Attachments in standalone vaults vs 1password.com vaults.
I switched to subscription back in 2018.

Hello 1P_Ben
Thank you for the info.
Indeed this would be very convenient, since as @bundtkate mentioned - 1Password 8 now supports attachments the same way as standalone vaults in 1Password 7.
Being able to move to 1Password 8 from v7 in such a way that attachments are simply shown the same way as in standalone vault in v7 would definitely result in a smooth transition.
Supporting attachments in v8, but not being able to move the data, without pilling up all the list of items with attachments does not make much sense in my eyes.
As mentioned, I have around 1200 items in total in standalone vault in 1P 7. I do not wish that figure to jump to 1300 simply since attachments get detached from particular items and then get shown in "All items" view. At the moment those attachments are not named in any structured way, since they are only used rarely when needed.
Moreover, as mentioned already, I really like how things work in standalone vaults when it comes to attachments. It's not really about renaming 100 or so items, so that it does not look like a complete mess.
Thank you for taking this migration path into account. I really hope 1P 8 will mature into a product that will be considered an upgrade by most macOS users.
