[BUG] It is not intuitive that repos can be edited

Open opk12 opened this issue 3 months ago β€’ 6 comments

Describe the bug I learned in #987 that you can long-tap to edit a repo. This is not apparent from the GUI.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the Repositories list
  2. No visual clue that you can in fact edit a repo

Expected behavior A cogwheel, a toast message like Long-tap to edit, whatever

Greetings,

I am using the latest version. Long persions shows me this screen Screenshot_2025-09-08-21-25-15-068_com.looker.droidify.jpg

Which means editing repos work fine for me. Let us know if you still face it. By long pressing it, you first view its details and a toggle to enable the repo, at the bottom you might find option to edit as well as Delete the repo.

@DevKingofEarth πŸ‘€ Do you work in customer service by any chance?

To clarify my previous remark:

opk12: β€œIt is not apparent from the GUI that you can long-tap to edit a repo, a visual clue would be nice.β€œ DevKingofEarth: β€œLet me show you that long tapping to edit a repo works just fine!”

This is the kind of reply customer service representatives often give, totally ignoring what you actually wrote. It's disrespectful. Don't do it.

The big quote and big screenshot are detrimental and make it hard to follow the discussion.

A short question "Long-tap works on my Pixel X version Y, what happens exactly if you do it? (end of post)" would have been polite and not condescending. But I think he's in good faith, his recent tickets have high signal to noise ratio.

Apologies, I thought may be the UI wasn't rendering right for you, so I had to share screenshots. I was focused on clarity, but not the way to share my view, may be I wasn't better at communicating in Github communities.

Well I have no particular intentions, I was just randomly surfing and as I caught my eyes with issues that I thought I could help/learn, and so I replied, although I did try to use a normal tone. I will be careful how I would be concise with my responses hereafter.

@DevKingofEarth Ah, don't worry about it, you meant well and I was just being a jerk with my unnecessary comment. Probably had too much coffee that day. I should be the one to apologize! πŸ™
