[Survey] Which patches would make sense for upstream

That this patch is not upvoted is just curious, this is a must have for any sailor

The reason for a carousel (in general) is: "No dead end."
This makes it easier for inexperienced users to find their way around.

Like a couple of other suggestions, IMHO this should rather be optional.

BTW (as I have never tried this Patch), how does it differ from having Settings --> Gestures --> Quick Events access disabled (which is the default, IIRC)?

I wouldn't mind if it was an option, just like the swipe down to close an app.

I cannot use this patch anymore as it has not been updated, so I'm not comfortable commenting too much on the details of how it differs. However, I think one difference from enabling "Quick events access" in the Settings for instance was that you could be in one application (full screen), swipe from the left to show the events, and then when closing them, you would be back on the full screen application instead of the task switcher. With the current option in Settings > Gestures, you cannot go back from Events to an Application directly, even if you were in an application when you showed the events, you have to go through the app switcher first. In my opinion this is confusing, and the patch made it much easier to just sneak at the events without actually leaving the application currently in use. Keeping the current app in focus is key when you consider that the Events view is also the view where you have quick access to settings toggles: let's say you are in the GPS application and need to enable 4G and GPS, you can do that with a quick swipe to events view and then go back immediately to the GPS application; and the same is true to many other situations like connecting to a VPN, locking the orientation, changing the brightness, etc.

Another change with this patch is you could close app covers just by swiping them from the task switcher, you didn't have to long press on them first. I used it all the time, it was very fast and convenient, and there was a visual feedback to it which made it easy to learn even for new users.

Finally, you asked in your message about "disabling" the Quick events access, but then I think it is just totally different. If this option is disabled, a swipe from any side will always bring the task switcher. With the patch, a swipe from the left would always bring events, a swipe from the right would always bring the app switcher. Probably easy to remember because one gesture = one function, system wide.

I upvote this

I would say it's implemented now in the 3.x top menu.

which is now abandoned, as far as I know.

The whole Ancelad collection, as it seems.

Thats One more reason ;-).

Yes, Ancelad dicontinued the development.

What does it do, except showing some spam?

It makes the background of plain text and HTML emails transparent including the loader page. There are also some adjustments for font size and zoom factor for better readability. The history of this: (https://together.jolla.com/question/130703/patch-email-client/)
