This one still seems to be there… See this example where many times a small drag activates the controls.

controls

Sometimes the drag moves the image, sometimes it doesn’t (not sure if the screen recorder can capture taps / drags?).

Would it be too much to simply disable the controls overlay when zoomed in? Just thinking that might be easier than wrangling the gestures.

Edit: forgot to say that disabling might also solve the issue of accidental single tap before zooming, which currently leaves the controls visible and no simple way to get rid of them without zooming out again.

Maybe it should try standing incredibly still?

Thank you for all of that—I’ve tried very hard, but can’t get it to misbehave at all now :) Which means the only thing be got left is the layout between feed and post, which honestly isn’t a huge deal but might be good to have an option like for link previews to keep the order consistent—see this:

feed

Vs:

post

But even now, the media experience is so much smoother and more enjoyable.

Wait, so it’s ok for you to avoid having to pay for art, but not companies?

How are you averaging the humans? Or are you averaging testicles?

To build if you’re doing this a lot and can’t use a brand lens with known correction data in darktable, set up graph paper and phone camera on a tripod to keep everything consistent, then photograph the empty paper. Create a transform in gimp to make the paper completely flat / square, and then just reapply that transform for every object you need to capture.

On the video side, pause on dismiss is working perfectly, but I did see 2 other problems (great!). One is the zoom on rotate issue—I still see that on first rotation, although it doesn’t get ‘worse’. It ends up showing by about half the media.

But in testing that I noticed that scrubbing the paused video in either full screen or feed view does not appear to affect the playback position where unpaused again—it restarts from where it previously was, not the new position.

Again let me know if recordings would help illustrate.

Thanks for getting to this so quickly—I’ll make separate replies as I get testing to try to keep things organised.

One the ‘zoomed image small pan’, it’s definitely better than before, but what I see now is that there’s a very small threshold below which the image doesn’t move at all, but the controls are shown. And so it can be even harder to hide them again. Let me know if you can’t reproduce that, and I’ll make a recording—but I don’t think the recorder shows the screen tap position so it might be hard to see what’s happening. The basic steps are:

  1. Zoom in to image
  2. Tap and drag a tiny amount—the image should not move
  3. Controls are shown

I also see this if the image can’t move if for example it’s very wide aspect and double-tap has left black margins top and bottom—then try dragging slightly up or down and the controls are shown.

I need to spend some time off of the internet too.

All sounds good. On the media pause on dismiss, I have auto play disabled, but media continues to play on dismiss so I’m not sure it’s following the setting there…

I think I covered this the last time you posted, but swearing isn’t a sign of maturity. It’s generally a sign of limited vocabulary.

You may need to reconsider this view. One example (there are others):

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S038800011400151X

 

I find the high contrast cards in the main feed a bit hard on my eyes. I’d like to reverse the back card background and the grey page background, and maybe also dial down the text colour a bit. It would be fab to have RGB colour pickers for those kinds of elements.

 

Sorry, can’t quite remember if you’d mentioned this already, but it resets to Hot if you force quit and restart the app.

 

Direct messages in the inbox tab always show as ‘unread’ and there doesn’t seem to be a way to clear that. They also don’t show the name of the other person you’re messaging (seems to show my id instead). It would also be great to link to their profile so you can find their posts / comments easily.

 

Not sure if I’ve got the right expectations here, but for me, changing the sort ordering on All or in a community seems to have no effect. I also just turned off ‘Hide Read Posts’ and yet refreshing the feed still hides those I’ve read.

Sometimes quitting and restarting does seem to change the sort order, but I’ve also seen it come back still showing the previous ordering.

Are there known problems with sorting / hiding, or is this news?

 

Skype pretty much always stuck like this.

 

First, please let me know if you’d rather these be elsewhere—new to Arctic but really liking it.

I’m on a quest to find the perfect Apollo replacement since leaving ‘that place’. Arctic is so nice and close I know this is nit-picking now. But the image view was practically perfect in Apollo and just a couple of tweaks if they’re possible would bring that joy back.

First off, hiding the phone status bar and action buttons on first open—just the image, scaled to fit.

For zooming, double tap to zoom in is great, but Apollo had single tap to zoom out again which combined with swipe to dismiss made getting back to the feed almost a single action—effectively a double tap with drag on the second tap. It was so slick.

The action buttons don’t currently show / hide on single tap when zoomed in so I don’t think that change would break any existing functionality.

 

Numbers go brrrrrrr

 

Opening a post and saving it using the middle ‘save’ button, then returning to the feed still shows the swipe left action as ‘Save’ (rather than ‘Unsave’).

Likewise if you save via swipe then open the post and ‘unsave’, the swipe action does not flip and still shows ‘unsave’.

 

Also just noticed that the very top post in a feed goes ‘dim’ as if it’s marked as read when scrolled off the top of the view, but then pull to refresh reloads it as unread. Opening the post to mark as read and then refreshing hides it as expected (I have hide read enabled).

 

At least, I consider this a bug… :). It seems the scroll out of view trigger fires no matter which direction you scroll, and I think it should be only when scrolling posts ‘up’ off the top of the view.

For example, scroll a post until you can just see the first line of its title then scroll it off the bottom again. It will be marked as read when in fact you’ve only seen a few pixels of it.

 

Apologies if this is old and I can’t find it. I’m making the move (somewhat reluctantly) from Memmy, as I think development has stopped there which is a shame. Arctic is the closest I could find, and has a couple of key features like mark read on scroll that I really like.

But I’d love to see the community name above the post—gives good context for how to treat what you read in the post title, etc. I find I’m having to scroll down first then back up to read the content.

I couldn’t see an option anywhere for that—is it possible?
