There are 3 states now:
The 3 states you described are fine.
The Problem for me is that stage 1. is not working on my phone. Stage 1 shows the crosshair and measures if i click somewhere.
Same problem here. When the ruler widget is active, measuring distance is always possible no matter the widget status (1, 2 or 3). And it is possible to measure from current position to the touched position as well as between two simultaneously touched positions (if you press long enough).
This is the expected behavior of the ruler widget. The "ruler off" mode hides the circles but does not disable the touch ruler. @michaelkrnac Could you please explain the purpose of completely disabling the ruler without disabling it in the Configure screen menu? Perhaps you want a way to quickly disable/enable the widget? In that case, it will be possible soon, after we develop the Quick Action feature.
You can disable the widget itself and it hides functionality.
Well, I'm aware the widget can be disable. But to me widget activation/deactivation is more like plugin activation/deactivation : something you do once if you need the function. Problem is I can't have the ruler widget always on because the ruler measurement is painful for manipulating the map. But switching the widget on/off is long. Maybe the Quick Action feature will solve the problem, although I'm not entirely seduce by it.
Strangely enough this version is consistent with Android version and we didn't have any suggestions for more than a year. It might be that 2 touch functionality just disrupts more usability on IPhone version rather than Android and we need to address that feature first.
Or maybe like @PaulStets said it's because Android users have the Quick Action feature...
I totaly agree with the comments written by @natolh above.
I use widget activation/deactivation more like a plugin activation/deactivation.
For Example:
I assume the same behavoir for the ruler:
I never heard of Quick Actions before so i watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV3XLTrwpU
Like @PaulStets and @natolh stated above i also assume that Andorid users use the Quick Action as workaround.
@natolh @michaelkrnac Thank you for the clarification. @vshcherb Seems like a reasonable request. I think we should implement it.
While we are talking about the ruler, I would like to talk about two other points.
@vshcherb
The Ruler is a nice feature which i like to always have has button on the map.
When i add the ruler to the view i can switch threw the diffrent ruler modes. One mode should be "Ruler off"
Pressing the Ruler button should switch through the follwong states:
