Would you consider using v2 files with your desktop password Manager ?

I took a quick look at the v3 file format : it looks like it is based on XML (once decrypted).
It would be a big job to modify pwsafe to read this format and then there are some functionnalities that would be hard to support like hierarchical groupping (there's only one level of group in the V2 format) ...
Sorry

Thanks for your look at v3.
When using v2 format and exporting the database, I realized that the N900 version of Password Safe has problems with large Notes.
I can reopen the v2 files with Password Safe 3.26 but the notes are lost on the N900 version.

How to recreate this problem:
-use version 3.26,
-save an item with a huge note (e.g. some text from some
newspaper - just for testing)
-export to v2 format
-transfer database file to N900
-open with Password Safe on N900: result: the Note is gone!

Maybe it is enough to check this bug (is it a bug or
is there some unknown limit?) to make Password Safe usable
on N900.

Thanks for the report
You can open a bug in the Maemo Bugzilla system (https://bugs.maemo.org/).
To be complete, did you try to create a big note on the N900 ?
The note could be lost by the export function in the desktop version ?

I created an entry with pwsafe on N900 with a note of approx.300 lines. That is ok.
I can read this entry on the desktop.
So there seems to be an error when reading pwsafe files exported
on desktop on N900. The note must be there because the desktop version is able to read the exported v2 file.
Maybe the line endings of the DOS text make problems?
