What's New in pwSafe 2
+1
10.6.4
January 2, 2025
- The new layout now uses the same (variable-width) font as the legacy layout.
If you prefer the fixed-width font introduced in the 10.6 release, you can easily enable it in the Settings.
- Fix username alignment when there are no suggestions
- Localization improvements
New entry layout
================
The new entry layout is now enabled by default!
More information on the new layout is available on the support site:
https://support.huvisoft.dev/hc/en-us/articles/32672310996628-New-Entry-Layout
Feedback on the new layout is much appreciated, just leave a comment on the page linked above.
Updated Review: Developer contacted me and said they’ll continue to provide an option to enable legacy view in future releases. This is important to me because I like to see all available PW entry fields, regardless of whether they’re populated or not. This acts as an instant reminder to me as to which fields are available in the event I decide to create, edit or clone a record. Thank you.
****************************** I have loved and used this PW app for years now, but after the new layout mode was inflicted on me with the latest version, I hate it! Even though you can change back to legacy display mode in settings, the app description states that they’ll be doing away with the legacy view mode in the next version being released. I can’t understand why the developer would force users into the new layout, especially when you won’t be able to revert to legacy mode anymore in the future releases. When I open a PW entry, I want to see ALL fields by default, not just what the app decides to show me. Just another great app ruined by developers who just can’t leave well enough alone. I will NOT be updating this app from this point forward.

Response from developer
Thanks for the updated review. To avoid any misunderstanding: the legacy layout will be available during the 10.6.x update while we make sure that all reported issues and suggestions are addressed. Like yours, keep an eye out for 10.6.3 (to be released soon) which will automatically show all common fields (like username and notes) while editing an entry, so you don't even need to change a setting for that. I think that addresses the issue you raised earlier. Please give it a try when it is released, if there is anything else that needs improvement in your opinion, we are very much interested to know. All 10.6.x versions will have the option to revert to the legacy layout, so you can safely upgrade to any 10.6.x version without losing that ability.
