Title: Favorites from Status Screen
Post by: mike_w on December 15, 2018, 05:04:01 pm
Is there a way to access Favorites from the Status screen?  Something like the button in the upper-right corner of the Status screen in Haiku?

Hi!  Yes, just move/arrange the favorites item in the tab bar so it displays on the main screen... to do this, tap "More" then "Edit" and you can move the items around.

Let me know if that works for you...

The Favorites button on the Status screen in Haiku is more convenient and requires fewer clicks:

(1) one click to bring up the list of Favorites
(2) one click to select and activate the Favorite

compared to using the Favorites item on the tab bar:

(1) one click to bring up the list of Favorites
(2) one click to select the Favorite
(3) one click to activate the Favorite
(4) one click to dismiss the Favorite
(5) one click to go back to the Status tab

We've used the quick-access button on the Haiku Status screen daily for years now but can get used to the additional clicks...I'm just happy that we can use an app that's actively maintained and brings back the dark color scheme.

Thanks for the quick response!

There's something not quite right with the button, though, when the iPad is in portrait orientation...I can't find anyway to get the new button to bring up the list of favorites.  The button brings up the list when the iPad is landscape.

The iPad issue has been address in v1.04 build currently waiting approval by Apple.

Thanks again for adding the Favorities button on the Status screen. 

Would it be possible to have the items listed by the Favorities button appear in the same order as the items on the Favorities tab bar?  Currently all my Favorities are Buttons, and they appear in the same order on the Favorites and Buttons tab bars as they are defined on the HAI.  That order isn't respected on the Status screen Favorities button.  In fact, I've got four iPads that run Myro and the order of the items on the Favorities button is different on each iPad.

Thanks

Will get that sorted for you (pun intended).
