Keyfile selection from Files/Webdav

[ghost]

Please, add some kind of possibility to select database's key file from webdav

Keyfile integration is hard. While there's a property for the key file path on the model (https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb/blob/develop/app/scripts/models/file-info-model.js#L16) , it's not being passed from the config we can provide (https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb/blob/develop/app/scripts/models/app-model.js#L79-L85). I'm also not sure what UX story we can expect here, there doesn't seem to be any popup file chooser we can reuse in Nextcloud, nor a Webdav file browser in Keeweb, and implementing either is a bit out of scope of this app.

For keyfile, maybe you can add a search box, no need for popup file chooser, in search box we can enter the path and the first letters

A search box sounds easier from the user perspective, but actually isn't any less involved from the backend code, it merely makes the UI part a little bit easier.

The other issue making this hard is that there's no really sane way to hook into Keeweb's UI.

@antelle sorry for calling you in on this, but if you think I'm missing something or have any other thoughts or ideas on it, I'd love to hear about them.

There's an issue in keeweb for keyfile selection: https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb/issues/183 (there are several concerns mentioned in the issue comments but generally it's a good idea, to allow selection from storage). Once it gets implemented, we could also add a config property for keyfile.

Is it possible now? I didn't find some option.

It would be even greater to load a key file from ftp/sftp/ftps.
