suggestion/idea: make identify multiple features with long press optional

Open gioman opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

I'm getting some feedback from users involved in a citizen science project about the identify operation, and the fact that to identify all overlapping (or very close) features is needed to do a long press rather than a single touch of the screen. It seems that for most of people is more natural that with a simple touch all overlapping/close features should be identified, while the current behavior could be left as optional fir who prefers it. PS Don't shoot the messenger :)

Hi @gioman thanks for the feedback! Is it common to have overlapping features in your projects?

We were double-minded when designing this. For some users this might come handy, but for others it adds an additional click each time they want to open a feature.

I can imagine having this in settings as an opt-in feature though :)

Hi @tomasMizera thanks for the feedback. I would say that is very common that at certain scales you have close features. I also tend to agree that the short press to identify all (close) features seems more natural. But I understand is a matter of opinions. An option here would be very nice.
