Are Smart Folders supported in 1Password 8 yet?
I've avoided upgrading to 1Password 8 so far, due to Smart Folders not being supported, which I make extensive use of in 1Password7. I can see various posts re Smart Folders in the forums here, but d...

2 years agoThank you for the reply. I agree that Smart Folders were useful to many and our team is working on further building 1Password 8's search capabilities so that search filters become more capable. The current feature set is described here: Search in the 1Password app to find what you need
I've passed along all of your comments as they'll help the team understand what kind of search features you're looking for in 1Password 8. I can't promise that Smart Folders will be implemented but I can say that Search will continue to get better and more powerful.
While tags are useful, they're nowhere near as flexible as Smart Folders. Smart Folders allow you to create selections based on multiple tags, which is so much more useful than simply viewing the contents of one tag at a time.
Have you considered using nested tags for some items? You can create parent and child tags and then view all child tags by selecting the parent tag: Organize with favorites and tags
Is there any way to 'favourite' certain tags so that they stand out from all the other tags?
There isn't at the moment but I think that's an interesting idea and I've filed a feature request on your behalf. For now, you can quickly pull up a certain tag by typing a search filter. So if you want to see your Recipes tag you can search =tag:Recipes
While I can see the value of collections, having to constantly switch between collections to use my own personal/business logins, and a separate collection for Client logins, would be annoying as hell.
It's shouldn't be more than a two-click process:
- Click on the account selector in the top right corner.
- Click on the appropriate collection.
You can also quickly switch between collections using Command-1 to Command-9 on your keyboard.
Personally I find using collections makes managing my work and personal items much easier. It would definitely be a change in your workflow but I'd be interested to hear about your experience if you do give 1Password 8 a try in the future. 🙂
