V10.7b4 unexpected behaviors, a bug and a crash
Unexpected behaviors
If you scroll a panel with material effect, it is shown.
Expected: material effect not shown in panels if you are not in edit mode and click the panel as an item.
When adding a text item, nothing is shown.
Expected: show the edit label dialog
When you open the drawer in the script editor, you need to close it pressing back or clicking outside.
Expected: close it swing left in the drawer
When you use the run script shortcut a list is now shown (‘secret’ addition, wasn’t on the change log) but the scripts are sort…a bit random.
Expected: see the scripts sorted by name (the same as in the editor)
In the page indicator with seamless mode activated, when cycling it doesn’t show anything
Expected: show the page (I understand what’s happening, this need to be added to the list of unexpected behaviors of the seamless mode)
Bugs
When you click an autocompletion button using Swype, the text is shown but not added. When you add another letter with the keyboard that auto-added text is removed.
Note: previously the text was added directly and it worked fine.
Crash
(report sent)
When clicking on something of the box of a panel, crash (tested with ‘content’ and some others)
This is the list of bad things I found so far. The list of good things is so big I can’t write it all here! ;P
]]>I recently posted an app called ‘Repository importer’ which lets you download an app directly from an app.
For this app I only need to load a script into the launcher.
First I used the default ‘load a script’ method. This is the normal way of importing scripts, but the user need to go to lightning menu, scripts, load a script, and click the app.
But then, Lukas Morawietz found a clever way of load this script from a template. This way you only need to accept the prompt of the template, nothing more. The cons is that this edits the launcher’s files, and need to force close it (for the user: the launcher restarts)
So, as a user: what do you prefer?
Pierre Hébert, I already suggested this from email but perhaps you didn’t received it.
What about an Intent to tell the launcher to load a script from apk, the same as with templates?
]]>I remember in the past this bug, or similar.
In the app drawer, I have ‘ghosts’ apps.
I have the app drawer with folders, all items are inside one folder.
Once, I have a disappeared app, so I pressed the refresh button.
What happened is that some more apps appeared outside the folders, in the app drawer. When I added them to their folders, I noticed they already where there! But they were only items with the same name and the default LL icon. And also there were uninstalled apps with the same (name and default icon)
So now I have in the app drawer some icons with the name of apps, but the icon of LL. Checking with a backup all of them are desktop bookmarks (“#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme\/net.pierrox.lightning_launcher.activities.Dashboard;i.p=145;f.s=1.0;f.x=0.0;f.y=0.0;end” where 145 is sometimes 8, my main panel/desktop each)
Pressing the refresh button don’t delete them.
I can easily make a script to check for those apps and delete them (I think I can delete apps from the app drawer…never checked) but it’s strange the refresh button does nothing, that’s why I’m posting this bug report.
Trying to understand the cause, I have (in the panel 145 in the desktop 8) an item with a script that takes a random app from the app drawer, and sets it’s icon and intent to that one. Could be that, when the app drawer is still not loaded after a restart, getting an uninstalled app from script does that strange thing?
I can send backup and script if necessary.
]]>Small suggestion:
Could you make the alert/prompt/confirm default dialogs available from script with scrollable text? (In prompt, the input box is scrollable, I mean the others)
Right now they are not, and it is a bit unexpected. I hope this is not too difficult to implement.
I know we can make our own dialogs, but you need to bind classes, I personally prefer to use those for simple dialogs.
]]>Uhm…I found another bug related with the style change. So strange nobody (even me) found it before.
Now the script editor don’t have monospace font O_o
]]>Just wondering:
Now that you are adding a lot of new things from lollipop…will you add the ‘material selection effect’ to the list of selection effects, like you did with holo?
I mean, that when you click the item a ‘circle’ will start on the item growing until it reaches the sides of the box.
Maybe also add it so long click will become more…material?
Just asking, not sure how difficult it is to implement (and I guess you know someone will ask for this)
Oh, I forgot.
I really like the dark theme. That mix of red and dark grey is a good combination. Thanks!
]]>I guess this was suggested in the past, but now it’s more useful than never.
The user menu folder have icons with a special font (where capital letters are symbols) but in the custom font selection it is selected the default font.
If you choose another font, for example if you click the selected default font you can’t revert back (except if you have that font as a file, or copy the style of another item with the font)
So, what about add that ‘Symbols font’ as another entry in the list?
Step 2: for the (I hope) same price, what about add in the list the other already available fonts in the device?
According to the internet they are normal, serif and monospace, and in newer androids roboto. (And not sure if this is possible, but I saw some devices, specially Samsung ones, with more variety)
Step 3: rework that font chooser dialog with categories: default (only entry default), device (the ones I mentioned before) and user (the ones you can get from files and the ‘add font’ option.
]]>My personal opinion about the new changes, and some bugs.
On android 5
Bugs:
The custom background image for the action bar in the app drawer is draw behind the red one. The bar is always red except in search mode.
The new script of the new folder (which is a good idea 🙂 makes an error: GlobalConfig is not defined.
Personal opinion:
Even though I like the new style, I miss the black.
I know android 5 has almost all in white (whyyy), and you need root to change this and I’m not. But some apps lets you choose between a material dark and material light.
Sorry but I preferred the way it was before. How about a setting to change the theme, if possible? (I’ll be happy with dark Holo if necessary)
The script editor in white is just too light.
But as I said it is a personal opinion.
Other than that, good changes 😀
