Thanks for your thorough (as usual) posting @100 Watt Walrus I'm also disappointed in this "release" which in my mind is still a beta at best. I fully understand that a full revamp of a product is bound to have issues that take time to resolve over the course of additional point releases, but the now MIA favicon feature in the released version is a big disappointment. While it was buggy for sure, I can't help but feel that at least some of the broken functions could have been fixed before releasing it to the public.
To add to the list above, it was also reported back in November on a thread that deleting an Enpass item does not show a warning dialog, nor does it explain that the item will be moved to the Trash location. This is a poor UX as it is easy to accidentally delete entries and not even realize it in some cases, and not know where they ended up unless you go hunting for them. It was acknowledged by the developers, but it was never addressed, so the problem still exists in this public release. That seems like low hanging fruit to address, but it was apparently ignored or put on the back burner.
I hope development is listening and will address some of the bigger issues in the short term with a point release on the near horizon.
