Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root
Mikerman:
Ya' know, I keep on wondering that myself, given the reasons you note above. Maybe because the select button is easily reach in front rather than the play button on the side, which is slightly harder to get to? Maybe because still, despite how I know Rockbox is set up, it feels like going all the way to the "beginning" is to the WPS and not the file listing (perhaps because for me as a user, the primary purpose of the player is to hear music, and that's what the WPS reflects)?
But there definitely is something psychological going on there, at least for me (at least at times), it seems.
Febs:
The Play button is on the side only for the H100 platform and maybe the X5. The H300, all ipods and all Archos platforms have the buttons on the front, so this is a non-issue.
Mikerman:
Um, a non-issue for those other players and their users, right? ;)
I think that different architectures often suggest different solution abilities.
And I wonder if there's still a psychological thing going on, with those other players and their users as well. Again, and I don't know why, pressing left to get back to the WPS just feels right for some reason. I think there has to be a reason why almost 2/3rds of the people in the poll above feel that way. (Did iRiver do it that way? I can't even recall at this point. Maybe we've been brainwashed.)

I spend most of the time just looking at the wps. It feels like the main screen for me as well. Choosing a song, changing options, etc, to me it feels like it should all go back to the WPS afterwards.
Thank you for the updated patch!
Llorean:
Your primary reasoning for liking the patch seems to be "My preconception is that the WPS is the base screen, and so should be where I return to."
Now I ask you: If it's Rockbox's goal to be a player in which it is NOT the base screen, why is this patch a good idea? Assume for the moment that this is not a debate over what should be the base screen, but rather just what the functionality of the button should be.
