Thanks to BBF user adamlau I got off my butt and have a new release out.

The biggest change is how databases are handled. Instead of being limited to one internal database, the databases are stored on the device's filesystem, just like regular files. This necessitated changes in the options and sync process so please READ THE HELP for more information. The Help page also contains instructions for converting your current internal database to the new format.

The other big change is support for KeePass Keyfiles. Again, consult the help for more information.

Remember, this is a BETA release of a BIG CHANGE. Make absolutely sure you have a good copy of your existing database before installing the beta and be prepared to encounter and report issues.

Anyone tried it yet?

I tried it and it looks great. I can now change the options (options failed on my 9000 in the old version - as per the old KeePass thread).

The Backup through Desktop Manager still fails on the KeePass databases. But to be fair, the backup also fails on the Profile database. It might be something with my setup - For me, Desktop Manager fails all the time, meaning that I really do hate Desktop Manager. I hate it with a passion! I hope to be able to stop using Desktop Manager completely and sync only through 'over the air' packages. With KeePass I generally copy the KeePass database over to the MicroSD card and don't use any Desktop Manager Add-Ins.

(Sorry for the ranting - I just simply hate Desktop Manager!)

The new verison is great... and the options menu is now working. Thanks RemyJ!

To help with the troubleshooting...
I'm also unable to backup either of the KeePassBB datases:
KeePassBB Options2
KeePassBBDatabaseObject

---MY DEVICE---
KeePass for BlackBerry v1.2.927
BlackBerry Bold (Rogers) - Platform: 4.0.0.155 - App: 4.6.0.162 (292)

I was just about to drop you a line on the SF site.

OK, I'm looking at it today.

KeePass for BlackBerry Change Log


--- KeePassBB v 1.2 - Build 1.2.928 - Released October 19 2008

* Fixed [ 2181266 ] Sync fails when no default database is selected
* Fixed [ 2181264 ] Backup fails with ClassCastException


OK, I think I got the backup and sync issues resolved... Same download links.

I just upgraded from a much older version and it works fine to access my database on the device. No problems with the app yet.

However, I am no longer able to sync. It tries and fails. When I do a ALT LGLG, I see a Java Exception - RuntimeException:

Oops, sorry bitbucket. I didn't see your post until just now.

Before syncing, did you configure the default database in Options and did you open the database at least once with a good password?

I loaded my database off of the SD card and opened it. However, I did not configure the default database in Options. The new news is that I just tried it and it's set to /store/home/user/KeePass/Database.kdb which is obviously not the database file on my SD card. Any attempt to change this with the [...] button looks like it should work - but after choosing the file, I get a menu that has 3 choices: Discard Changes, Help, and Close. No Save option. If I choose close, nothing is saved when I go back in.

/store/home/user/KeePass/Database.kdb is what gets automatically configured if you attempt a sync without setting the default database.

The saving of the path looks like a bug. You can force the saving of the options by erasing and re-entering one letter in the path.

Give it another shot with the database configured correctly.

I did manage to get the sync file set up correctly in Options. The interface is a little non-intuitive: if you click on the ball, it brings up the Discard/Help/Close menu but if you escape, it brings up the Save/Discard/Cancel window.

However, this didn't solve the sync issue. I get a similar Jave RuntimeException.

Are there any other diagnostics I can get?

The stack trace is enough. Let me run through it in the debugger. I'll look at the menu as well.

I just gave everything a shot and it looks like it keep hanging on the synchronization. I got it to synchronize perfect the frist time. But after adding some sites on my desktop and syncing again it gave me the LGLG error.

I thougth I'd try it again after reselcting the proper database and now it is hung on the synchronization in Desktop Manager.

EDIT: Looks like "a Java Exception - ForcedStackTraceException"

Now it seems like it is bricking the whole synchronization process.
It give me the "Probably a bad password" error, then it just hangs and I cannot do anything with DM or with the BB unless I unplug it from the USB. Then I have to force quit DM and restart it.

I have double checked passwords on both the desktop and BB and they are indeed the same.

The file isn't still open in KeePass on the desktop when you try the sync is it?

I have tried multiple times with it open & closed on the desktop. It gives me the error each time.

How do I delete the database off the phone and try to sync a new copy?

BTW the first time I created the default database. I also created another one on my SD card thinking if I created another one that would fix the problem, but it did not sync with that one either.

P.S. Thanks for the support, I can't wait to get this working!

You can delete the database from the Media application. Open it and take the Explorer menu option. I'll add "delete" to KeePassBB.

I'm looking at the sync process today.

--- KeePassBB v 1.2 - Build 1.2.948 - Released November 1 2008

* Fixed [ 2212757 ] FEX isn't triggering a save
* Fixed [ 2212756 ] Runtime Store key isn't being retrieved correctly

See if this release fixes the sync issues.

you plan to update icon/program to match bold resolution?

It's on my todo list.

Thanks RemyJ. I got it all setup now!

