Dragging tasks down triggers overscroll refresh

Post by duarte.framos »

1 - In EPIM under Android 12, in Tasks using Manual sorting it is impossible to drag a task down to reorder or place as child of another.

Dragging up works well, but trying to reorder a task by dragging down always triggers "overscroll" functionality that refreshes the view, cancelling the drag operation.

Currently if you want to place some task below another or as its child you first have to drag the target/parent up to place it before, so the other needs to be dragged up, rather than down.

2 - As a side note a related feature request:
Currently creating "child" tasks under another in Android is a little cumbersome, you have to create them at the root of the list, then drag them into place.

Since we can "open" a task for viewing bly clicking in it, would be nice if the big + button at the bottom right would still be shown here to add a task automatically as child of the currently open one.

Alternatively long pressing on a single task from the list to highlight/select it, then pressing the + could also add it as child by default or suggest doing so.

1. This is a known issue, will be fixed in the next version.
2. You can edit any task and set a parent for it or you can long press a task, then click on Menu->Add as child/sibling.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!

Good to know, appreciate the fix.
Add as child/sibling also helps, thanks for the suggestion
