Question

V8 gripes

Folks, I thought I let you know my gripes with the new version 8 (run on a Samsung tablet).
The GUI looks nicer and the ability to search within entries (all matching objects) is very welcome, but there are a couple of issues that make using the app quite annoying - at least compared to version 7

  1. What I usually do upon opening the app is searching for an entry. It takes me four interactions to get to the "search" field - three if upon closing the app "search" was NOT selected (if it starts with search being selected in the menu, the main screen does not show the search field). This is really annoying. Maybe let me configure a search field on the home screen?
  2. Selecting an item in the menu does not automatically minimize the menu bar. Why would I want to stay there if I selected something like "search" or "all objects"?
  3. long pressing a field no longer copies that field.
  4. longer item names are truncated in the list on the left
  5. the archive is not copied over from V7

I think the V8 moves in the right direction - it just is not there yet ;)

Cheers
Alex

Hello @uwalakab thanks for following up with me.

I was able to replicate the issue with text size scaling and I've reported this to the developers. You should be able to use the show in large type feature regardless of your text size preference. Thanks for taking the time to check that yourself!

Glad to hear the issue with tablet orientation has resolved. If you run into any similar issues, just let us know!

Thanks again!

Hello @1P_Timothy,
sorry for the late reply...

ad 4) the search results are fine. It'd be niche if long titles were extended to a second line, yes.

ad 5) the archive is there on the web version and in the version 7. It just didn't get moved to version 8. No biggie, just sayin'

Cheers

++ Universal search field on all tabs. That’s my biggest loss from 1P v7.

Thanks for following up @ajastanax. Archived items should sync across your account. I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from 1Password 8 on your Android device:

@1P_Timothy, I've sent the diagnostics.
No BitBot reply, though, sorry.

My apologies @1P_Timothy but the forum went a bit weird when I made my post back then. The post I made disappeared for a brief moment, so I thought it was deleted, recreated it again and now there are two of the "Much B3Tt3r" posts.
Kind regards,
Benet.

@1P_Timothy, the archived items have indeed been transferred.
I am just too stupid to use an app.
Sorry about that.

Hi @uwalakab, that's no problem! Let us know if we can help with anything else.

@ajastanax, thanks for the update. That's no problem, I'm just glad to hear that it was resolved! Personally, I like to blame the hot summer on any sort of minor oversight 😂. Thanks again!
