Confusing GUI

Great tool. Love what it does.
But, it is not intuitive under Windows.
eg1. when I log in, I can't see my passwords. I have to enter something (eg. a) to see all sites containing "a". This is odd behavour - and, my confidence is not high because many programs (eg. Apple's Music App) dont' even search properly, so if I type "a" and "iosapple" doesn't come up, is that because it doesn't start with a, or because I haven't created that password. As a computer veteran of decades, this is very, very confusing.

eg2. When I enter a new site name (eg. iosapple), it says <add new site>. I click to add and it does nothing. I click it again and it does nothing. I press <enter> and it still does nothing. I delete the sitename and re-add it and then press <enter> (ie. without clicking) and it asks me if I want to add the site. Again, this is very confusing. If I say "yes" to adding a new site, the screen disappears and I have to go to the taskbar to select it.

Is it possible to add the ability to sync my phone with the desktop version of the app? Ie. I click "receive password database" on my desktop and it says "waiting for database". I then go to my phone and press "send password database". The password database will be sent (synced) with my desktop.

Thanks again. The GUI might be confusing, but the program is still useable and is very handy.

    Hey Jim, feel free to check out 2.7.8 to see if some of your concerns above are alleviated.

    Hi, the new version works much better. Every time I hit Enter now the password is remembered. But there is still in my opinion an issue when entering a new site. I'm asked if I want to save the given site. If I hit "No" then nothing happens. Should't the generated password be remembered in this case also? To do so I have to click "yes" every time an to delete the saved site later on.
    Nevertheless the program is of very great help to me.
