Can't save database as it is not "Initialized"

[maztan]

I can't save the database and I am getting the error originating from this code:

// Never save an uninitialized database
    if (!isInitialized()) {
        if (error) {
            *error = tr("Could not save, database has not been initialized!");
        }
        return false;
    }

How do I initialize the database?

Ok, I added a key file to the database, now it works.
Based on this code:

bool Database::isInitialized() const
{
    return m_data.key && !m_data.key->isEmpty() && m_rootGroup;
}

I propose adding more informative error message ;)

Thats not what that code means. That checks that a database key exists at all, meaning it can be amy combination of password, key file, and hardware key. The database key is what is used for encryption and decryption.

This message is also shown when a user opens a kepass file created with keepassdx (Android) without any encryption. In such a case, the error message is not meaningful. It should show something like "Not saving unencrypted database file". Best to show that warning upfront when opening such a file.
