apple ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE ONLY fetish?

@bdaqua yeah. i mean at some point you don’t even realize what you are doing to work around this.

on iphone iOS this is apparently true to the maximalist position that even if hitting counterclockwise THREE times to accomplish a clockwise rotation the benefit of minimalist presentation outweighs the functionality...?

ach. now i feel like a dope

but this is colossally dumb. why not just put two icons there to minimize the keystrokes? it’s like i can’t tell which one to click?

ALSO. why is counterclockwise privileged with the icon and clockwise has to act second fiddle? is this some kind of counterculture thing where counterclockwise has been historically underrepresented or something?

OK. but this is almost onion-like.

less what is less?

how about less carpal tunnel and reducing my keystrokes?

this is not an insignificant issue. if you have 100 (or even a thousand) images you are increasing the number of keystrokes you need to effectuate by 1 to 3 x 100 or x 1000.

this is 100 - 300 keystrokes on the low end and 1000 - 3000 on the high end.

whelp. no one needs it to do it autonomously.

but no one wants a flasher stalk that only flashes left unless you hold down a button on the dash to flash right so you can minimalize the dash presentation.

i mean on its face that is absurd.

@eau rouge roger that. it’s just at some point it becomes minimalizarion ad absurdam.

i used to have a mini ipod player. the thing was perfection. but if they made me hold down a button to move forward a track or move back a track or volume up or volume down - while the other direction behaved normally everyone would think the designer was on acid.

at some point you almost have to vent about it unless you’re perfectly content acting like a monkey 24/7.

yeah. i appreciate the help. i’m just a little stuffed i have been having to do this for so long.

i phone requires three clicks to get to rotate and if i need to rotate one 90 degree clockwise it is three more clicks.

its just it’s 2020 and it’s hard to understand what is going on.

well i did miss this about ctrl L or ctrl R. that would be a /huge/ help. THANK YOU!

but it does point out how silly it is to have one icon for counterclockwise.

i mean it is totally counterintuitive and really basically stupid.

i mean there is something wrong with a UI that only has a counterclockwise icon.

i appreciate the help (SERIOUSLY) but you’d have to agree it is a bit crazy i have to go to the iOS forum to see if there is in fact no solution to problem on the iPhone.

ALSO. do i have to hit counterclockwise three times to rotate clockwise once in iOS?

or is there some secret button there too...?
