Card option: forced orientation

[Puuma]

In the Edit Card -> Options, where you can set expiry date and whatnot. I would find extremely QoL if there was a 3 way orientation selection. Between: "default", "forced landscape" and "forced portrait".

That way I can configure all barcodes to instantly display in correct orientation without having to deal with the android orientation functionality (that can be quite laggy and finicky sometimes).

There is currently such an option in settings for the global level. Sadly, Google has blocked orientation settings in Android 16. So this will not be possible and the existing feature will have to be removed soon: #2407

Maybe I was unclear in my explanation. I want QR codes in portrait, and barcodes in landscape.

QR codes in landscape are tiny and borderline unscannable. Barcodes in portrait are tiny and borderline unscannable.

I understand it, but Google literally removed the feature for an app to control orientation in Android 16. So there is literally no way to do this anymore: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/16/behavior-changes-16#common-breaking

For now I imagine that most people aren't on Android 16. So a per card option could be added as a ad-hoc solution that works for now for some/most people.

And I imagine that on Android 16 the system auto-rotate must work so well, that it's literally a non-issue. Cause why else would they be blocking apps from messing with the orientation. 😼

Sadly, Google implemented it as "the app targeting Android 16", so it will affect the app on all Android versions as soon as the app targets ("supports") Android 16. There is no way to not target Android 16, because apps targeting older Android versions get kicked out of the play store after some time.
