 +===== KeeAutoExec plugin =====
 +
 +This plugin automatically opens additional databases.
 +
 +https://keepass.info/plugins.html#keeautoexec
 +
 +Installation:
 +<code>
 +wget https://keepass.info/extensions/v2/keeautoexec/KeeAutoExec-2.6.zip
 +sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/keepass2/Plugins/
 +sudo unzip KeeAutoExec-2.6.zip -d /usr/lib/keepass2/Plugins/
 +rm KeeAutoExec-2.6.zip
 +</code>
 +Then restart keepass
 +
 +To use:
 +  * Create a new group in your database and name it "AutoOpen" (without the quotes).
 +  * Each non-expired entry in this group corresponds to a database that should be opened automatically when the current database is opened. The fields of each entry specify the following:
 +    * Title: Ignored by the plugin; can be used for comments.
 +    * User name: Must contain the path to the key file, if one should be used. The path can be either absolute or relative to the directory containing KeePass.exe.
 +    * Password: The master password for the database to open. If no password is required, leave this field empty.
 +    * URL: Path to the database file to open. The path can be either absolute or relative to the directory containing KeePass.exe.
 +  * Server credentials. When opening a database from a URL, the credentials for accessing the file on the server can be specified using the custom entry strings "IocUserName" and "IocPassword". These strings must not contain new-line characters.
 +  * Custom entry string "Visible" set to "False" will hide autoopen entries from Menu -> open
 +  * Custom entry string "Focus" set to "Restore" will switch the active tab to the main database again.
 +  * Custom entry string "ifDevice" can be used to exclude or include specific devices i.e. '!OnePlus DN2103 (b6e6...)' excludes a specific OnePlus mobile.
 +
 +===== Open specific db on startup =====
 +
 +  * Turn off the option 'Remember and automatically open last used database on startup' (in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Advanced').
 +  * Go 'Tools' → 'Triggers' → button 'Add'. Enter a name for the new trigger, e.g. 'Open specific database'.
 +  * Switch to the 'Events' tab and add the event 'Application started and ready'.
 +  * Switch to the 'Actions' tab and add an 'Open database file' action. In the action details, set the parameter 'File/URL' to the path of the database file that KeePass should open when it is started.
 +
 +Opening multiple specific databases at KeePass startup can for example be realized using the trigger approach above (with multiple trigger actions) or using the KeeAutoExec plugin. 
 +
 +===== Problem with dialog buttons missing text =====
 +
 +Current libgdiplus of debian/ubuntu/mint contains libpango which causes problems with keepass2. Option is to downgrade until fixed upstream.
