Store most recently selected complications for faster selection when watchface is changed

Open dshokouhi opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Anytime a watchface is changed this triggers Wear OS to start with a blank slate of complications. This means that you need to again select the entities wherever you had previously selected. It can be a bit cumbersome to do this for all 3 complications if you change watchfaces often.

Describe the solution you'd like

For the app to store the most recently used complications maybe 3 is a good default? Could be shown at the top above Favorite entities as those complications are most likely to get selected again.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any

Add more domain types to favorite entities so other entities can be added faster

For my understanding, is this about adding a new watchface? Or does it also happen when switching between faces?

The first I can imagine, but makes me wonder how often people change watch face. The second doesn't happen for me.

Thats a good question, from the sounds of it the user may be switching watchfaces? I seem to remember some watchfaces behaving differently than others but if your complications carry over then that suggests its a watchface issue. I only created this request after a discussion with the user and a recent list sounded like it would alleviate the pain if they had to set watchfaces again.

It seems to carry over for me as well when switching watchface but not if switching watchfaces within Pujie Black. Then the old one is forgotten.

Ah interesting is this a bug in Pujie Black then? If switching between stock watchfaces carry over the complications then it does indeed feel like a watchface bug.

I don't think it's a bug. It also works switching between the Pujie Black watch face to another stock watch face and back to Pujie. But you can send different watch faces to the watch from the Pujie Black app on phone. Pujie has no way of knowing what complications was used in the previous watch face (he says).

I don't think it's a bug. It also works switching between the Pujie Black watch face to another stock watch face and back to Pujie.

if it works switching from stock watch face to stock watch face and from stock watch face to pujie black and back to sotck watch face and it only occurs in pujie to pujie then that is most definitely unique to Pujie. Might be an android bug but then I imagine an app like Facer may also experience the same issue as its one app that creates its own watch faces.
