Feature description

Move the individual recording action hamburger menu to the left of the recording row so that it does not interfere with the scroll bar.

Why do you want this feature?

To rename a recording in the player interface one must first select the "hamburger" style three dot menu to the right of the file. That action essentially overlaps the scroll bar on an android phone. I find the likelihood of activating scrolling rather than selecting the menu (as desired) is about 2:1. Frustrating.

Placing it on the left would go against the common pattern on Android. The scroll indicator disappears after scrolling, so it shouldn't interfere with single taps, but some padding will be added anyway.

You can also long-press a recording item to rename it.

When recording a file, the file to be renamed will be the file at the top of the list. I attach a screenshot to show just how over loaded the area around the hamburger menu is. It is very difficult to activate it on the top recording without hitting the scroll bar. This is a really banal but unnecessarily frustrating UX mistake. #

Working on it.

Adding extra padding on the right makes the list look asymetrical. To solve this, we can either remove:

• the scroll bar
• the overflow icon button per row

I like the second option. All those options are available on long-press anyway, as is common on Android.
