KeePass not saving plugin options

    Let me get this out of the way - I LOVE KeePass!
    Except when it does odd things which I will describe.
    When I go into "Edit Entry" and click the icon labeled "Generate a Password", then select "Open Password Generator...", I am then presented with the "Password Generator". Good so far. When I select the bullet button for "Generate using custom algorithm", I can use the dropdown selection to get to the plugins "Diceman" and "Readable Password Generator" (and another one I deleted that was in a similar vein).
    The Problem: When I make changes to the options of any of these plugins, they work in the current session, but go back to the default values after I am through with them and go back later. In other words, the options don't save for any of these plugins. I've tried running KeePass as administrator with no success and nothing I do makes a difference including my attempts to use different plugins that perform a similar function.
    I do not know how to proceed from this point except asking for assistance and advice. Please help. Thank you!

    I would expect the plug-in to remember the settings, not KeePass. Plug-ins can access the KeePass configuration file to store their data.

    Have you asked on the plug-in site?
    e.g. https://github.com/ligos/readablepassphrasegenerator/issues

    cheers, Paul

    Well, both answers are correct, because it depends :-) In the case of global plugin options, you'd indeed need to ask the plugin author, whereas in the case of password generator settings (accessible via the button to the right of the custom algorithm selection combobox in the password generator dialog), you need to create a profile for saving them.

    Best regards,
    Dominik
