Description Cornelius Hald (reporter) 2009-06-05 11:17:15 UTC

In the HIG[1] the distinction between a 'Two-touch' and a 'Long tap' is not
clear. 
Both _can_ be used to bring up a context menu, but it not defined which one
_should_ be used to bring up a context menu or what other uses are recommended.

I'm not sure why double-tap is even mentioned, so I dropped it and partially
rewrote the long-touch section to emphasize that it's the recommended way to
bring out a context-sensitive menu.

    Fix double-tap/long-touch ambiguity in the HIG

    Do not mention double-tap, since it is not really recommended/used in
    Fremantle. Long-touch is the prefered way to bring out a context-sensitive
    menu.

The two-touch is back. This time in the wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Human_Interface_Guidelines/User_Input#Two-Touch

I have no idea whether or not this page was created from "official" side. So
I´m reopening.

Hildon UI Guides (those PDF documents here
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide) will deprecate
HIG. Have you checked is these different tabs have been documented in those
guides? If not this needs to be moved to the Graphical UI Tutorial as HIG dill
be dropped. It overlaps too much with these Hildon UI Guides:

# Master Layout Guide
# Hildon 2.2 UI Style Guide
# Hildon 2.2 Widget UI Specification
# Maemo 5 Desktop Widget UI Guidelines

Comment 4 Cornelius Hald (reporter) 2009-12-28 18:19:26 UTC

If the document I mentioned is now depricated, feel free to close this bug. I
can't look through all documents mentioned by you ATM, because the N900 pdf
viewer has no search function :/

Then you have to wait until we have Fremantle Developer Guide HTML (and PDF and
MediaWiki :) version ready and published...

(In reply to comment #3)
> # Master Layout Guide
> # Hildon 2.2 UI Style Guide
> # Hildon 2.2 Widget UI Specification
> # Maemo 5 Desktop Widget UI Guidelines 

I´ve searched those documents for "two touch" and "two-touch". Couldn´t find
anything, so I´m closing this bug.
