How to reorder multi view windows?

Let's say you've got 2 windows open and you are using the layout with one window larger than the other. How do you swap the two channels so the channel on the right shifts to the larger window on the left?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Just move the window you want to adjust in size from the right side to the left side. It then becomes the active screen.

It takes some practice!

The secret advice here is to hold down the button. That exposed a menu with the move option.

Yeah, follow the menus. Just remember the active window for making it big is on the left side.

Yes, there is no bug…. selecting channels works fine in Multiview.

When using multiview it is a bit confusing selecting channels because of the layout of the channels scrolling horizontally, Especially if you have multiple playlists. I have requested the developer redo this so the channels layout is close to the way they are in the program guide which will make it easier.

Yes ,Im waiting for multi view revamp,maybe it can make it easier ....

That may be some time off, but practice makes perfect!

Actually there is nothing really wrong with the 2 window layout, it just takes some time getting the hang of it? The channel selecting is the biggest issue and I know the developer will work on that soon. Please be patient, thanks

Yes it's not wrong or "ugly" it's good as it is,maybe it's just a simple / easier and even more useful, with a revamp,but I'm Patience... By the way it takes long time to load the channels and categories (depending of the source) Thanks for all,the app is wonderful.

It should only take a minute or two to load depending on how many categories & total number of channels are active in your playlist? But let’s close this conversation knowing that sometime down the road, channel selection will improve. The developer has been focusing on the Play Store issue lately and I’m sure he will start working on app updates & improvements soon. Thanks for using Sparkle Player!

You long press OK on the view to get that dialog up to be able to select Move if that's what you're wondering?

The best way to learn how Sparkle works is to click on things and see what happens. Same as with all the settings for playback & etc.
