A few dumb questions immediately after installing 1Password 8 on Mac

@gussic – You shouldn't need to scroll to the top to find "All Categories." It's fixed, so it should remain available to click no matter where you're at in your scrolling journey. I'll pass along your feedback regarding having the option to select categories directly in the sidebar, though, that way we can track how many folks miss it. I'd be happy with a keyboard shortcut, myself, which I can only hope is on the roadmap. :)

@kaitlyn - Thanks - but yes as you've noted having to click to select a drop down find the item then click in again etc - all needlessly inefficient. I'd prefer it being brought back into the sidebar, or the option at least so that people who like it that way can still use it.

Can I ask why this was taken away in thee first place? Surely I can't be the only person to see that this is not particularly user friendly?

@kaitlyn I agree with @gussic. It is not a big change but it is in the wrong direction. If it enables some worthwhile benefit in use cases not applicable to @gussic and me I will accept it.

Thanks for the feedback, @gussic and @mikebore! It's been passed to the rest of the team here at 1Password. I don't know the reasoning behind the move to a new place, no. Perhaps someone from the development team can chime in, though.

Thanks @kaitlyn - it'd be great to get feedback from the dev team if they're around.

I have to say, the new App looks very pretty and feels fast when using it, but the switch to Electron has made it more resource hungry than the old 1P7 - I must admit there are a number of things (like this issue and the Electron issue) that have me gravely concerned for the future of 1P.

@gussic

Our Lead Designer, Dan Peterson talks more in-depth about why we changed how categories work over here. It might be worth a read!

Thanks @1P_Blake

I have to say the current iteration of how categories is implemented is completely untenable - a massive step back and actually makes it more confusing than before.

Why do you force those changes on people? Give us the choice to lay it out how we want and leave it at that.

If someone finds 1P7 difficult to learn as Dan indicates in his post then I am not sure you want them as a customer anyway.

All,

On the point of item counts, we've now added them to the bottom of the item list. Hopefully this will help. This feature is available in the latest nightly build at present.

@1P_Ben Thanks I am not on nightly builds so not seeing that yet.

Is it just for Logins or does it apply to whatever is selected in the top dropdown where "logins" is shown in your screenshot.?

Why is at the very bottom which would only be reached by much scrolling.

At the moment it seems a very poor replacement for the info shown in 1Password 7:

Hi @mikebore:

The item count will apply to whatever the current view is showing. In Ben's example, that would be however many Login items are in the vault or account he's currently viewing. Additionally, it's at the bottom of the item list in the window, not in at the bottom of your list via sorting.
