[pass] [PATCH] Re: Setup for multiple password stores

[Adam Liter]

Thanks everyone for the responses and suggestions.

I think I like the idea of using PASSWORD_STORE_DIR the best if that's 
how QtPass works, too, but if I have time, I'll try to test out the 
patch and give you some feedback, Lenz.

Thanks! :)
