Description
I wanted to import passwords from Keepass. The importer says I should select the shown export options in Keepass: http://i.imgur.com/CaeTA4d.png
However, I could not find any way to make the Export Options window shown in the screenshot appear. There is only a "Keepass 1.x CSV" export in Keepass 2.38, and it never asks for options. It only exports a subset of the options shown in the dialog in the abovementioned screenshot.
Bug report
Steps to reproduce
- Open passman, a Vault, and the Vault settings
- Go to "Anmeldeinformationen importieren" (import credentials)
- Select "Keepass CSV" importer.
- It will tell you to "Create an csv export with the following options enabled: http://i.imgur.com/CaeTA4d.png"
- Open Keepass and try to find the Export Options dialog shown in the screenshot.
Expected behaviour
Keepass should be able to show the "Export Options" dialog referenced in the documentation screenshot.
Actual behaviour
Keepass (version 2.38 in my case) will export CSV without giving any options to configure the export or the information contained therein, and there does not seem to be any obvious way to get to this "Export Options" dialog.
