Title: Viewer and touchscreen
Post by: AnaDia on August 04, 2018, 11:27:35 AM
Maybe I missed an IMatch or Win10 feature, but...

I would like to switch the pictures in the IMatch viewer with a one or two finger wipe, when I use a touch screen / convertable laptop and don't have a mouse and keyboard on hand.

IMatch is not designed to be used on touch-only devices. The hardware requirements specify a mouse or compatible pointer device.
If your device cannot simulate the mouse wheel or cursor keys and associate it with a touch gesture, you are out of luck, sorry.

If there would be sufficient demand I would look into this.

You can use IMatch Anywhere. The IMatch WebViewer supports touch of course on all modern devices.

Thank you for your reply, I'm fine with that! It would have been just a nice-to-have feature.
I will see, if I missed a Win10 or driver feature, that simulate the cursor keys.
I know/own IMatch Anywhere, but this time I was looking for that feature in the IMatch Viewer.

Support for touch and gestures has to be explicitly built into IMatch. And I don't even have a Windows touch device for testing...

I have added experimental support for two-finger tab to the Viewer.
If you two-finger-tab the image in the left half, it scrolls to the previous image, else to the next image.

Since I have no tablet which can run IMatch, I would welcome feedback once the next version of IMatch is out.

First of all...
Many thanks for the new IM and IMA versions
and Merry Christmas!

I did a very quick test and the new touch feature seems to work like a charm.

- One finger "touch-hold-drag" => 100% view and when releasing the finger back to fit view
- One finger "double tap" => 100% view and stay there until next "double tap"
- Well known two finger gesture to zoom in and out to some zoom levels works
- "Two finger tap" works like described by you

This new feature is very helpful on Windows tablets or convertibles like the ASUS ZenBook Flip S.
So, many thanks for it!
