How do I drag and drop an app on to 1Password to create a new software license entry?

Omitting drag and drop support in many areas feels like the ui/ux designers actually never used any of the previous macOS 1Password versions.

Edit: added missing designers after ui…

There are a few of us who have used 1Password back to version 2. Don't worry, we'll keep advocating on your, err all of our behalf's.

@1P_Tommy thank you👍

Always happy to improve things for you, @viswiz - and I've just added a vote on your behalf for this specific issue.

Please add my vote. I'm adding several new programs and now it's a very manual process. 😢

Thank you @sylvaticus. I've added your vote and appreciate you letting us know how this affects your workflow.

I've been using 1Password since version 3—buying every update when it was released and now I have a subscription. However with all those new versions I'm very frustrated to observe that the application is losing more and more useful features.

For instance, in the past it was possible to drag an application into the 1Password window to add an entry for a software license and the page would open automatically after dropping the application in order to fill it in.

Then in version 5 it was still possible to drag the application into 1Password, but the new entry would no longer open automatically and you each time had to search for it before being able to edit it. I felt this was a serious degradation of the user experience, since it is obvious a user wants to add a serial number after dragging an app to the password manager.

Now I've tried to do the same again in 1Password 8.9.8 and I notice that now it's no longer possible at all to drag an application to 1Password. There is only error message informing me that I dropped a type of file that 1Password can't handle.

It is incomprehensible to me, why a company decides to degrade their application, by actively removing established functionality that was really useful and made the application easy to use. If this trend continues I guess I will have to look for a new password manager in the future …

For the record, I miss being able to drag and drop apps to create new entries as well… I REALLY miss it…
