KeeOldFormatExport

KeeOldFormatExport adds support for exporting data to old KeePass file formats.

After the plugin has been installed, data can be exported to the following formats:

• KeePass KDB (1.23)
• KeePass KDBX (2.19)

The plugin runs on all operating systems. However, for exporting to KDB files, a Windows operating system is required (exporting to KDBX files does not require this).

Installation / Uninstallation

In order to install KeeOldFormatExport, copy all files KeeOldFormatExport* into the KeePass application directory (where KeePass.exe is; directly, not into a subdirectory), and restart KeePass.

If you wish to uninstall the plugin, simply delete the KeeOldFormatExport* files.

Manual Export

In KeePass, go 'File' → 'Export'. The old formats provided by the plugin can be found in the formats list of the dialog.

Automatic Export Using Triggers

If you wish that the database is exported automatically to a file in an old format when saving, you can create a trigger for this:

1. In KeePass, go 'Tools' → 'Triggers'. Click the 'Add' button.
2. Enter for example 'Export on Save' as name and click 'Next'.
3. Click the 'Add' button and select the 'Saved database file' event. Close the dialog using the 'OK' button. Click 'Next'.
4. No condition is required, thus click 'Next'.
5. Click the 'Add' button and select the 'Export active database' action. As 'File/URL' enter "{DB_DIR}{ENV_DIRSEP}{DB_BASENAME}_Old.EXT" (without the quotes). Replace the EXT by the appropriate extension (e.g. if you're exporting to a KDB file, replace EXT by kdb; if you're exporting to a KDBX file, replace it by kdbx).
6. In the 'File format' field enter the name of the format that you wish to export to. For the names, see the list above. The name must be specified exactly as listed above, otherwise the export will not work.
7. Close all dialogs using the 'OK' buttons.
