Reporting some issues
Hey -
I'm not on the beta channel, but I recently switched to 1P8 and have noticed a few little issues. OK for me to report them here? Or is there a better way?
And is it alright if I just...

Another issue I ran into was my first attempt at linking 1Password to a MacOS desktop app instead of the browser. The app I was testing is the Transmit FTP App by Panic software (https://panic.com/transmit/). At first, I was quite frustrated in all of my attempts at getting an item from my 1Password vault to autofill in Transmit. I ultimately found a trick to do it but it was almost by luck, and far from obvious. Here is how I figured it out, let me know if there is some more obvious way that I missed for linking an app to a 1Password item.
1) If I used Quick Access while having the Transmit App open, it would offer me only the credentials for logging into the Panic.com website:
2) I could search for the credential I wanted and copy the fields one-by-one, but that isn't the same as "auto-filling into your Mac apps" as advertised.
3) What I finally noticed after multiple dead ends was that the Panic.com item that was recommended by Quick Access had a "Autofill" command in the "More Actions" panel, which the item I was trying to Autofill did not. I noticed the keyboard shortcut for that Autofill command was "Shift-Return"
4) So going back to the item I wanted to autofill, I tried hitting "Shift-Return" even though the Autofill option was not displayed, and that worked! It displayed a new dialog where I could choose to "Fill & Update Login"
I still don't see the "Autofill" option under the More Actions panel for this item, but the default action for this item is now Autofill, and the item is presented automatically in Quick Access when the Transmit app has focus. It also put a magical "Linked Apps" section into the item in the 1Password app. This Linked Apps section cannot be added or edited, but can only be deleted.
