Hello there,

first of all, thanks for making MiniKeePass! Sadly I figured out that though it works very nice all the time it causes some problems, too. I'm using MiniKeePass (latest available version from Apple AppStore) with a KDB (KeePass 1.x) file that I used for years and has a lot of entries. On my PCs and Macs I'm opening and editing it with KeePassX (in its latest available version) only. The file gets synced via DropBox and that is how I use it with MiniKeePass, too. Today I found out by accident that a lot (possibly all!) entries in my database have some informations in them that shouldn't be there and belong to totally different entries. I checked and saw that the corresponding entries still got their original data though - even if I delete the wrong values from the entries that got them. It appears that only those fields of entries got inserted wrong information that were originally empty. Good, so there is no data lost. But it's bad though, because it can confuse and it destroys the neat database I built over years. I also found out by trying that this only happens to files I edit (or use?) with MiniKeePass and the problem still exists in the current available version.
Here's something I can't proof, but I got the feeling that it has something to do with my database using a lot of groups and subgroups (it is a real tree!) and that only those wrong information gets entered into empty fields of entries that are in the same group as the entry to whom this information originally is belonging.

I hope you understand what I want to say, because especially for the last sentence I'm not 100% sure about the correctness of the English grammar I used ;-)

I hope you can reproduce and fix this issue soon. Thanks for your great work so far!

With best regards,

Alexander Schomburg.
