Description
It would be very nice to have a way to automatically unlock a database after unlocking the session. Especially for cases where the setting "Close database when session is locked" is turned on.
Expected Behavior
Provide a way to open/unlock a database of an running instance of keepassxc, similar to the method used for autostart on login (which on gnome/linux would be something like:"secret-tool lookup 'keepass' 'passwords' | keepassxc --pw-stdin path/to/database.kdbx")
Current Behavior
If I try to open a database (with the above --pw-stdin command) when an instance of keepassxc is already running, I just get "Another instance of KeePassXC is already running"
Possible Solution
Provide a way of sending a password (for a closed database) to a running instance of keepassxc via the command line
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- start keepassxc with closed database (such as you would have after automatically locking the session of the os)
- try to open a database from the command line with the --pw-stdin command
- You get a message at the terminal telling you that another instance of keepassxc is already running
Operating system: Arch Linux, Gnome
