Cruiser settings

[devemux86]

One of the many strong features of the Cruiser app is its many configuration options.

We need to reorganize the Cruiser settings and separate them into different screens.

So they don't look endless / complex to users and group them better for new features.
e.g. Screen margins

absolutely, perfect.

We need to reorganize the Cruiser settings and separate them into different screens.

I am used to it in the meantime. What about 2 modes? Standard and Advanced? Or beginner and expert?

I'm used to it, but it could - maybe - be better.
A button from "Routing" directly in the routing settings to select the routing service, for example....

[devemux86]

As a first step we can use separate screens for the already grouped settings.
So they do not appear complicated in endless lists, e.g. navigation settings.
(structure remains the same)

Then we could indeed put some settings into advanced groups.

[DolomitesTom]

Yes, looks good

[devemux86]

This way we can include extensive options per routing service.
e.g. handle the multiple BRouter profiles within Cruiser settings.

Good Idea !

I find the settings are so good sorted in different sections. Of course, all can be better.

Maybe could be usefull a "search" function to find the desired option. If you don't know all the options, you should have a good user manual or just navigate investigating different options.

Indeed that would be helpful.

If you want to take a look: c:geo supports searching in it's preferences, just tap on the search icon and start typing:

pref start screen	search activated	some keys later

See settings/SettingsActivity.buildSearchIndex() and the infrastructure prepared in settings/BasePreferenceFragment

Simple by default - Powerful when needed

Cruiser will have its many configuration options organized in groups and advanced settings:

Search in settings will be available in the next Cruiser:

Release it please in order to be able to test it 😁

Let's make search in settings more useful / beautiful:

• Color search will show colors in results
  (see updated images above in Cruiser settings #31 (comment))

[devemux86]

Cruiser 3.0.9 is available with:

• Settings new design: Cruiser settings #31 (comment)
• Search in settings: Cruiser settings #31 (comment)

My compliments - the settings are much clearer and the search function certainly helps.

[DolomitesTom]

really good

[devemux86]

Settings in the search results display their values (even colors), except for the on/off settings.

This will be available in the next Cruiser update (via check marks),
so you can easily see which settings are enabled:

In the next Cruiser update, all settings that require a restart of the app will be applied automatically without user intervention.

Both are implemented in Cruiser 3.0.13.

Next Cruiser will show the panel icons in the navigation display settings, so you can identify the panels:

But you won't remove these options at the bottom of the screen, I guess.

@ramondevic all settings remain, they did not fit in the screenshot. 🙂
