Ideally I should be able to copy things directly out of 1PW. right click, copy. Or the app should use a widget that supports click/drag.

It took me a while just to DISCOVER the steps to getting a file out of 1pw, which involved a lot of false starts into different menus/screens that allow you to view the file's metadata (or preview) without actually getting the file.

Considering "copy field" is THE main functionality of 1PW, it's absolutely insane you can't just copy a file field.

the comparison to me is having the file in my downloads/desktop, which is a very simple procedure to do, as many or fewer clicks, and is a well-worn path.



Agreed it could be a bit quicker or more intuitive, but this seems to be a use-case I don't need to work with too often, so it's not bothered me.

I'm guessing there's a mix of performance concern and privacy concern. They want to make sure you're intentionally revealing the secret (image) and they want to hold off on decrypting the file until needed. It feels like decrypting a file is a fairly slow operation (although I'm not really sure why).

I just don't think comparing to the file in your local files is quite the same, since it's not encrypted / behind password protection. If you did this sort of thing a lot, you'd probably have it optimized down to a very accessible shortcut, after all.
