Bleach bit deletes a keePassXC formating

Open bulgin opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Whenever I run bleach bit it deletes the formating associated with keepassXC password storage app. What is the best method to stop this from happening? I can't find a setting in bleachbit that addresses this issue. Thanks.

The file is located in ~/.cache/keepassxc/ and wiping this file with bleachbit removes the "last used" database. Very annoying.

Thanks I did discover that after a while - I now don't wipe that file and the formating stays intact. Appreciate your follow up.

This issue has been reported in general (not specific to BleachBit) like here

  • https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/7990
  • https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.bugs.dist/c/it0L4-ILpuk?pli=1
  • Google Search for more

Does this help?

  1. Set the KPXC_CONFIG_LOCAL environment variable to point to ~/.config/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini
  2. Move existing ~/.cache/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini to ~/.config/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini

Besides moving the file to ~/.config, you can whitelist the file in the BleachBit preferences under the whitelist tab. The file must exist for the BleachBit GUI to find it.

Yes that works - whitelisting the file.  Thank you.

Wrote down both options (environment variable, whitelist) in my blog, for when I forget about this the next time.
