Set default Collection
Hey, is there a way to set one of my Collections as a default so that it will be selected / turned on everytime I open 1P8? It's a bit annoying doing this manually all of the time.
Windows 11, 1P8 latest nightly.

Hey @"jack.platten"
Thanks for the ansewer.When i change the Collection the value of
"ui.routes.lastUsedRoute"
changesfrom
"{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE1\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",
to
"{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE2\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",
(where VALUE1/VALUE2 is alphanumeric text string)
but when I lock/unlock or close/open 1p again, the value of
"ui.routes.lastUsedRoute"
resets to VALUE1.I've just reinstalled 1p, updated to 80500064 (and deleted old
%localappdata%\1Password
folder), but the problem still exists. Not sure if it matters, but desktop app is connected with 1p Brave extension.The rest of the
settings.json
:
{
"updates.updateChannel": "NIGHTLY",
"advanced.EnableDebuggingTools": true,
"itemDetails.showWebFormDetails": true,
"updates.autoUpdate": false,
"app.theme": "dark",
"ui.routes.lastUsedRoute": "{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE1\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",
"security.autolock.minutes": 60

Hi namiaro:
Apologies for the delayed response. I wasn't able to replicate this behavior on 80500063.
Just as a quick check, if you navigate to
%localappdata%\1Password\settings
in File Explorer, and opensettings.json
in Notepad (right click > Open With> Notepad), change collections, and opensettings.json
again so you now have two separate Notepad windows open, is the value of"ui.routes.lastUsedRoute"
different between the two windows?Jack

Still a problem in the latest nightly...

Saving previously used Collection in the main app window when locking/exiting the app still doesn't work on latest nightly (1Password for Windows 8.5.0 80500035). It was fine in beta. It gets really irritating when you lock/unlock the app often.
"Quick Access now supports changing vault collections independently from the main 1Password window." from the latest changelog - a) Selected collection resets in Quick Access after locking/exiting the app, b) If i select e.g. "Everyday" Collection both in Quick Access and in the main app, the Collection resets in the main app after using "Open in 1Password" in Quick Access.

Scenario is basically the same as described in earlier posts - let's say I've got two Collections: 1. "Everyday" and 2. "Hide me".
If I'm in and select "Everyday" Collection and then lock or quit the app (checked both), after unlocking or restarting the app I'm returned back to "All items" under MAIN account. I've tried selecting different Vaults within "Everyday" Collection, but I'm always back to "All items" under main account. It was fixed in late nightly version just before stable v8 was released but it's not working again.
Hiding tags is working fine - if I select "Everyday" Collection, I'm not seeing any tags from "Hide me" Collection.
Another weird behaviour I've found out (and mentioned it in the other topic) is resetting selected "Everyday" Collection to "All items" under MAIN account when using Quick Access and "Open in 1password" option. It's a bug in my opinion, the shortcut should do exactly what it says in its description and nothing more. The reset concerns not only Quick Access but the selected Collection in the main app also.

Hi namiaro,
That's strange, I'm running that same version (on my Mac) and it's working for me. Could you provide some steps for me to reproduce it so I can get it fixed up?
There are a few places where we don't yet persist your location (tags and search are the most common) so if you happened to be looking at a tag, or looking at search results, it will appear like a regression.
