Hi folks, back in May I wrote a Plasma applet that serves as a GUI frontend for the pass password manager [0]. I blogged about it [1], but then somewhat forgot to make a release etc. Recently I started getting some emails from packagers where to get a tarballs so I think it's time to get some translations in and start doing official releases. Thus I'd like to ask for a review for inclusion in extragear.
The way pass works is it has a directory in which each password is stored in a PGP-encrypted file, the name of the file is the name of the password. You can also create subfolders to organize the passwords. The code of the applet is a C++ model that watches said directory and exposes its content as a tree. There's also a filter proxy model which uses partial string matching code from KDevelop (so you can filter for "jd@f" and it matches "john....@fmail.com"). The applet itself sits in systray, when activated it shows the top-level list of folders and password. Code-wise it contains a stack of list views, when entering a subfolder it pushes a new listview with content of that folder to the stack. Selecting a password decrypts it using gpg and puts it into clipboard for 45 seconds. After that it clears it from the X clipboard as well as Klipper. There's a bit of mess regarding focus handling in the QML, but the goal was to make the applet fully controllable via keyboard, which wasn't easy with my QML skills :) Looking forward to your feedback, Dan [0] https://www.passwordstore.org/ [1] https://www.dvratil.cz/2018/05/plasma-pass/ -- Daniel Vrátil www.dvratil.cz | dvra...@kde.org IRC: dvratil on Freenode (#kde, #kontact, #akonadi, #fedora-kde) GPG Key: 0x4D69557AECB13683 Fingerprint: 0ABD FA55 A4E6 BEA9 9A83 EA97 4D69 557A ECB1 3683
