#4270: Usability: Potlatch2 + TrackPad Problems ---------------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: petzlux | Owner: potlatch-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: potlatch2 | Version: 2.0 Keywords: usability, feature, geometry, editing | ---------------------------------------------------+------------------------ Having run another novice mapping party, one important observation was that using Potlatch2 with a trackpad introduces problems.
For example, when creating a blank POI, the user would need to doubleclick to create the point. Now what happens with trackpads (especially Macbook ones where you have to physically depress the trackpad for a click), is that there would be a slight movement introduced between the two clicks. Problem: Potlatch2 doesnt seem to recognise a double-click to create a POI if the mouseposition changes between clicks, instead going into line creation mode. This confuses especially novice users, who don't then know how to cancel this unwanted behaviour. Solution: Introduce a tolerance for position changes between clicks where a POI is still created. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4270> OpenStreetMap <http://www.openstreetmap.org/> OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world _______________________________________________ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev
