Converting from ewallet

Howdy Jeev,

I'll second sjk's recommendation to try the eWallet converter. :-)

For some reason, the link is going to page 2. You'll want to go to the the first post to find the download link.

This thread is posted in the IOS forum, but I see you can export as a text file, so I'm thinking you're are using a Windows or a Mac. Either will work.

That's good news.

I think category changing is on AgileBits' list of Good Intentions, but I have no knowledge of its status.

The PIF format conversion (default) supports the following categories:

login creditcard software note socialsecurity passport email bankacct membership

When you say "wrong category", can you expand a bit? Maybe it's something the converter could help with.

On my list of Good Intentions is a category converter. I had to get some plumbing work done first, and now that that's done, it should be pretty easy to accomplish. The hardest part is making the configuration reasonable for humans to manage.

Ok, got it.

When I first wrote the converter, it only exported to CSV, and 1Password's CSV import was limited to only 4 categories. And then when I updated the converter to export to 1PIF, I only implemented the most common types initially, as a proof of concept. I had not yet created the new plumbing mentioned above, and now that its done, I need to remove the old 1PIF code and replace it with my new 1PIF module, which supports all of 1Password's card types:

bankacct creditcard database driverslicense email identity login membership
note outdoorlicense passport rewards server socialsecurity software wireless

Of those that remain to be implemented (database driverslicense identity outdoorlicense rewards server wireless), do you have many of these?

I'd like to understand why your software keys (or any of the list that are implemented) did not get imported to the appropriate type, since they should have been recognized, so long as you did not change certain key Field Names of the stock cards. Certain field names are required to determine the card type, so if you changed these, the converter can't know what type the entry is. For example, the Software type looks for any of the strings "Version", "Name\/Label" or "Key" as field labels. The good news is, that the field recognizer uses patterns, so its possible we can adjust yours to better match.

I have a few things on the burner right now, but moving the eWallet converter to the new PIF generator and adding the remaining card definitions will be done soon.

The Window version of 1Password is different - some items are under the Wallet category. The others are fixed. Nomenclature can be a little confusing too. One Windows, these are referred to as "type of item" or Categories. And Categories in eWallet are really high-level Folders, so to speak, and entries are called "Card"s, and cards have a Card Type.

Hi Jeev,

... the same result - the software cards still continued to be captured as secure notes in 1Password (IOS version and Windows version). I am using Name, Version and Key for almost all of the cards.

This movie shows how it should be working.

You can enable debug by adding the -d option to the command line, but you'll have to make your cmd shell window scrollback buffer larger (right-click the cmd shell title bar, select Properties, go to the Layout tab, and set the Screen Buffer Size's Height to something like 3000. You might also want to increase the height/width of the window.

Look for one of your software cards, and see what Card Type is being returned. Here's the example debug output from the identical conversion shown in the movie.

Let's take the rest of any debug offline. PM me for more info.

Fantastic!

Hi @tanner,

The conversion script works on Yosemite and 1P5. Use the converter that is located in the _testing folder in my AgileBits Utilities area. Download convert_to_1p4_1.00.zip, unzip it, and place the folder onepassword-utilities with all of its contents onto your Desktop. Read and follow the instructions in README.pdf.

This new convert_to_1p4 version consolidates all the conversion scripts into a single script with password-manager specific modules.

On Yosemite, you'll want to use a specific version of the Perl program, version 5.16, so where you're asked to type "perl" use "perl5.16" instead:

perl5.16

Hi @tanner,

This:

  @INC contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5, ...

tells me that you have either MacPorts of some other toolkit installed, and are using that (because this toolkit has modified your PATH to look in /opt/local first). If you want to use the MacPorts installed version of Perl, you'll have to also install the additional modules like Date::Calc. Example: sudo port install p5.16-date-calc

But this module is already installed on Yosemite with the stock Perl. You can force using it by using the full path:

/usr/bin/perl5.16

instead of just perl5.16 by name.

You're welcome.

I was successful importing

And these are the sweetest words of the day. Thanks!

I've seen rare, random crashes (and other oddities) w/1P4 during my testing, when I quickly delete and then import items, and I've reported these to AgileBits. I can't recall if I've seen these with 1P5, but I'll keep watching and reporting as I find them.
