[Feature request] Allow the deletion of shopping individual shopping items

tuto193 opened this issue · comments

What?

Allow the deletion of individual shopping items from a list/category.

Why?

Currently the only way to delete shopping items from a list is to either:

  • Delete the whole list, or
  • Think of another item to take the item-to-delete's place, or
  • This:
    1. Uncheck all items.
    2. Check the individual item(s) that are to be deleted.
    3. (From the dots menu) select the option `Remove checked items'... done.

This process is quite cumbersome, and deleting individual items (custom or not) from a current list (or category) should be more seamless, since mistakes could happen e.g. one might add a(n) (custom?) item by mistake, and one just might want a quick way to undo the mistake.

Suggestion

Maybe add another option to the item edit menu, that allows for the deletion of said item (?).

Hey @tuto193, you can delete individual items by swiping them left or right. There is quite a few of these interactions in PocketPlan (like pressing and holding, swiping, and tapping) which are not immediately obvious due to no UI element indicating their existence, which is obviously a tradeoff between usability and keeping the UI as minimalistic as possible. This is why we added a "HowTo" section accessible from the side menu, listing every functionality in detail.

Oh, my bad. I just noticed this. Swiping to the side was actually my first thought, but I seem to habe been swiping the category and not the actual item. Thanks a lot for the quick response!

No worries, it's definetly a bit finicky since the items are so thin, we might try out slightly increasing their height, or maybe making this adjustable via an option.
