n/a - When comparing databases, you can now display of the details of the entries' differences in the results dialog by right-click -> compare selected entries.

n/a - You can now cancel a long running Compare, Merge or Synchronize database operation. Note: You should check the operation's report file to see if the operation was indeed cancelled. If not, you can undo it as all operations).

n/a - Portuguese (Brazil) installation instructions added, thanks to Andreas.

How do I make it open the same database every time without explicitly choosing it?

It automatically selects the most recently opened one for you. It also retains an MRU list in the dropdown.

Unless you're working with two or more databases on the same system, which happens only irregularly, you just start the program, your "main" database is already selected, and you start typing your password.

I can only get it to do that after Exit. On reboot I have to File/Open.

Are you running it in a sandbox, or in a portable mode? My MRU is and always has been retained between launches and across boots.

I would see if you can find anything in the help forums here »sourceforge.net/projects/passwor···m/134801

No. It is in my Recent Safe List but was hoping it would restart into the Enter Safe Combination screen.

3.29... I'm still on 2.04!

I guess 2.04 was just that good.

I've been using it since ages ago, I can't even recall what version. They fixed and improved a lot of things over time so your upgrade is definitely recommended. One feature that is annoying with recent versions is that they increased the number of intermediate backups (.ibak files) kept to 5 or something by default, which was polluting the holding dir imho. It can be turned off from the Backups tab of Manage > Options once you have a database open.

Heh, my ancient version doesn't even do automatic backups. Manual backups only!

Not sure I want to try to fix what doesn't appear to be broke, never had a problem with the program.

I still can not get it to default to the pwsafe on startup before the enter safe combination box.

I found one report of your issue on the forums but it was from 2008 and was not answered. You could try searching more extensively, mine was just a cursory look.

Do you produce the same issue on other machines or just on that one?

I saw the same report and only have it installed on one machine. It opens to a blank screen until I open a safe and enter a password. An extra step but not a showstopper.

There is probably something nonstandard going on in Windows registry if I had to guess, or with UAC, or possibly a security layer that is mucking with MRUs. It could be so many things, it's very difficult to say. If you report it the authors will have to address it sooner or later as you're not the only user having the issue.

Thanks for the help. I noticed when I installed it it automatically picked up a prior pwsafe from and old version that I then uninstalled.