It could have been my stupidity the first time as well, but either way it's fixed.

Thanks again for working on this....especially over the weekend!

No worries. Glad its working.

One odd problem however is that when it syncs with the desktop there are now 2 "General" groups. One is the correct one with all my passwords, and the other is the blank default when you first start a database. Even if I delete it from the desktop it does not get rid of it on the BB after a sync. And if I try to delete it on the BB I get the following error.
"Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"

LGLG shows the following:
a System - CMMkeepassb b(4044) no sig from 0x33"

This is displayed 5 times (assuming because there are 5 'groups' in the default "General" category)

Looking at it...

I had problems with the sync before and never got it to work. With the new beta it seems to work perfect!!

Thank RemyJ! Now I'm really able to use this one!

Cool!

Works really great. Have entered a lot of entries, partially on the BB and the rest on the PC. Syncs perfect!

One small problem: It seems, that the BB version does not support all icons, which can be used on the PC version. The list of icons on the BB ends at the Apple, where the PC version has 4 more icons (Wikipedia, $, 67 and a mobil phone). This mobil phone icon I used on the PC and it did not sync to the BB of course ... Small problem, though.

Everythings else: Perfect.

I do like it. Keep going on RemyJ!!

Ok, I'll get the extra icons in there shortly.

RemyJ-

Sorry to put this in the 1.2 thread, but I didn't know if you were still monitoring the old thread. I have a quick question for you.

I am currently using version 1.0.602. It is working perfectly for me, and syncing up with my desktop version flawlessly. I am a firm believer in "if it's not broke, don't fix it" so I was not planning on upgrading.

I was, however, planning on upgrading my BB OS to version 4.5 this weekend, because I want Docs2Go and HTML e-mail. So, my question is this ... is KeePass 1.0.602 compatible with OS version 4.5?

Thank you.

You shouldn't have a problem. I don't remember if I tested that version specifically but I did test some 1.0 and 1.1 versions on OS 4.5 and desktop manager 4.5 and didn't see any issues.

Just remember to make good backups just in case.

Perfect. Thank you.

Anyone having problems backing up their Blackberry with KeePass 1.2.xxx?

I recently switched to Desktop Manager 4.7, and couldn't back up my BB. Removed KeePass, works like a charm.
Add KeePass (did not perform a sync), works fine.
Perform a Sync, no backup :(

I love the program, and I'm willing to forgo backing up my BB for a while. Heck, I'll even remove KeePass, backup my BB, and then add it back in if I have to.

Just looking to see if there was something I was doing, or some incompatibility with DM 4.7.

Thanks.

I don't think I ever tested with Desktop Manager 4.7. Can you check the log on the phone and see if KeePassBB is reporting any errors during the backup attempt?

Hrm. Very Odd. Automatic backup just worked. So I tried to perform a manual backup, and received this:

RemyJ-

I upgraded to 1.2.948. With one exception, everything appears to be working perfectly. I can view the database, add entries, and sync with desktop. That all works perfectly.

However, when I try to delete an entry from the BB database, I get an "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException."

Any idea what's going wrong?

Edit:

I should add that I'm using an 8100 Pearl, with 4.5.0.99, running Desktop Manager 4.6.

Yeah, it's a bug. It's on my high-priority list.

When you fix it, will I need to update the desktop plug-in as well?

In other words, both the BB version and the desktop plug-in are 1.2.948 right now.

After you fix this bug, let's say the version is now 1.2.950. Can the BB be running 1.2.950 while the desktop plug-in is still 1.2.948? Or, do they have to match?

Thanks.

Looks like I'm not getting forum notifications of new posts again. Sorry for the late reply.

The desktop plugin rarely changes because I try to keep it as simple as possible. If I make changes to it, I'll note it in the change log.

Wirelessly posted

Thanks.

Any ETA on the bug fix for the delete issue?

I'm not having any luck synching with my 8830.

I've created a database file on my BB in KeePassBB 1.2.948, changed the default location under options, and am able to access the file on my BB.

On my desktop, I have created a .kdbx file and used it for some time with KeePass 2.06 beta. It is now well populated, but I am constrained to keep some passwords overly simple until I can get them stored on my BB. I have Desktop Manager 4.7, with the KeePass for BB add-in 1.2.948.0 installed (with some trouble -- the install with the .msi failed, but a "repair" got the .dll registered) and pointed to my .kdbx file.

When I synch, Desktop Manager reports "There was an error on the device, probably a bad password. Use <ALT>LGLG on the device to check the log". On my BB, a KeePass for BlackBerry pop-up appears after the synch attempt and displays "Failed to decrypt desktop database... java.lang.RuntimeException: header: Bad database file signature"

This is the same error I get if I tell the Desktop Manager add-in to use some random file rather than my .kdbx file. Is there any way I can confirm that it is using the right file, or are there any other debugging steps I should attempt?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Sam

Tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm testing now.
