Long press action with two fingers

[boowoo]

Hello,

I use often the long press action for display quickly the map x2 for outdoor activities.
I would appreciate if it should be possible to get also all long press actions with two fingers. In my case it should permit to display the map /2 with two fingers and x2 with one finger.
Of course it should extend the other long press actions possibilities.

Hi Sam and sorry for the delay,
I've made some tests to check if the multi-fingers long press was technically possible. It is, but I'm afraid that the long press action will be triggered while using the multi-touch actions too slowly.
So right now I've made an user setting to enable this, and I'll test this more longer.
Here is the user setting for the next beta:

Code: Select all

map.canvas.long_press.allow_multi=1

Hi, François,

Thanks for interest for this feature.
I'm also curious to see the expected behaviour with the usersetting !
Maybe, alternatively, it should be possible to separate the screen in two simple parts ? Above the center point for zoom X and below the center point for zoom /
Anywhere on the screen for the others long press features.
By this way not necessary to implement double touch on screen.

I've already added the multi fingers long press and user setting, so I'll first test this.

Yes of course.
It was just a thought in case if multitouch don't work fine. (I'm too fast ...)

Hello,
I've updated to beta version 2.3.4.R8048.
Great
The feature works fine as expected for me without any problems with other multitouch features.
Small tips, after zoom reduced with two fingers, just take off one finger for moving the map.
Many thanks,
Sam

How does this work? I don't quite understand it. I have updated the application to version 2.3.4 beta and I added this setting

Code: Select all

map.canvas.long_press.allow_multi=1

What should happen when I make a Long press action with two fingers?

Currently, it depends on what you have selected in the "Long press map action". If you have checked "Zoom in" (with one finger), then the long press with 2 fingers will zoom out, and same for "Zoom out".
Also, if you have checked "Display map only" for one fingers, it will also apply to 2 fingers.
