Couple of 1PW 8 for Mac comments
Hey,
I like the new design but overall I'm disappointed that it really doesn't feel very "Mac" like. It "feels" wrong. The preferences menu has a huge amount of missing features and information co...

4 years agoI realise that some of your changes may not cause an issue, but for me, the frustration lies within the consistency between 1Password and the operating system it is running on.
I've heard this frustration a lot, as has anyone who's spent much time in the Early Access forum category recently. As someone who has really only used Macs his entire life, I've been thinking about why this doesn't bother me, and on a whim I flipped through all the apps I have open right now.
Of those ten apps, the only ones that have a standard macOS preferences window are the ones made by Apple, five of them. That's highly anecdotal and I know there are many third party apps, perhaps most even, that have standard macOS preferences windows and typical macOS UI. But the third party apps I use constantly do not. That didn't even include 1Password actually; it's in the menu bar but not open at the moment.
Maybe this means the macOS third party app ecosystem is turning to trash. Or maybe it means these developers are spending more time writing apps that are incredibly useful and less time re-implementing them in multiple OS-specific UI frameworks.
Thanks for the file attachments though. I will certainly take a look at this and try to move all my linked file items back to good old attachments.
Great! I'm excited attachments are back too. :)
