CloudPebble Questions/Suggestions

Hi folks, I’m been developing an app and have a few questions and suggestions about it and the emulator:

  1. Is there a way for the App Logs to provide a timestamp?

  2. The “Sensors” option to connect through pbl.zip/sensors to a phone’s sensors is great, but is there a way to display that code as soon as the emulator comes online instead of clicking through menus? (I’m not a fan of multiple mouse clicks)

  3. I’m having real trouble with the emulator buttons! I click once and it scrolls through an entire menu instead of to the next item in the menu. I have gotten it working sometimes but I’m not sure how I did it because now, in my app, it is not working. Not sure if it’s my app or the emulator that’s the problem. (Oh! now it’s working again without changing any code– it must be the emulator…)

  4. Speaking of buttons, I notice that there are is a light red area and a dark red area for each button. Is one meant to represent a long-press and the other a short press or something?

  5. Any update on the libraries related to the speaker and touchscreen for the new modern watches? I understand that they aren’t available but my app that I’m developing depends on them!

  6. Another way to batch upload resources would be highly appreciated! It took a long time to upload my 68 resources in CloudPebble.

Anyway, these are things that have come up as I develop my app. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Pretty good suggestions. Do you have a gif of #3 happening?

It’s quite temperamental. Scrolling through the menu items sometimes works as expected sometimes doesn’t. In this video, I’m only clicking two times down and two times up. So four clicks total. I tried to log the clicks but it didn’t seem to work. I’ll try again and post any relevant logs.
