about that new camera shortcut on Jämsänjoki
asked 2017-07-24 18:22:32 +0300
I just downloaded and installed Jämsänjoki and I discovered that now by default I can't access my apps as fast as I could before and I had to disable this new camera shortcut... I use the camera like 3/4 times A YEAR. So even if it get's uninstalled I'm not sure if I would notice.
But even if I really don't like this camera shortcut I do like to have an app that fast to open. So I'm opening this thread to ask jolla to make this configurable. I would like be able to configure this to open piepmatz.
PS: Am I the only one who feel like sailfish is having its UX quality continuously decreasing since the version 2.0 ? (I need a patch to lock without 2 gesture, make the pulley menus not REALLY slow and cover action are now inconvenient to use to name a few regressions)
Isn't it configurable in Settings/Gestures? I sawed it in one screenshot from the past...

Ie. take the phone out of your pocket > do a gesture (ie circle) > get to the camera.
This doesn't cut it. :/
ApB ( 2017-07-24 20:34:42 +0300 )editI don't think a gesture like this is really faster than organizing your apps in the grid. In addition if this is just to open an app faster the pulley menu from the lock screen is already there for this, lastly this will mess the clarity and consistency of the other gesture like unlocking (unless they go back on using the edges instead of the whole screen but that's another story...). So yeah like I said in my post I think this is a great idea if this is extended to any apps and not only the camera (in fact every time you make an app specific system wide shortcut it will just fit to a few usage and will be inefficient to most other usages)
