Hide search-disabled groups

[avidseeker]

config.ini includes hide_groups to exclude passwords from showing up the menu. However, KeePassXC already provides this functionality in group properties: right click > group > search: Enabled/Disabled/Inherited from parent group.

Ok, I see that KeepassXC has the ability to hide a group from search. I don't
understand how that's relevant to Keepmenu?

Maybe the ask here is to move this to entry properties and control within keepmenu instead of using custom ini kv?

It is relevant because keepmenu already implements it.

I'm saying that the hide_groups feature in keepmenu is re-implementing something KeePassXC already has which is "exclude from search". Why not read this property directly from kdbx? especially that it is better with hierarchical groups (see the "inherited from parent group" option).

Pykeepass doesn't implement that feature. Is it actually a kbdx feature or just a KeepassXC feature?

Edit: Here is the XML spec for kbdx. I didn't see anything relevant to group visibility during search, but it's not exactly easy to read 😁

I'm going to close this, as it doesn't seem the requested feature is part of the kdbx spec. If I'm wrong, please re-open and I'll take a look. Thanks!

I think it's

<xs:element name="EnableSearching" type="TNullableBoolEx" minOccurs="0" />

If I wasn't mistaken.

Ah, I see now. Thanks for that! Re-opening.

Here's
the actual spec definition for EnableSearching.
