Data base keepass style

[ghost]

is there any chance to be able to implement database save customization, similar to what keepass does
It would be a great feature for privacy and portability purposes regarding local and cloud syncing.
I hope and can be implemented as it would be very helpful
thanks for reading me, the best for all :)

Hi there! Could you elaborate a little on how keepass does this? I am not familiar with that. The database-layer is abstracted so in this direction should theoretically be possible but it is unclear to me how and for what specific purposes.

Hi! Thanks for answering :) Yes, the keepass database is abstracted and I think it could be a great advantage for super productivity if it has the same feature, since having the opportunity to have SP give you the option to select the path to save and open the database it can be much easier to be able to sync the tasks on a local network drive or even on a cloud network drive (or simply be able to choose in which path to save the database locally)
Another advantage could also be that they work with several OS on the same pc, so they would only have to link the same path in the different OS in which SP is installed. It would be awesome to have this feature implemented.
sorry for my english, but it's not my native language

So you're looking primarily for something like this:
#690
?

I think yes, that idea has a lot to do with mine, but to clear up all possible doubts, here is this screenshot for reference.

Basically what I would like to see in SP is to have the freedom to save the database wherever you want, in order to synchronize the same folder on all your devices (either locally or in the cloud)

Did you try using --user-data-dir startup flag: https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity#using-a-custom-folder-to-save-user-data
?

Will there be any chance that you can give a little explanation of how I can use it?
sorry but I literally have a week that I started to learn programming, so I'm still ignorant in many things
