Not likely, it seems kind of overkill. But you could just tag email accounts with both communication and email, and they'd show up in both searches. I'm also planning on setting up account browsing in much the same way epiphany does bookmark browsing (automatically creating a tree based on tags and their relationships). > As an aside, this would adequately solve my "default list" issue.

But I could include a checkbox in the dialog to show/hide the password, opened a ticket for this (#209). > Also, the tooltip for "Open a file" seems to stick sometimes -- I > haven't tried for a consistent repro yet, but the general flow is that > I pick up a password from Revelation (double-click) alt-tab to the > browser (maximized), then ctrl-alt-(arrows) to switch to another > desktop.

Seen the same issue with some other apps too (most notably Epiphany), so might be something in GTK. > Until the automatic password history gets implemented (and not a bad > feature in any case) would be to rotate the old keyring file before > saving the new version, similar to the way that FPM does.

Well, from 0.5.0 the file will be automatically saved on any change, as I'm doing away with the whole explicit open/save thing. This would mean making a new backup on every change, which is kind of useless (you could just use undo/redo instead). > While I'm on the topic of defaults, it would be nice if Revelation made > a default keyring on first startup -- this was the only thing that made > it feel like it couldn't just go out-of-the-box for me. Yes, this will be done from 0.5.0. No more New/Open/Save file, it will use a hidden file in your homedir. > Finally, the "updated" data is a nice touch, but it would be even > better if it reflected the last time the password changed, not just any > element of the account. This will probably be better handled through the password history. -- Erik Grinaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://erikg.codepoet.no/ "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." -- Albert Einstein
