Some issues with Line Style dialog

tkansgar shared this problem 7 years ago
Solved

Hi,


I have some issues with the Line Style dialog ("Linienstil" in german):


  • When I touch the squared colour button to get the dialog for selecting a line colour, I often get no reaction. Sometimes I have to touch that button ten or more times, before the dialog appeares. And so, when I tip too quickly and too often, I choose accidentally the wrong colour. Then I have to try getting the dialog again to select the correct colour.
  • In that dialog adjusting the visibility range ("Sichtweite in german, "Transparenz" formerly) to a particular value is very difficult. Often, when I release the finger, the choosen value changes to another one. There should be a "+" and a "-" button besides this ruler just like those for adjusting the line width.


Perhaps you could improve the app in these points in future version?

Good day tkansgar,

understand. I'm testing it on my two old devices and on both

a) tap on a small color button that open color preferences, is a lot better with latest version. Believe you will find it better as well

b) I cannot anyway confirm issue with selecting percents of opacity. For me it looks like some minor issue on your device. Because of this "uniqueness", I'll not invest time to improve/fix it, thanks for understanding.

Good day tkansgar,

really interesting you have such troubles with Locus Map. Is same problem, with tap on certain button, happen also on different place in Locus Map? Also what device and Android version are you using?

Hi Menion,


no, these problems I have only at the mentioned places. And once the colour selection dialog is on screen, I don't have any problem with choosing the desired colour. The difficulty is only getting the dialog on screen.


My device is a Samsung S3 mini with Android 4.1.2. If you think, my problems are related to my old Android, please forget them. Then I will wait for a new smartphone with a new Android version.


Many thanks

Hello,

I|m checking clicking area of this picker and indeed, it's smaller then it should be. I'm just preparing new Locus Map version, so once updated, please try it and let me know, should be better.


About problem with transparency slider, it is issue in "basic" or "advanced" tab? Maybe a screenshot with visible problematic place, thanks.

Hi Menion,


I only use the basic tab, but may be on advanced tab it's the same. I just tried both of them. On both sometimes I succeed and sometimes don't. Mostly, when I adjust 78%, I get 80% when releasing the finger. If there were "+" and "-" buttons beside the slider, I would prefer to use them to adjust the exact value.


I don't know how to create a screenshot on my S3mini. The tips I found in the web don't work here.


Many thanks

Hello,

thank you for your answer. Issue you write about is possible. To be true, is precise value really needed? There is no precise method to define percent values, because from my point of view, +- 5% doesn't make any difference and should be only waste of space.

Hi Menion,


ok, that sounds plausibly. But then the slider feigns a wrong precision. The steps should be 5% instead of 1%. But now it doesn't matter for my part.


Many thanks
