Windows Beta Initial Impressions
First of all, thank you for releasing this!
Now, on to a couple things I've noticed on the new Windows Beta:
- When you signin to your family account it sits there and I'm wondering if i should restart the app, or something. There's nothing to say "hang on we're logging you in, warming up the mice, aligning the gears" or the like.
- I initially clicked the email button to email this to you but then realized such updates are probably better posted in the beta forum. Closed the email, then went to search for a login. When I typed something in the search box and hit "enter" it would launch my email client and a window to the folder that has the diagnostic file. Not until I locked and then unlocked the database could I get the search to work.
- Clicking on the password does not copy it. Clicking on the "copy" link does copy the password but gives no visible feedback that it's been copied.
- I searched for a login in one vault, found it and clicked on it. Then switched vaults and searched for a different login. Found it and clicked "edit" at which point the screen reset and took me back to the first vault with the search results pulled up. I clicked on one of the search result items and it took me directly to the edit window for that item.
Personally I still prefer the browser interface (for now) but see a lot of potential here and am looking forward to the future build out of the app. I can't wait for it to get to the stage the OSX and iOS versions are at because those apps rock.
1Password Version: 2016.5.1702d

OS Version: Windows 10

I tried the Windows 10 beta app a few months ago, but aborted since I wasn't able to create a brand new vault. And now I try it again, as well as this new app, and I still can't create a new vault. Bah....

@Zach thanks for sharing with your feedback, the app indeed lack of progress and other indicators that something is happening, it's coming later for sure! The internal navigation issues are is being fixed, thank you for spotting it :)

@MrC while we aim to replace existing app with this new desktop app, we are not there yet. Folder based vaults can not be edited so far, this is why there is no way to create a new vault or add an item there. The workaround is to create and modify it in older desktop app - 1Password 4 for Windows.
We do understand that many people want it to happen already and we are taking all possible steps to get there ASAP.

When the beta app locks (after no activity) logging back in has me viewing "all vaults". Before it locked, I was on "XXXX Vault", but coming back in, it's on ALL...I'd prefer it stay in the same condition it was in when I left...I think you are losing your filter settings when you lock yourself.

Hi @jedierik20,
Thanks for letting us know, we are working on improving the beta apps to retain the preview state after unlocking (and other areas like going to Settings). Right now, it is defaulting to All Vaults too often and we plan to fix that soon.

That's very nice to hear, thank you! We still have a lot of work ahead but it is nice to know we're on the right track.
