Hi Olga,

Sorry for the bad explanation of the issue. Yes, it's an app-related issue: we already have the code for swiping the list item, but we disabled it.
The task in this bug report was basically a to-do entry for me, rather than an explicit request to the ux team. My fault!

The problem is that we need to provide those actions (e.g. delete a document, move to sd card, etc.), which are activated by a swipe, also in the grid view, but the swipe gesture does not seem to be suitable for being used in a grid.
A solution we were considering was to use a context menu, triggerable by a button placed in the grid delegate, as done for example in the Android Google Play app[1].

I'm not sure though whether it fits with the Ubuntu UX guidelines.

The page which requires this improvement is the first/welcome/main page
of the app, where the user can scroll a list of documents in the device,
and pick one to be opened and read by the PDF viewer.

Title:
  [SDK] Re-enable swipe gestures of list items

Status in Document Viewer application for Ubuntu devices:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Incomplete
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  STEP TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE:
  1. Open Document Viewer. The list of documents in $HOME/Documents will be shown.
  2. Delete an entry in the list (N.B. not the grid), by swiping to right the corrisponding list item.

  WHAT HAPPENS:
  The list item can not be swipped

  WHAT SHOULD HAPPENS:
  The list item can be swipped to right, and a red-coloured action is shown.
  Currently, to delete an item we need to switch to the multi-selection mode.

  BLOCKERS:
  We need to find an equivalent UI pattern for this user case, when the grid view is used instead of the list view.
