Add an "include" directive to keepassxc.ini

[droidmonkey]

Even better: and an include directive in ~\.config\keepassxc.ini like many softwares like git, fish, tmux, vim, or ssh.

Really handy for dotfiles repositories where we don't want to publish secret parts, or to manage specific cases by machines like here.

In my case, I would like to make a reference to a tracked ~\.config\keepassxc_common.ini in my not-tracked ~\.config\keepassxc.ini. In ~\.config\keepassxc_common.ini, I would have a common configuration through my devices (like [General] LastOpenedDatabases or [security] lockdatabaseidlesec), but in ~\.config\keepassxc.ini, I would have everything else (for instance, options related to GUI that changes all the time).

Unfortunately this will not be possible due to the way Qt handles config files. We would have to roll our own config process. However, we now split Local and Roaming config files in 2.6.0 which should alleviate a lot of problems here. Additionally, allowing enterprise enforcement of settings could solve this problem as well.

Where can I find out more about "Local and Roaming config files"? I can't seem to find anything via a search engine. There's #4665, but that changes 45 files.

Oh, OK, so it's not something applicable to Linux.

It is applicable to Linux: roaming is in ~/.config/keepassxc and local is in ~/.cache/keepassxc
