XML is a human readable format so aside from prettiness it’s the same thing as a plain text export, but is better for using with other tools/scripts. It has other export formats, like CSV which might be more suitable.
Print in KeePass prints tables of data columns etc, or would if it worked on my machine, you must have read about the “Print Emergency Sheet” function.
Yea, I think I probably did read about that, not exporting the database to xml.
All doesn’t seem well with Syncthing so far, but it may be a matter of needing to use separate folders that can be easily identified by device. Simply setting up a ‘Sync’ folder on each device for two devices seemed to work well enough. After adding a third device with a ‘Sync’ folder, when deleting a file from one of the devices Syncthing seems to get stuck in a loop of adding the file back from another device, and at some point Syncthing hung between two devices. Also the interface is not too user friendly, but it’s manageable. I’ll try separate folders tomorrow when I have more time.
I gave up on Syncthing. The best tool I could find for sharing files between devices is LocalSend. It allows for sharing files and text over a local network, it is very simple to use, and the privacy policy doesn’t make me raise a brow. It can run in the background, or not. No sync capability, but I can live without it.
Have you considered Nextcloud?
I had considered setting an always up rpi or old laptop with nextcloud or something else. Outside of that, nextcloud looks pretty heavy for just passing some occasional files between a few devices.
I need some kind of set and forget auto sync being connected to different networks so a cloudy thing works best. With encrypted files it doesn’t really matter much about cloud encryption. murena.io has free accounts that use Nextcloud so you’d just need to the clients on your devices.
If you don’t need auto syncing and it’s just a few files it might still be overkill.
I never did sign up for murena.io after moving to e. I’ll check it out.
Syncing would definitely be nice, but only for a few files for me. In most cases I just want to grab a file or two from another device for a 1x view and then toss it to prevent the sort of cluster fuck that I just cleaned up across my devices.
