Assigning script shortcut as swipe action of existing nova launcher shortcut does not work

[macerg]

Desktop icon up/down swipe function. Cannot assign to an action. Was ok 0.12. broken in 0.13.0

Working fine if you install both Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime app. And swipe up/down actions are controlled by launcher, not Termux:Widget anyways.

I know that, you try and set up a new action, the setup dialogue is screwed up. I have Nova launcher and prime installed. Worked fine for years until this update.

Post video/screenshot. I already tested with latest nova on Android 11 and swipe setting from long hold icon -> edit works. Make sure you recreated all shortcuts again after updating as per changelog.

It won't let me recreate my actions as dialogue is screwed. I'll leave that here as I've regressed to 0.12. and all is working. I'm very confident that someone else will come across this issue and it will be fixed. Just a matter of time. Here's what I did. Created a new shortcut for a . shortcuts/task. Worked fine, now assign a 'swipe up' task to that shortcut. Dialogue takes you through creating a new shortcut & doesn't assign it to the 'swipe up' action of the previous shortcut. Bye, that's all from me.

You mean assign another termux script shortcut to swipe actions of existing shortcut, you should have been more clear. Anyways, that won't work currently, since v0.13.0 due to security reasons when shortcut creation is initiated, then termux-widget sends a pinned shortcut to default launcher app on Android >= 8 and does not send back static shortcut, which is what nova expects back. Considering that this could be a security risk, since launcher will then be able to execute any scripts under allowed shortcut directories, I will have to think on whether to somehow allow this, like with a prompt.

Ok, thanks. I should have been more clear. Thanks for reopening and recognising issue.

[macerg]

Don't understand why this doesn't seem to be a "security issue" in 0.12 and earlier.

Same issues here, and not only Nova Launcher. Instead of assigning to an action, it(v0.13) just creates a new shortcut icon on Home screen. v0.12 works fine.

[macerg]

No signs of being fixed yet then?

[agnostic-apollo]

It has already been fixed locally, will push changes after termux-app/termux-shared ones are.

Any news on when this fix will be released?
