Category Reveal?

Thanks, Dave.

OK, every category has its distinct icon, but where do you find the category icon for a particular item when your in "All Categories" view?

To answer your question, sometimes I forget what I named an item (ah, yes, it happens to poor me) so the first thing I would do (after sorting by "Date Created" if I just added it) is examine the category where I most likely would have put it.

Also, since categories are required, it just seems to me that being able to readily see an item's category is, well, kind of essential. This could be accomplished by highlighting the item's Category when the item is selected. This actually happens in Category view (where it is actually redundant) but not in "All Items/All Categories" view.

(Come to think of it, "All Items" and "All Categories" appear to perform exactly the same function.)

I'm thinking of something like this:

This brings up a couple of more "wish list" additions:

1. Would be nice if I could create my own categories, i.e., customize categories. I find it bit odd, for instance, that "Wireless Router" has its own category, but not other hardware items, such as phones, computers, tablets, printers. Most people only have a single wireless router, but everyone has more than one device. I tend to stash all my hardware under the "Wireless Router" category. It's a bit awkward but, eh, it's a workaround.

2. Would be nice to be able to change item categories.

3. The category "Software Licenses" might be usefully changed to, oh, "Software Licenses & Subscriptions," since many software products we love are subscribed to, rather than licensed.

And while on the wish list:

1. 'Twould be really great if you could do text searches in all fields, including notes, rather than just the item names. I'm thinking along the lines of the Contacts app in macOS, where searching on notes is a built in feature.

2. And also great would be a template for telephone field additions. So, for example, you would tell 1Password to store phone numbers as, for example, (999) 555-1234. There are templates for Dates and Month/Year -- they're great.

Thank you, as always, for entertaining these ideas. I hope I haven't missed something obvious, or are asking for a feature already in 1Password.

P.S. I notice that the Comment editor does some formatting automatically, such as numbering. I just noticed the icons at the top of the Comment box, which appear do MarkDown editing — awesome. I've also down a MarkDown of my own here and there, for emphasis — and fun!
