We met today about this, here's the output: Long-term we need to support both orientation and primaryOrientation from the Screen Qt object, to support both shell and app rotation (shell rotation the general use case, app rotation e.g. camera only rotating buttons): http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtquick-window-screen.html#orientation-prop
Shorter term, we'll move the orientation from qtubuntu to centralize in qtmir, passing the orientation value to apps over the Mir API, meaning we need platform-api, qtubuntu and qtmir changes. Gerry is going to coordinate that work. The orientation lock value (it needs to be one of the 4 available orientations to store and recover between sessions, for example) will be stored in gsettings, written to by settings app, reset by settings app and $indicator, TBC. ** Also affects: qtubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: qtmir Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: platform-api Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: qtmir Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: qtmir Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: qtmir Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: qtmir Assignee: (unassigned) => Gerry Boland (gerboland) ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion ** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288332 Title: Orientation lock not available (rotation/portrait lock) Status in Platform API: New Status in Qt integration with the Mir display server: Triaged Status in QT Ubuntu: New Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Ubuntu Trusty r188 1.
