Putting the sound settings menu back during playback

<< < (2/4) > >>

Llorean:
And by the way, "Select" leaves the WPS without stopping playback (for further queuing, browsing, etc) and takes you to either the current file (if follow playlist is enabled) or where you invoked the WPS from.

"Power" stops playback. Which of course banishes the WPS as well, due to the whole "P" part of the abbreviation.

But I'm nut sure what basis you choose to say they're identical under, as they only really are if you're deaf and I have a suspicion that would be a significant minority of our users.

Meanwhile, the context menu was not removed.

I suggest again, much more strongly now, that you read the manual.

Jesus, why do i have to get the smug patronising admin member answering my thread.

I am trying to explain that the context menu now goes to the ROOT instead of SETTINGS which has been changed between Now and October 2007.

I've read the manual and regardless of what the manual has to say the function of pressing the bottom button on the Sansa now takes you to this menu

Files
Database
Resume Playback
Settings
Recording
FM Radio
Playlists
Plugins
System

It USED to take you to this part of the menu

Sound Settings
General Settings
Theme Settings
Recording Settings
Manage Settings.

That is what I would like it to do again before it was changed.

I guess you'll take a huff now and ban me for my exasperation in the fact you purposefully don't read properly because I've only got a few posts and you assume I've no idea what I am talking about. Just because I am new to the forum doesn't mean I am new to rockbox. I only signed up to find out if I could get back the functionality of a previous build because it was better than the current build.

Yeah ok, stop patronising me. I was checking the buttons without listening to the player at the time. Visually it appears to do a similar thing in that it returns me to the track list and then you can press the back button to go back through the artist/album information and then into the menus.

...and of course the rest of the manual is full of good stuff, as well  ;)

I didn't say the button didn't go to the context menu. That's your buddy up there saying that.

I said that the button goes to a different part of the context menu. Now it returns to the ROOT of the menu when before it went into the SETTINGS part of the menu. Which was more convenient to access the sound settings while in playback to adjsut the bass and treble. Now there is an extra menu step involved.  That's in the manual cos i checked.

LinusN:
That must have been a bug then, because it should really go to the root of the WPS context menu.
