Feature Requests List

[Eric H. Jung]

I have occasionally seen "next release" to be translated into "a couple releases from now."

Very true. Sometimes I forget, or sometimes I simply run out of time. :(  Thanks for adding it so I don't forget about it, though.

[Tyrantmizar]

Following the same line of thought, I have added the Master Password confirmation box feature request.

[Eric H. Jung]

I finally went through the old feature request list. Here are the features not yet implemented and not yet in the list at the beginning of this thread. Tyrantmizar, whenever you get a chance to add them, that would be helpful. thanks!

• For Default Settings, break the port, path, anchor, and query parameters options into separate, distinct options. Daniel Tryba, 03-31-05 11:34 am.
• When "Store MPW in Memory" is chosen, add optional textbox which can be populated with # of minutes after which the MPW is automatically cleared from memory. This allows you to save the MPW for a period of time and not worry that, if walking away from your PC for a while, you have to close the browser.
• Mobile phone version C.J. 04-04-05 1:33 pm.
• Add support for IP addresses in Default Settings. Using Domain Name in Default Settings yields the wrong URL if the URL is an IP address and not a domain name. The only way around this is to create specifc accounts for each and every website that uses an IP address instead of a URL. AcidReflux, 04-14-05 6:06 pm.
• Option to turn off auto-populate for the current browser. AcidReflux, 04-14-05 6:06 pm.
• Option to save settings to an FTP site ("vault"). Jason, 04-20-05 2:33m, and adimb 04-21-05 12:38 am
• Online version should allow you to select which options are stored as cookies instead of storing them all (except MPW) by default. Tiago de Noronha, 04-27-05 7:19pm
• Make PasswordMaker a Mac OS/X dashboard widget. Govardhanen, 05-02-05 11:15 am
• Would be great to be able to always enter your master password into form fields and passwordmaker switching it to the encrypted version of the password you enter on submit. Dave, 05-04-05 1:55 pm

[Tyrantmizar]

I added all but the last one.  I've already got that listed as "Master Password entered and automatically hashed."  I'll rephrase it if you want.

Also, trephin reminded me that, since Firefox also supports profiles, "Allow Installation to profile" shouldn't be marked as for Moz Suite users.

Lastly, about this one:

Option to save settings to an FTP site ("vault"). Jason, 04-20-05 2:33m, and

Haven't you already added this feature as discussed here?

[Eric H. Jung]

You mean have I added it to PasswordMaker? No, not yet. The thread you pointed to, though, is the same request.

Also, trephin reminded me that, since Firefox also supports profiles, "Allow Installation to profile" shouldn't be marked as for Moz Suite users.

I disagree with this. Yes, FF supports profiles, but no FF extension I've ever seen permits the user to install an extension in a profile other than the current one. Mozilla Suite permits installation to "all profiles" or the current profile, but that was a big complaint people had with the Mozilla Suite and, therefore, why Ben Goodger et al. decided NOT to imlement that capability in FF's extension manager. Unless someone can point me to a FF extension which installs to profiles other than the current profile or to "all profiles" (i.e., a trailblazer extension), I'll only be doing this for Mozllla Suite and Netscape.

Eric, I agree with you on this one wholeheartedly.  Why would anyone want to install an extension for someone else's profile ?  What's next ?  Why don't you make it so that I can open rdf files from other profiles ?  Again, I agree, this should not be a feature.

Romeo

[Tyrantmizar]

Very well.  It's back to being for Mozilla Suite users only.

Well, as configured now, PM automatically is installed and available for all Mozilla Suite users... hence the original request to make it available to a single profile.

I was unaware of how firefox operated;  which is why I asked the Tyrantmizar about it.

To find a use for extension installation to the application folder....

for instance, Mozilla Suite does not have a home button for the navigation bar.... i can install an extension to provide one for all users of this computer without having to install separately...  I also have adblock installed for all users... of course, each user has there own preferences but it is just easier to install

[Eric H. Jung]

I trephin. I am very familiar with how Mozilla Suite works re: profiles. I used Mozilla Suite before Firefox (Phoenix) existed, so don't worry... you'll have your feature soon enough. As I wrote in another thread, PasswordMaker used to have the option you're asking about--I took it out of install.js because I didn't think anyone used it. I'll put it back.

I would like to vote for the standalone Java app.  In particular, I'd like for it to work on the Blackberry (7100t) and the Palm (Tungsten T3) so I'll always have a gadget to generate my passwords.

I will be willing to help beta test these also.

[Eric H. Jung]

Yay! Another vote for the Java app! (That's what I *most* want to work on!)

[Tyrantmizar]

matneh, I've added your vote.  Keep in mind that you have two more votes, and that you can change your vote if you change your mind.

[Romeo]

Eric,

I was looking though the feature requests and think that I found one that already exists:

0 - Master Password confirmation box

in 0.8.0, or whatever version we are at.

Not quite.  The confirmation box I've kept up there because it would allow me to see if I accidentally typed with caps lock on.  It would (presumably) pop up with the master password you used in order for you to see what you typed.  

Come to think of it though, that could easily lead to some major security flaws.  What do you think, should I remove it, Eric?

[Tyrantmizar]

I've added the View by Group or Account.
