Local Tools 1.8.4 Released: Cascading Lists and more

This release brings a ton of bug fixes and improvements, along with a few new features.  The main improvement is the way item types are selected. With the increase in type of items (media, kitchen, camera coming soon, etc.) we needed a better way to select the type of a new item or change the type of an existing item (also a new feature), so we decided to go with “cascading lists”:

You can see a full list of features, improvements and bug fixes below.
