I see that there is a closed bug asking if ChromeIPass detects a locked database and the lack of detection is listed as a "feature." I would like to request that ChromeIPass detect if Keepass is locked and open Keepass if it is locked.

My particular use case is as follows:

I work in a school and use the same laptop at both school and home. Therefore, I have my Keepass database open at both school and work. At school, I cannot leave leave Keepass unlocked, since it would expose passwords for private accounts to students. Therefore, I usually extract the password that I want and then lock the database immediately. This makes ChromeIPass nearly useless except for those few times when I am able to leave the database unlocked.

What would be more helpful is if ChromeIPass detected the locked database, prompted me to unlock it, and then filled in the password with a successful unlock attempt. Essentially, what I am asking for is to be allowed to use my Keepass password as a master password in a manner similar to the Firefox Master Password feature.
