"All Categories" in the sidebar PLEASE

There are already five threads asking for the All Categories to be restored to the sidebar. I can't find *any * posts saying the opposite. Nor any can I find any threads in 1Password 7 requesting the "All Categories" to be moved out of the sidebar! Why did you do it?

Unlike many people,I have no other problem with 1Password 8 (except loss of item count) and the "All Categories" seems such a minor issue to correct.

Please assure me it is on the list to change OR explain why you won't/can't do it.

Thanks

    Agree with @sjk09

    There are many things could be in the sidebar, but given the real user scenario is widely different, I'd love to see a customizable sidebar in the preference pane.

    I mean not only did I want all categories back, but also some of them gone from sidebar.

  • Thanks for letting us know you would find this beneficial too. I have passed this over to the rest of the team.

    +1 here too. An better option...

    • Is to provide a toggle for the user to select a preference in the 'Preferences' menu. Thanks.

    Just wanted to chime in with another +1. If there's room for collapsible tags in the sidebar, there's absolutely room for collapsible categories (with item counts) as well, and there's no doubt in my mind that they should come back in a future build.

    Hey folks 😃 Thanks for raising this with us! As @mikebore mentioned, the topic has also been discussed elsewhere and previously in the forums, so we do know this is something some folks would like to see. I have added your requests to our internal discussion around the issue. 👍

    As a matter of course, we only share new features (or changes to an existing build) once it's done - going with the mantra of "under-promise, over-deliver". But I promise we're paying attention, and will do our best to provide an app that will knock your socks off, unless you have particularly durable or recalcitrant socks, or some kind of specialized sock-retention system. 🤔

    In any case, we appreciate the feedback!

    +1.

    Put Categories back in the sidebar where God intended and add the item counts back for good measure.

    Why did you do it?

    Supposedly because it was "too confusing" and the sidebar was "too crowded". Just like old mini was "too big". I'm convinced there's someone on the team who won't rest until the app opens up to white space and shows nothing until you start searching.

    Totally agree (as I've probably already posted..) but as a family user having the sidebar is almost pointless now.
    Don't use tags, don't have lots of vaults.

    +1 from me. Categories in sidebar are much easier to use than a menu that you frist have to open in order to select anything.
