Strange swipe direction between media in room
I don't understand why the swipe direction is inverted. Please compare it with the element app. Normal behavior is swipe left is next picture, swipe right is previous picture. That's how the element app is working. Element X behavior is inverted. Very weird. Please explain. Why is it different? It's not natural for me.
Why isn't this issue handled? I really don't understand the scroll direction. Nobody able to explain something???
My two cents: the direction makes sense if you open an image from media gallery, rather than timeline. I very rarely use the gallery, so the current behavior is a bit confusing most of the time. For comparison, Signal inverts the direction based on where you've opened the image from. If you open it from timeline, older pictures are on left side of current photo. If you open from media gallery, older pictures are on right side, like in EX now. This is a very intuitive design IMO.
In my eyes it's very weird. The regular Element is using the intuitive direction in the chat flow. And also Telegram is doing the same thing. I am sending all my motion pictures from my cams to the room so I can quickly see all movements from all cams in a flow. I still use the regular Element because I can't get used to it. Please change it. Or make it adjustable.
