Does anyone have any news on Roboform 7. There's not been an update in a while so I wonder if they are gearing up for a big release

Nothing official regarding RoboForm 7, but I do feel that is coming too. I mean they're now at 6.9.90 and the latest major version was released in September 2004. Plus, I've seen in a reply an official from Siber gave to CNET (http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/roboform-for-mac-released-in-2009) that it's possible to release a RoboForm for Mac version early next year - it might be the moment they release version 7 too.
I know that lately they've been working more on releasing the RoboForm Enterprise version, because let's face it, it's much more money in the enterprise licensing environment. Now that it's released for a couple of months, maybe they'll focus on us, the small but many home users.

I really hope they take a look at custom fields in RF7. Over the years i've created quite a lot of them and I feel the current way of handling them isn't very good. By this I mean all the fields are are in one massive list so it's very hard to organise and work with them. Ideally i'd like a way to organise them into folders or tabs based on the information they hold.
I've mentioned this to them a couple of times and they have said it's something they will consider.

I assume you're talking about custom fields in Passcards, not those in Identities? I don't work that much with them, from time to time I add a custom field in the Identity but I don't use that much those in Passcards. It's puzzling to me for what you use that many custom fields, and I'm asking because I don't want to miss a feature that might be great and I don't know that much about it.

Actually I am talking about custom fields in the identity.
I fill out a lot of forms on the internet which is one of the reasons for me purchasing roboform. For instance when I want car/house insurance I can go to a number of insurers web pages and fill in long forms and they'll give me a quote. These forms basically ask for the same information but vary slightly on what they call their fields. To help me fill these forms in with great speed I use roboform and have added all the extra information these forms ask for into custom fields. A few example for car insurance are car registration, annual mileage, where my car kept at night, etc. I must have a dozen fields or so just for car insurance, then I have fields for other forms I fill out as well.
I've got to the stage now where Roboform fills in 99% of the forms ok but occasionally i'll come across a field it misses and I have to go back into custom fields and add it for the next time. The problem is that all my custom fields are all mixed up so it's hard to see what i've added for each category, house insurance, car insurance etc. So i've requested that Roboform gets the ability to add folders or tabs to the custom fields so that I can organise them all into the right categories.
This would help a lot when I need to update an item of information, for instance my car number plate, because I might have two or three different custom fields for one item of information. At the moment I have to look through the whole list to try and catch them all. If I could sort the fields into folders I could just look under car/car insurance and all the number place fields would be in one place.
I got a message back saying they would consider it for version 7.

Thanks for the detailed answer, see what you mean now. I don't have more than 5-6 custom fields per identity, so that's not a big problem for me :). I'm thinking that a good approach for the new version might be to pull out the Custom Fields as a separate entity (so you would have passcards, safenotes, identities and custom fields). This way they could be organized in folders and not necessarily tide up to an identity/passcard.
Anyway, did they hint on any other features that we might expect in version 7 (I had no luck in having them tell me any)?
