Why are useful features dropped in v8? Is going back to 7 possible?
Hi,
using 1Password for so many years now, I don't care so much about fancy design as for efficient workflows. Now I'll have to realize that some features, that were part of my daily workflows, have simply been dropped in v8 making things much more complicated:
- Dragging an application to 1Password to create a license entry, prefilled with name, version and logo of the application. Now, this needs to be done in many cumbersome steps...
- Typing a string in the search to limit the list to matching items and browse their details. For example, typing 'visa' limits the list to all VISA cards, now I can scroll through the list, read each entries' comments and compare for example. Now I can only choose an item from the dropdown, read it, type "visa" again, choose another entry, read it, type "visa" again, ... This has become so much more uncomfortable now...
Two questions:
Does anyone know the reason why these useful features have been dropped?
Is it possible to go back to version 7 without data loss?

Thank you for explaining your use case further, I've added it to the internal tracking item for the request so that our product team is aware. 🙂

Hi Grey,
thanks for quick and helpful answer and explanation. As a software engineer, I see the pain (and joy ;-) ) of full rewrites.
If you press ⌘↩ (Command–Enter) after your search, you'll see a list of results
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was missing. :-). I completely overlooked that option.Dragging an application to 1Password to create a license entry, prefilled with name, version and logo of the application.
We've had requests to bring this feature back, so I'll add your vote for it.That would be realy helpful. For example, I just bought a Bundle Hunt software bundle. Before v8, entering 5-10 apps was a matter of a few minutes: Drag app, paste serial, drag app, paste serial, ... . Now this is so much work (as I still love to have icons and version), that I'll delay doing this, hoping the revived feature comes first in 1Password :-))
Thank you,
Tobi

Hi there @hoeni
1Password 8 was a complete rewrite from the ground up because of the change to the Rust programming language, and so that we can make 1Password a uniform experience across Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, and Linux. As such, none of the existing code from 1Password 7 is present in 1Password 8.

If you press ⌘↩ (Command–Enter) after your search, you'll see a list of results, like this:
That'll then allow you to click each result and check its contents without losing the list of results. You could click "Show all matching items" at the bottom of the search overlay instead.
We still provide installers for discontinued versions of 1Password on our Downloads website in the "Using an older computer?" section in the bottom-right corner.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)
