Hi, using 1Password for so many years now, I don't care so much about fancy design as for efficient workflows. Now I'll have to realize that some features, that were part of my daily workflows, have simply been dropped in v8 making things much more complicated: Dragging an application to 1Password to create a license entry, prefilled with name, version and logo of the application. Now, this needs to be done in many cumbersome steps... Typing a string in the search to limit the list to matching items and browse their details. For example, typing 'visa' limits the list to all VISA cards, now I can scroll through the list, read each entries' comments and compare for example. Now I can only choose an item from the dropdown, read it, type "visa" again, choose another entry, read it, type "visa" again, ... This has become so much more uncomfortable now... Two questions: Does anyone know the reason why these useful features have been dropped? Is it possible to go back to version 7 without data loss? 1Password Version: 8.9.4 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: 12.6 Browser:_ Not Provided

Hi,

Is it possible to go back to version 7 without data loss?

@hoeni I‘ve asked several times why search was changed to this uncommon UI/UX pattern… still waiting for an answer🤔

I‘m using 1PW since version 1 and participating in this forum for many years. In all those years I‘ve never seen complaints about search …until 1PW 8 was released😳 The ‚team‘ is looking into all those problems for months. Maybe they should stop looking and start to reimplementing the search UI of the previous versions.

"Maybe they should stop looking and start to reimplementing the search UI of the previous versions."

Exactly. Your users are telling you search worked before, and it does not now. What else do you need to know? I understand you cannot reuse the code because you chose to rewrite the app in a different language. Are you telling us it's not possible to implement the same functionality using this new language?
