nopCommerce 3.80 BETA released. Please share your impressions

I think I like the new Admin GUI, but still getting used to it ;)
A few comments:

1) My main monitor is Portrait.  The Hints don't appear when the width of page is narrow.  (And the text wraps, but I guess that's to be expected)

2) It would be nice if the "Search" (for admin menu items) was in the main header, so that if the menu is collapsed, it would save a click.  Or, Focus the search box when the hamburger is clicked, so I can just start typing.

3) Some items did not come up in the Search - e.g. Search for "Product" does not show "Catalog > Products"

4) Consider showing "frequently used" menu items in main header

Sorry, my bad. It was too late at night with some beer on me :))

The "Apply for vendor account" is nice feature.  It would be nice that when the store owner / admin puts the customer into the Vendor role (i.e. "approves the vendor application"), that an email would be sent to customer/vendor.  (Requires a new message template).

Also, consider option in Vendor Settings:  "Add customer to vendor role when vendor is made Active".

Also, it's been mentioned before, but especially useful with new Vendor features...

Custom customer attributes should have an option to "Only show in admin"

Bug? If a Vendor uses the Settings on the admin Product Edit page to 'Check fields you want to see on the product details page in the "basic" mode.', it affects all administrators.

Also, the "Advanced Settings" on product page should be an option in Vendor Settings as to whether it should be available for Vendors.

The above happens in Chrome.  In IE, it's OK unless I make the width even smaller.

Suggestion: In Product Edit page, Manufacturers should be a selectable "Mapping" for Basic Settings, because many stores don't use it.

The Basic/Advance toggle and the Configuration should also be in the Product list (Admin>catalog>products>) since they affect Exports
