Sticky Notes - Single tap to display content

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

Sticky Notes touch experience should be improved.

Issue
Sticky Notes content can't be displayed with touch unless you make a double tap action.
The issue is that it enters edit mode and touch keyboard is invoked though I simply want to display its content.

Solution
Single tap to display Sticky Notes content.

This operation was performed with a stylus mouseover action

Thanks for investigating,

Hi, Loki@99

would "long press" work better here?

Long press to edit, double tap to open for reading?

Another suggestion?
Best regards

Hi Paul,

Single tap for reading is the best UX as double tap already triggers the edit mode in PDFXCE.

For your reference, single tap to display note content is supported by Drawboard PDF.

Re: Sticky Notes - Single tap to display content  SOLVED

Post by Paul - PDF-XChange »

Hi again Loki@99,

the changes proposed are to keep opening the popup by double tap but without auto-showing the onscreen keyboard. To get this keyboard users will need to make extra tap in text-box on the displayed popup.

There is no ticket for this change, but I am told it will be done for the next release.

I hope that helps.
Best regards
