Add path based username detection

[G3sit]

Motivation

I am using a file naming scheme like: <Category>/<Website>/<Username>/password.gpg. I am using it, because of Android Password Store. Thus, I want to extract the username from the file path.

Proposal

1. The easiest way to add this, would be to add a regex option for the file path. This would make it possible to extract the username from every place I can imagine.
2. It would also be possible to add an option to choose which parent folder to use (so first parent folder, second parent folder, ...)

To be honest, the second option would be nicer and sufficient for most users, but the first is more versatile.

I would be interested to implement this feature.

I didn't know the android one could work like that, I only put usernames in the password files because of pass-winmenu 😅

off-topic did you see how the android one has apparently been abandoned? I couldn't install it on my newer phone

[G3sit]

Yeah, I only realized it was abandoned, while writing this issue.

I currently keep the username in the file, and it's path at the same time, which is a little cumbersome.

My Linux setup also uses the file path, so it would be nice to have this feature, even if I switch to another android app.
