There must be some serious misunderstanding between my posts about it and people complaining about said behaviour. There is no way whatsoever in which this behaviour is inferior to previous Sailfish versions. To clarify:
In Sailfish 1.0, you start 10 apps, by the time you start the 11th app, memory is full, the oldest started app gets kicked out and the cover disappears, making you wonder what on earth happened to that app. You need to start the app again from the list of apps, and all covers get rearranged. There is also no way to keep application covers in place, so you can't just remember in which spot the media player last was to change the currently playing track.
In Sailfish 2.0, you start 10 apps, by the time you start the 11th app, memory is full, the oldest started app gets killed BUT the cover remains visible (although slightly transparent and without any cover action) so covers stay in place, you can arrange them how you want once and they will stay in that position forever (as long as you don't reboot...). You can start the app again either by tapping the cover or by going to the list of apps (either way is about as fast as the other, the first way has you do a swipe from the left/right edge of the screen to your home screen, the second way has you swipe from the bottom of the screen to bring up the list of installed apps). (You don't even need to know the place of the media player anymore because the controls are accessible from the lock screen, at last.) |
