Are people still using this app? I am.. Is the developer still interested in updating it? I hope so, as there as a nasty bug which can cause the app to delete data - it has happened to me several times. Actually there may be more than one.

If you are entering new data and the timeout is activated, requiring you to enter the master password again, and you either (1) exit the program without entering the password, or (2) enter the password and then exit the program, thinking your newly-entered data will automatically be saved, IT WON'T. You MUST manually save before exiting - normally the program DOES auto-save before exiting, and so this can be very bad - lulling you into thinking it will catch unsaved data, then not saving it in this specific situation.

Solution: if you use this program, SAVE MANUALLY EVERY TIME YOU ENTER DATA before exiting. Otherwise you will lose data, sooner or later.

There appears to be another bug related to the master password timeout. I have had a situation where I have been entering new data, and the password timeout activated. Upon entering the password and going back into the program, there was NO option to save my earlier-entered data. The only options on the menu were 'New', 'Open...', and 'Open Last' as if it had been newly started without any file to open at all. And yet I had just been entering data on an open file and it is even still displayed! So this was very bad too, as I there was no way for me to save my data even though I had remembered to do it manually, and I lost all new changes.

Solution: Manually save your data not only before exiting the program, but before the master password timeout has had a chance to activate - which can be tricky, since the timeout is quite short.

I have also noticed that the application sometimes won't accept my password after the timeout, even though I am entering it correctly, and I have to kill the app. So there is something funky about the master password timeout, so basically make sure that your data is in a complete saved state before the timeout ever activates.
