3 years ago1pux export data will be wrong or old (and uncomplete)
Hi,
I am using the 1password 8 app for windows, Iphone Ipad. They all are updated to last version (8,9,10).
I need to export the data I stored in 1Password, but I encounter many problems:

3 years agoOpening the json file with a text editor works, but it is really really uncomfortable to read... even if the structure is clear.
Just coming back to what @Happybird wrote above, what a customer would like is a simple csv file. And, I add, a one-row-per-vault-item one (the metadata being in columns).
I am right now importing with Excel the json file.
It works, but the result is terrible:
- many rows per vault item instead than only one;
- funny enough, despite the fact that the metadata columns are 50 or more, username and password (the real basic reason for which apps like 1Password exist) are in the SAME COLUMN (!!!), in two rows. I mean, from 50 to 51 column doesn't change much, right? so why not making at least two separated columns for the two most important metadata?
After working for almost an hour on it, deleting non necessary metadata columns and moving metadata columns in an easier to read order, I got an excel file that is very far from user friendly; I would say still hardly comprehensible. The most annoying thing is the fact that one single vault item is split in dozen of rows (the columns are not the problem, they are necessary having multiple metadata, but the multiple rows makes no sense).
Probably and hopefully I am so fresh to json files that there is a better way to convert them.
Therefore the big question is: have 1Passord created a "json to csv" converter?
Without such a tool I can't reach my goal: i.e. having a simple, easy and quick to use list of all items I input in the vault.
And such list should be, like common sense suggests, made by ONE ROW for each item of the vault,and one column for each of the metadata in the item itself.
In one of your messages above, you wrote:
I use my 1pux_tool.pl to dump the contents of the 1PUX in an easy to read textual format and send that content to the grep tool...
Is it possible to have this tools? Where can I find them?
Maybe they do what I am dreaming for...
