Open specific entry from command-line parameter

[rafi]

Would it be possible to immediately open QtPass with a specific entry selected and opened?
e.g.

QtPass sites/foobar.com

Thanks

Currently this only works with the interprocess system.
When qtpass is already running you can send it such commands from the commandline.
It will even do fuzzy searching that way.

Will try to add this functionality on the first run too and let you know when this is added.
I had some problems with the lazy loading of the password store, which is why it's not include yet.

Thanks for the update and clarification.

This "feature" is currently giving me issues in two fields.

A) The lazy loading way the treeview works is less than ideal for "quick" searching and needs some recursive love.

B) Some OS' give weird commandline paramaters when executing from their "menu"

@annejan Thanks for the update!
I'm experiencing (A) as-well, and I'd like to offer:

1. Allow searching via path, e.g. QtPass "sites/foobar.com"
2. Immediately display the first match on the right-pane.

Thank you so much!

Related to #26 need to revise this whole thing.

[rafi]

Can this get fixed now?
May I suggest an argument setting for this? i.e. QtPass -find "sites/foobar.com"

[annejan]

I'll look into it this weekend . .
Since I now officially on holiday I have some more time to investigate why this didn't work in the past ☀️

Currently inter-process communication is not working at-all on my MacBook .. but it is working on my Arch linux install..
But this is a nice thing to spent some time playing with tomorrow afternoon in the shade . .

Have fun! :)

Hi,
rather than the QtPass -find "sites/foobar.com" proposition,
I would strongly suggest to use the original pass command line arguments. For searching, that would actually be QtPass find pass-names..., or QtPass show entry for a single entry match …
See http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/about/#Commands

That would actually be great, especially as there is no command line implementation of pass for Windows …

Thanks

I have to disagree with the suggestion.
I simply don't see what the advantage of using qtpass would be in contrast to using pass.

pass not being available on Windows is unfortunate, but I think the aim of this project is providing a GUI, not replicating the command line interface of pass for windows.

Besides this, #88 was declined with a "wontfix".

[annejan]

In retrospect I think I might even see merit in #88
But the interface should be clean and well thought out . .

This is not something you want to rush into it half baked as it opens up a lot of potential issues.
