What is the backward step you mentioned? It's probably a good thing that I couldn't find any. I notice the app now open a separate window to show the if I go to task switcher then back to mycontact, it automatically change to portrait mode. If I close mycontact and re-launch it, it doesn't change its orientation again.
I am able to consistently re-produce this, and didn't experience this issue on other apps such as FeedingIt and Stockthis.
Hey can u post some screen shots of both potrait and landscape modes?????
However, I still experience the issue of the app not automatically turning to portrait when orientation is set to auto. This only happens right after launching the app....
Thanks for pointing it out.
It is something that I have noticed myself with all the qt applications I wrote for maemo. The auto rotation only start to work after I first show the application menu once.
I have to say that it is known that the autorotation has several bugs/issues but I don't know if this one is just something that I am doing wrong.
I find the double click interval really set too short - I have to try my best to get key presses so quick. It is almost like executing final boss finishing sequence on my PSP ;-)
I changed DoubleClickSpan to 900, but didn't notice any change in behavior. What exactly this number means and how changed it will affect double click to call number?

In order to have it work the way I wanted I had to have the double click act independently from the single click otherwise one double click attempt to start a call would fail because the first click would show the "contact details" window and the second would never land on the widget. I am not fully satisfied with the solution but haven't heard too many complaints and/or have figured out a better way.
All this to say that the DoubleClickSpan is the time in milliseconds that the application will wait after the mouse is pressed to decide if it was a double click or a single click. If during this time you get another "mouse down" event it will figure out this was a double click, if not, regardless of when the mouse button was actually released will assume it was a single click.
I would guess most likely the issue is not with the speed .Does it work any better if you use the pen?
If you set it as 900 it should give you almost a second to press twice (you can tell how long the application is waiting for the second click by the orange glow on the contact).
Last: double click is not a very good idea for "thumb" interfaces but was the simplest one to start with... Another option would be to have a short and long click (the same used to show popup menus on other applications) - not sure if it is any better....
Am I the only one who like the bigger avatars? It would be great to have bigger avatar in contact info windows, too.
I do like them as well but they don't look too good when I have to overstretch them...
The standard contacts application does not attempt to standardize the avatars in size so you have different image sizes for avatars you assign on the phone, for skype avatars and others... On the Widget I decided to fill the area using whatever size of image was available. On the "avatars view" on the application I decided to use whatever size I had available just because would save resources/processing. On the contact detail window I just didn't decide to do anything...
I plan to allow for some new settings so you can control how the avatars are rendered on different places. Thank you for the input.

Do I have to restart app or only close and reopen widget in order the .conf file to be read? I do not notice any change in behavior of double click when I change the value of DoubleClickSpan. Now I am at 1500ms which is a second and a half and still I have to click as fast as I can in order to register a double click. I can clearly see my second press lands when the avatar is still glowing(blue in my case). But if I am not quick enough I get no response - neither call starts nor contacts details are opened. I've tried with the stylus - same results...
What were the arguments against long press(press and hold until call starts) for calling?

You need to select shutdown from the menu and start the application again in order for the application to read the new setting.

None that I know of... It would have been for sure much easier to implement if I had thought about that before but I will add to the list for next release to make it into a setting. Would that work?

For me long press is far better for one handed thumb operation - it is fail safe. You just press and release when you see call starts.
About changing value of DoubleClickSpan - when I restart the app the values is back to default.

Sorry I forgot to mention that you need to shutdown the application then change the value then restart it.
