Subcategories can be moved to other categories using “drag and drop” operation. After the name of the category is its number of entries (including all subcategories). Entries in the selected category and all its subcategories are shown in the list view on the right. Selecting the root of the tree (database name) will show all entries in a database. Total number of entries (if non-zero) is shown in brackets after the database name.

List view

List view shows the entries of currently seleced category and all its subcategories. It can be customized in respect to columns it shows and column sorting. Order of columns in a list view can be changed with drag and drop. Clicking on desired column will sort the content of the list alphabetically in respect to that column. Click once again on the same column will switch the sorting order (from ascending to descending and vice versa). Changes to columns order and sorting are saved and will remain after the restart of sofware.

All textbox fields can be viewed and their content copied to clipboard in usual way (Ctrl + C on selection), even if the text is hidden behind asterisks (for password field).

Reveal password button will toggle text in Password field: whether it is displayed hidden behind asterisks or not. Click on URL field opens the given URL in browser.

All text fields became unlocked for editing. “Save” button appears on the Main screen next to “Edit” button, but it is disabled until the text in some of the fields is changed. Text in “Edit” changes to “Cancel”, and behavior also changes to cancel. Click on “Cancel” button will cancel the operation, and the text will change to “Edit” again.
