4 years agoHi Ali,
Thank you for your reply, but I'm very unsatisfied with it.
These should not be "feature requests", because this functionality was there in v7 and is now stolen from the users! It's unacceptable that users have to "vote up" features that exist in v7.
Strange thing is, that YOU are asking ME to tell more about great functions that WERE in v7. But okay, let's go.
Once upon a time there was a nice creature called Seven, until the Great King decided to kill it and replace it with creature Eight. The Kings' subjects weren't very happy with Eight, but the Kings' advisors assured the King that Eight was awesome and that all his subjects liked it a lot.
What I mean with this story is: who decided that v8 should look this way and which functionality should be dropped? If there is some user advisory board, it certainly is not representative.
About specific features I mentioned:
Missing in iOS:
1. Search in titles only
in V7 you could choose where to search:
in v8 it first only searches in titles. If the string is not in the title, you have to scroll down the entire list, select "Show all matching items" and than again scroll down the entire list to finally find what you are looking for.
2. Moving fields within an item
This also mentioned by community member nimvio who started this thread.
in v7 you could move fields of an item up and down, in v8 not anymore.
For example: if you look at an Identity item, there are default fields like "website", "ICQ", "skype", etc. If I would like to have "skype" at the top, in v7 I can move that field up in Edit-mode. This is specifically useful if you have added several fields with customized titles which you want to reorganize.
Missing in Windows:
2. The password generator has disappeared from the menu
in v7 if you clicked on the 1P tray icon, there was an option to get a separate password generator. I often have to generate temporary passwords for users, which I DON'T want to add to my 1P vaults. That's what I used this generator for. Yes, there are lots of other applications and sites which can do this, but I wanted to rely on a trustworthy application, so I was glad that I could use the 1P generator for this.
Greetings,
Rene
