Nice work again. When I hold-click a link in an email there appears to be another menu open up a split second before the email one replaces it. Is this normal?

I have your browser patch installed - the latest one posted in the new thread - if it makes any difference

Can you please incorporate your other patch "[Patch]One Hand Click Open In New Card" in this please?

n1ce · 10/08/2010, 06:18 PM

@solarus

No, only one menu should be visible. Do you have still the first patch installed
One Hand Click Open In New Card? This patch is obsolete.

If this is installed you see first the open in new card and then the 'real' menu.

@Jason Black

What do you mean with 'incorporate your other patch...'

"This" patch?....

One Hand Click is obsolete?

I have modified the first patch to work with new browser and email patch.
This means you see all menus in browser and email, in all other apps you get the open in new card dialog.
But i don't want to make it public. If you want this behavior PM your email and i send you the first patch modified.

So the patch in this thread has the one hand click ability in it? True?

Jason Black · 10/08/2010, 06:30 PM

Nevermind...I know what you're saying now

....I came late to the party and i needed to catch up!

n1ce · 10/08/2010, 06:31 PM

Yes, the new ones (browser and email patch) uses the same function as orange+link. The modification is now in the app not in the framework anymore.
This implementation is cleaner because it uses the same program calls.

Remove the first patch or you get a double menu flicker.

Jason Black · 10/08/2010, 06:32 PM

Sounds great. I'll be installing once my pre boots up.

solarus · 10/08/2010, 06:54 PM

I didn't have the original framework version installed. I do have the new browser only one installed.

I have figured that the flicker happens when I hold on a phone number or a link that WebOS thinks could be a phone number. Normal links work perfectly. This appears to be normal behavior as Orange+Click does the same thing.

n1ce · 10/08/2010, 07:12 PM

Ok, can you post a link with an example. The new version uses the same calls as palm uses. So this seems to be a bug in webos...

veerar · 10/08/2010, 08:48 PM

Absolutely fantastic. Can you also put a scrollbar for the Email app?

Thanks,
veerar.

greenawayj · 10/22/2010, 10:38 AM

Ingenious! Just installed this today (surprisingly it was compatible with Email Megamix patch - the only other Email patch I currently have installed)...

... is the context menu itself patch-able? I would love to see 'send link to Relego' for links. Same comment (even more so) for the browser Hold-tap context menu patch.

pcworld · 02/25/2011, 07:46 AM

I just made it compatible with webOS 2.1.0 and submitted it.

fryedchikin · 02/27/2011, 03:55 PM

How long should it take before this shows up in Preware for 2.1.0 ?

pcworld · 02/28/2011, 06:36 AM

It's in Preware now.

mk3 · 09:57 AM

any way to ad another option to the context menu choices? i'd like to add "save link target" so I can download and save the link object (file, picture, etc) to the /media/internal/downloads folder.

stuarty · 08/09/2011, 10:27 AM

This is great on my Prē 2 with 2.1. Any chance of the update MK3 requested above (adding a 'save link target' option?
