when reading https://www.passwordstore.org/ you notice 2 approaches for registering metadata:

  1. either you register the metadata within the password file as "google-password":
myPassword

url: www.google.com
login: toto
  1. or you create a folder with a file per password and per metadata:
# filename                           -> Content
google-password/password  -> myPassword
google-password/url             -> www.gooogle.com
google-password/login          -> toto

I always used the first approach but recently I've had to use the 2nd (supported by passFF too) because it made some script easier to write (password show shows the whole file, and when using PasswordCmd in mbsync or other programs, if you want to just retreive your login, it is suprisingly hard with just pass, without wrapping the script and the 2nd approach makes this possible. You can pass show any metadata.

Thus I wondered if we could have an import mode that follows "2" ?
