Bug: Swipe gesture to dismiss images causes problems

[CharlesJenkins]

The swipe gesture to dismiss images is much too sensitive.

If a photo displayed by Ice Cubes contains information, on my iPhone I have to enlarge it to see. But when an image is enlarged, any attempt to drag it around (in order bring into the viewport what I'm actually trying to see) causes it to be dismissed.

Could you disable the swipe-to-dismiss gesture when the image is zoomed in?

or as another solution: move the picture around with two fingers.

For me, tiny iPhone SE2020, this is a major problem - but only if I drag the top edge of the expanded photo to its limit. The left, right, and bottom edges provide a bit of "bounce" to show you've reached the limit. The top edge shows the beginning of the black bounce edge, but as soon as I back off or release the drag, the image closes.

The two-finger trick does work - equivalent bounce on all sides, no close.

Strangely, my iPad (where I rarely expand images) bounces fully on all sides with one or two fingers. Same 1.3.7... Maybe the close swipe is just too sensitive on the tiny phone screen?

For me the two-finger thing doesn't stop Ice Cubes from closing the image

The image when expanded extends below the header and footer. Trying to drag anything under the header to be visible is interpreted as a swipe-down-to-dismiss because it's being interpreted as if the top of the image is displayed. The viewing window/portal/area (i.e. where the image is understood by the app to be visible) needs to exclude the header and footer.

It might be extreme, but this is the #1 issue stopping me using Ice Cubes day-to-day.

@europlus Even if I tap the image again to hide the header and footer, the edge limits are still way too sensitive. (But I see that in lots of apps now...)
