I just tried to open my KeePass2 database with KeePassX, and got the error message - Wrong signature. I keep my database on Dropbox and a key file on my hard drive. When I used KeePassX to access the database on Dropbox, it did not show up in the file finder until I selected all files. The database is .kdbx. I entered the location of the database key file when prompted, and then entered my password. That is when I go the error message. Are these two programs compatible, or am I stuck with the Windows/wine for my existing password repository? I looked at the import options for KeePassX, and all I see are KeePassX (xml), PWManager (pwm), or KWallwet (xml). Nothing for KeepPass2. Thanks!
