1PW8 - Missing Category view in left bar

We're glad you like the implementation, @stilgar! Thanks for providing feedback along the way.

I agree with everything aexvir said. Happy to see this return. Glad we got an implementation that was workable.

Thanks for the shout out, telephoneman2!

Glad you're enjoy the change. Regarding keeping the selection in between the sidebar and the item list filter, I see where you're coming but they have different intents so I'm happy we've kept them separate. I believe were we landed strikes a good balance between the various concerns. Time will tell though – it always does. 🙂

@aexvir: It's great to hear you like the update. Thanks for letting us know it was important to you. 🤗 I hear you on your +1 for further sidebar customization. It's definitely something I could see us adding at some point.

Take care,

I can confirm that this is a really welcome change for me; it's so much nicer to actually have useful data on the sidebar 😅️
thanks for listening to the feedback!!

as bonus point, it would be nice if the categories could be sorted; that would allow for more relevant information display... I've seen this mentioned in some other post and just wanted to +1 on that

but still, I'm really happy that this change has landed 🙂

Hey @Stilgar @aexvir, just want to let you know that there is now an option in the latest Beta to add Categories permanently to the sidebar if you prefer that layout. 👍

In case you're curious to try it, you can do this by downloading (or updating to) the 8.6.0-6 Beta, and then:

1. Select Settings > Appearance
2. Turn the Categories option under "Always Show in Sidebar" to on.

What do you think? We'll be eager to have your impressions of the change! 😀

dteare just one optimizing thing - maybe it makes sense to synchronize the selection of categories in Side bar with the upper filter and have it selectable in both places. So I can switch the cateogry from the upper bar as well? That should fit both ways to use it. Currently once I am selecting sidebar I can't use the upper bar before switch to "all objects"

Thanks for saying so, telephoneman2. Glad to hear you like the update. :)

dteare THANK YOU for bringing the categories back to the sidebar!!!!!! I have just installed the update. GREAT!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. 🤗

We've been doing some experimentation on enabling categories to be added to the sidebar. Be sure to check out the exploring sidebar categories thread for details and add your thoughts and 👍🏻 if it's what you were hoping for.
