Difficult to swipe

[mstrelan]

Is it just me or is it really difficult to change slides? It seems you have to very particular in your swiping motion and timing. Immediately after completing a swipe you have to wait a second or so before going again, and you need to make sure you slide about 80% of the screen. I'm on a Nexus 5, anyone else experiencing this?

Funny, on iOS it is almost too easy to swipe more than one image at a time ;-)

@apemsel really, you could swipe multiple image with one gesture?
@mstrelan I got this behavior if I add to many images to the carousel, 10+. Can you try with only 3 to 5 images!? Is it the same here

Well actually I'm not using images, I'm using HTML content. In the end I used another solution because there were too many issues with this one (eg not able to click links in the slide content). Specifically (for anyone interested) I'm using JQuery TouchSwipe with this snippet.

    // Add touch events to the carousel.
    $('.carousel-inner').swipe({
      swipeLeft: function() {
        $(this).parent().carousel('next');
      },
      swipeRight: function() {
        $(this).parent().carousel('prev');
      },
      allowPageScroll: 'vertical',
      threshold: 25
    });

@ixisio
I cannot confirm this with vanilla bootstrap-touch-carousel right now. Unfortunately we had quite some bugs to fix to make it work for our current project. I am trying to clean this up and create pull requests for some of the fixes (the first was the event triggering stuff).

@apemsel talking about this PR: #18?

[apemsel]

yes

@apemsel so it's not good to merge, aye?
