BUG? I think I finally snapped

Maybe my mind finally just broke but ...
Why is there an official feedback thread for inputs and gestures with NO REPLY BUTTON?
Kinda seems like an oxymoron... How do you give feedback when the thread is locked?

It's locked but I'm going to say it right away, forget apple here. Sure attempt to mimic apple default touches but a correct implementation in iTorque could only lead to less overheads and would allow users to easily modify/expand touch code.

On an iPhone you're only required to move one finger and it simply tracks the distance between the first two fingers placed on the screen, that's it. You can have other fingers on there but they're ignored. Depending on the pinch it also sees a change in their relitive centre as drag movement.
Also note once one of the two fingers has begun moving, other presses are locked out until one or more are released from the screen (I suspect this is because in reality the view becomes a static render rather than interactive for the sake of speed).

Also noting the code from the book you're reading isn't implementing an iPhone style pinch/stretch.On an iPhone you're only required to move one finger and it simply tracks the distance between the first two fingers placed on the screen, that's it.

@Alistair - Hold tight. Don't get ahead of me. You will probably end up having to just copy and paste what you are saying in this thread to the other one. Just be patient.

A Quick question, what was the reason for the other iOS features like in-app store etc being disabled?

I thought it was blatantly obvious the other thread was a work in progress. Mich, you need to post HUGE SIGNS at the beginning of it, since people don't know how you run things around here :)

Disabled? They're not disabled. They're NOT IMPLEMENTED. That's a huge difference. Read the source to know if anything is actively disabled ;)I thought it was blatantly obvious the other thread was a work in progress.

I have the thread locked until I can fill it all out. Once I get my full thoughts and results of two weeks worth a research, then I'll let everyone else in. My full brain dump, uninterrupted. It will be unlocked in a little bit.
