Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root

Pressing LEFT exits to the WPS from context menu...

Who else thinks pressing LEFT should also exit from the root to the WPS too? It seems logical to me, and being a feature of the original iriver firmware (that evil thing) I personally found it quite ergonomic (it feels right).

At present you have to press play to return to the WPS, which seems a bit odd, especially as your cursor could be highlighting a mp3 file at the time (which wouldnt then play when you press play). I'd prefer to be able to use the play button to pause the current track (cant currently pause unless you return to WPS).

I agree with you

I'd hate this to be introduced as this is something that pissed me off about the original firmware. I often hold left when in an album to quickly get back to the root but this would no longer be possible. However, if holding left stopped at the root and then a further press of left went to the WPS it would be quite good.

Can you then suggest a way to go to the WPS without going all the way back to the root?

[Assimalyst]

Dosn't 'Play' already do that?

[bluebrother]

it would be a nice feature as pressing "play" also starts playback if you're in stop mode. I think it would be best to make this optional, i.e. the users who hate it can turn it off

Well, it was suggested that 'Play' remains as 'Play/pause' when navigation.  How about another button to bring you back to the wps, like 'stop' or 'rec'?

Wait a min... you want the LEFT to go straight to WPS even if you are in a folder?

[vinylivo]

What about a timeout when there's something playing for going back to wps like in the original fw?

pressing play is fine for me for going back to wps manually. it's ok if we are in root that pressing left goes to wps as well because it has no other function but could be problematic if people press left several times for going to root and then accidentally did it once too much and then are back in wps.

Only if you're in the root folder

Don't get me wrong. I like it best how it is now. It's just that if it were to be introduced, It could be in addition to pressing play.

I've always felt the directory browser should timeout if there's active playback; return to the WPS if no keys have been pressed for 30 or 60 seconds or some such. Sometimes I get into the directory browser without knowing it then 1, 5, 10, 20 minutes later try to adjust the volume but nothing happens.

NO.. like I say in the title.. I'm suggesting LEFT goes to WPS if pressed when you are at the ROOT.

I agree.  I always thought it was weird that you'd have to press play to get back the WPS 

[powercut]

I definately agree. I also think pressing play on file browser should play that file/directory and pressing stop should take you back to the WPS (press twice to stop track altogether)
