app was minimized, the frequency...

+1 for this option -- we use shared Dropbox folder to access pwsafe from multiple computers and phones. IF pwsafe automatically closed the database after a fixed/selectable timeframe - the frequency of times conflicted copie are created would be dramatically reduced. Dropbox is quite fast at syncing files, so if the first user makes an edit, then shortly thereafter pwsafe will close and the current pwsafe database will by synced across all Dropbox copies. Often users need to quickly access a password,...
