Swap rows and columns in journal, show track name

[mjk-gh]

Thank your for this most useful app!

Unfortunately, it is so useful, that I already hit the wall with it: I have a lot of aspects of my life I would like to quantify, currently 15, with desire for more. This leads to two problems:

• The individual columns become extremely narrow, partly overlapping/cutting off each other, especially in portrait mode, which I very much prefer.

• Identifying the tracks by an icon is already difficult for some people (personally, I find it cumbersome, my brain's text matching engine seems to work a lot better), but with much more than 10 items, it gets cumbersome for most people, I guess.

Therefore, I would love to see the following options implemented:

• An option "Swap rows and columns" (or similar), where each row shows one track, and each column shows a day.

• Especially for the row/column-swap-mode, but maybe also available in normal mode: Three options (only one can be selected at a time):

  "Show track as ..."

  • "icon"

  • "text"

  • "text + icon" (intuitively, I think this order might suit most, but otherwise, add a fourth option "icon + text" :-}

  As opposed to the icons, track names can have varying lengths, so there should be a possibility to adjust the width of the track name display, either graphically or simply by some configurable value (in font points, pixels, mm, or whatever).

I know I'm asking quite a bit, but just imagine it was a long, dark winter evening, and you were bored to death ... :-}

I support the idea, but my time is limited :-)

By the way you could deal with many tracks by putting them in groups. Each group will have its own matrix.

At least no objection -- can't get much better. ;-)

Ah, totally forgot about the groups! Good idea, that mitigates the issue a little(! :-) for the time being.

Interchaning two adjacent rows would be a very practical feature.

[lordi]

Do you really mean rows (moving ticks from one day to another) or do you mean cols (tracks)?

[PanderMusubi]

Sorry, columns.

[lordi]

Yea, that is already possible. Go to "My tracks" and then long-press on an item. You can then choose to move it up or down.

[PanderMusubi]

Yes, indeed. Thanks!
