Dear Maintainer, Perform the following steps: 1. Create the keePass database in ~/Documents/. 2. Create a symbolic link from the database above in ~/Desktop/. 3. Start keepass2 using this symbolic link. 4. Make some changes in users, passwords, etc. 5. Save the database and quit keepass2. Now the database in ~/Documents/ will not have changed. The symbolic link in ~/Desktop/ will have been replaced by a regulare file, that is, a database containing the changes made in step 4 above.
