I'm playing with Mr David's great scratch feature plugin- an entertaining offshoot from his paint plugin no doubt. It works real well and as advertised, but... On first launch of a scratch off screen, a 'scratch' or swipe from left to right returns you to the previous screen again. If you launch the scratch off screen again this behaviour does not repeat and the top image will 'scratch' away as it should. Further launches of scratch off screens will behave too. The troublesome back scratch will only happen again after a refresh/relaunch. I'm wondering if the OS is 'listening' for this right to left swipe at this time. (Might this be a new feature of iOS7? It is a bit like swiping back through mobile safari pages). Any ideas for a fix would be gratefully received. Thank you

Chris -- Look into gestureRecognizer to see if the plugin can be modified to disable recognition of that particular gesture.

Thanks Niraj. That seems to be what I am looking for. Now to see if I can make a difference...

Chris1 menu advanced plugin uses a gesture recognizer for swiping of the header images. If you own that one, then it's an easy look-see. Remember to report back on your success! :-)

Thanks Niraj for staying with me on this one. I have looked and looked in the scratch feature plugin for gesture recognizer references and similar, but have found nothing. (I have found plenty of references on the interwebs to gesture recogniser however- what an interesting subject!). I am wondering if a different process is in play. Here is the debugger output just before and after a right swipe/scratch takes you back to the previous menu... I am wondering if it isn't the scratch plugin, but a deeper level of the coding that is still listening for that swipe gesture....

Darn it. I made an assumption you knew where to look. Don't look in the plugins. Look in the BT files, use the Xcode project-level search. Maybe a comment might be in there such as "swipe".

Thanks again Niraj. That is looking a lot more promising... Chris

BT_navController and BT_viewController have references to popViewControllerAnimated. I have looked and looked at code (it is certainly a good education), but I am in way over my depth here. I think I will just have to ditch the scratch feature until Mr David gets to fixing it... Thanks for your pointers though- I know more now than I did... Chris

Make a new post "disable swipe from left to go back?"

I have made that new post, as you suggest. I was too tired and dispirited to continue last night- but today is a new day! Thank you for your support... Chris
