#1 The Category ListView appears to do nothing.

[Gustavo Carreno]

Hi there,

I'm not sure what you intended for the ListView that has the categories, but it seems not to be working.

I was expecting to have at least a "All" where I could view all my entries and then when clicking on a category all other entries would not be listed, apart the ones under that category.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, in advance, for any response.

Cheers,
Gus

To better exemplify I've created 2 entries and selected Banking.
I'm attaching an image.

Hey Christopher,

Having played a bit more with the app I now see how you're implementing the Category TListView: You select one of the items on the Entries TListView and call the ListViewClicked Method.

Not really intuitive, since all other similar UIs have the same behaviour of hidding all entries not pertaining to chosen category and there's always an All Category to view them all. But it's just my personal opinion.

Cheers,
Gus

That's right, the Category listview acts as a bookmark to jump to that specific section of ListView1

[Gustavo Carreno]

SO I'm presuming by your answer that you group items by their category on ListView1, right?

[Christopher Hawkins]

That's right, the ListView holding your entries is grouped together in the same order as the list of categories on the left.
It's probably more apparent / useful when your list of logins is larger but if you export your list as a plain text file from File > Create backup you should see your list grouped together by category.

Oky, that makes sense.

But, and sorry to insist, I've read so many UX articles that these questions run constantly through my mind:

Is it common on other Password Lockers to have this behaviour?
Would there be a way to inform the user about this difference?

[Christopher Hawkins]

To be honest, if the default behaviour of the interface isn't what you were expecting then I probably need to look into changing that rather than informing the user about the difference.

The 'jump to category' feature probably isn't as intuitive as just displaying the relevant category and hiding the ones that aren't selected. It shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

I'm cool with whatever you do.
