Remorsetimer on People app
asked 2013-12-25 23:43:13 +0200
I have ran more than once into a situation where I try to Edit a contact in People app, but accidentally press Delete instead. In some cases when I see the timer I panic and misspress to jump to totally different letter of the alphabets instead of hitting the timer to Cancel it. By the time I get back to the right letter, the timer has ran out already and the contact is gone.
My suggestion to solve/improve this problem is either give us longer remorsetimer in People app (extra time could be set in settings of the app - add [0-25] secs to the remorsetimer) or move and pin the timer to the top of the screen. This would help at least me to prevent these data loss cases when I press wrong twice in a row.
Almost a duplicate; https://together.jolla.com/question/3244/why-not-make-remorse-times-configurable-in-settings/ You can configure the remorse timer if you know what you're doing with CLI. See my post in the link above. Regards,

rdmo ( 2015-04-20 21:38:43 +0200 )edit@rdmo because at least I would rather see data deleted for real and not hid for undo later. I would prefer the "pin timers to the top of the screen, no matter what letter you are in or press after you select delete" but if it can't be done longer time gives you chance to cancel for fatfingers like me.
