User may choose not to specify master password, but he will be warned with message box. If the master password is specified, but rescue email is not, user is warned with a message box.

Main screen

One database file can be opened, viewed and edited at a time (current database) in workspace. Name of the current database is shown as a root of the tree view and above the header of the list view. Miminize button will put application to system tray.

Tree view

shows the structure of the database. Similar to the file system, each “folder” in a tree view represents separate category. Each category can contain entries and subcategories. 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.

Texbox Fields

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). In Edit mode which is activated on Edit Entry action, it is allowed to change content of the fields. 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.

Editing entries

If the list view has a focus on entry, “Edit” button is enabled (otherwise it is disabled). Click on “Edit” puts workspace in edit mode. 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.

Title bar

Actions in the title bar are as follows (in order of appearance): Add Entry, Edit Entry, Delete Entry (all three in Edit menu), Copy Username to Clipboard, Copy Password to Clipboard, Find (Edit menu), Lock/Unlock Workspace (File menu), About (Help menu). Actions are described below under paragraphs for corresponding menu items.
