Fix accidentally peeking when trying to reorder Actions

complete

Augusto Pucci

When dragging an action to change the order in a list, the UI often triggers the long press action.

In Actions 3 we've added a preference for this - you can now disable peeking in the settings, under Actions -> "Long press to show context menu".

I hope this helps!

Fix or remove quick view feature

Rori

This new feature to hard press into a task and show a quick view — makes it impossible for me to click and drag items up and down my list. I like to organize task in the order I will complete them. I keep getting stuck in the pop up

Hold Action Preference Toggle

Mandy Nevins

I like to swap around my Actions in the schedule listing, which requires holding a particular Action and then moving it around. Half the time, the Action expands to its details too quickly, which prevents me from moving it. Can we have a toggle in preferences to turn off detail expansion while holding an Action? It would be nice if they were easier to move in the schedule.

Re-arranging items

Ryan Flack

Hi! Love the app, but rearranging/reordering items in a list is really difficult. A long press brings up the info for the task, and a slightly less of a long press allows you to reorder the item. I usually have to try 3-5 times before I catch it. Would love an easier way to rearrange items with it pulling up the task information. — personally I’d like to long press and reorder only. I don’t think the quick-view of the item is necessary.

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments. The new long press gesture to bring up menus & previews like this is actually a part of iOS 13, rather than our apps in particular. If you move the action as soon as you pick it up, then you'll be able to drag it around, but it is tricky to get that right.
We hope that more tuning will be possible in the future, but you can make it less sensitive in your settings under "iOS Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Haptic Touch → Slow". 
Changing this setting gives you a little longer to move the action before the preview opens, and will help in all apps that are making use of this new iOS 13 feature. 
I hope this helps! Please let me know how you get on :)

Alex Louden: This suggestion does seem to help with the specific problem I was running into. Thanks for the helpful tip :)

Hard to reorder items... edit activated too soon

Scott Shattuck

Selecting an item to reorder often triggers edit before you can begin the drag operation to reorder.

Is the new long press feature a bit redundant?

Law Chun+Yin

If I press on an action, it shows the same thing, except at the bottom of my screen. Not very sure what’s the point of it.

I find that more often than not it interferes with me moving Actions around, because if I did not move the Action quick enough after pressing, it just jumps into a preview.
