Improvements to Xyplorer touch screen mode

Post by Meldiesal »

Presently I am using Xyplorer exclusively when I am using my tablet in desktop mode, but I find it difficult to use in with a touchscreen even with the touch mode that has been added to the program. The key interface improvement that is currently absent is to allow a touch and drag action act differently depending on which direction the ‘cursor’ is dragged on the screen.

For example, in file explorer touching and dragging up and down (on a touchscreen) scrolls in a similar fashion to using a mouse wheel, whereas dragging left or right initiates the file selection tool. Would it be possible to add similar functionality to Xyplorer (perhaps toggled on and off with a button)?
