List scan accelleration new feature--superb!

(1/6) > >>

Mikerman:
As one who has hoped for the list scan accelleration feature for a long time, congratulations on and many thanks for this!

And not only was the feature added, but in Rolls Royce fashion:  with a user-configurable start time, and user-configurable speed options.

Now I can get thru my 9000+ file list in seconds rather than minutes, making the database/track option a user reality.

From first impressions, a very nice feature--many thanks!   ;D

Buschel:
I would also love to use this feature. But on iPOD it does not seem to work...

I think the code for iPods was removed in March as it didn't work properly. I haven't seen anything since then.

Hi everyone,

I tried the new scroll acceleration feature on my Sansa but I downgraded again to a version before this patch because I had several problems:

1. Sometimes the scrolling is somehow "jumpy". It jumps a few entries back and forth while scrolling, even before the acceleration triggers. This also happened when I set the action delay to "Off".

2. The acceleration patch breaks the "Show ID3 Info" screen. In this screen, unlike other lists, the line selector spans across two lines. When you scroll down quickly from top to bottom, the line selector will somehow come off, and span across the wrong two lines. I guess this is somehow related to the "jumpy" scrolling problem.

3. I think the activation delay should be specified in rows (i.e. scrolling distance) rather than Milliseconds. It's very confusing/annoying when you only want to scroll a few lines down and suddenly the acceleration kicks in.

4. The acceleration should only trigger when I'm quickly scrolling through a list. Right now it also triggers when I turn the wheel slowly. This is kind of annoying when you are slowly scrolling through a long list, in search of a particular song, and suddenly the scrolling speed increases.

Overall I think that this is a nice feature addition, but it needs some refinement. :)

No, back then the repeat action wasnt being sent whihc meant that extra code was needed on the ipod for this to work, since then this was fixed though so it does work on it, althogh apparently no very well on the nano.

Vortex:
1) I think you'll find that the selection stays correct, it just moves in the screen a bit unexpectadly.
2) Ok, need to fix this
3) set it to a higher wait value,...
4) no way to do this with the current button code. if you are moving fast enough that the repeat actio is triggered then there is nothing we can do... to fix this set a higher start delay.
