Tidying up the WPS context menu

This is a context menu, not a quickscreen...

I quite agree. I was stating an opinion on why why some people might want to keep it, not suggesting the option stayed. I voted to remove all three...

The repetitive mention of "the context menu is not a quick screen" made me want to reply sooner...
Please don't forget that there are targets without quickscreen (but with WPS context menu) due to the lack of buttons/actions or lack of screen estate - these are the Ondios and the Archos Player. For them options which someone would change more often, especially from the WPS, are really nice to have there. E.g. changing shuffle or repeat mode is a real p...roblem on the Ondio and lead to my wish for an "insert shuffle" option on directories and even to start playback which was then implemented. So I could understand someone who uses "study mode" would like t in the WPS context menu to have a quick way to turn it on and off because it changes the controls in the WPS.
Actually I'm undecided what to vote for with regards to "study mode" - in my eyes the whole feature could go but if it's there... I'm fine with removing the EQ settings as they are still easy to reach from the sound settings that have a context menu entry. Last but not least, I'd also like to see the playlist option move to the top as this is what I use this menu most for.
(leaving vote for later, wanted to remind people first)
soap:
Devil's advocate in defense of EQ being accessible with as few button presses as possible:
I can see where people would want to change EQ settings between tracks (not just between output devices) when switching from (let us say) a music track to a talk-radio podcast.
That being said - I don't ever look at or touch my player after setting up my playlist for the day - so I'm the wrong person to ask.
mbbda:
Please put playlist on top.
JdGordon:
I voted they should all be removed, but im going to change my vote (dunno if its possible on the poll though).
imo the wps context menu should include: (order can be argued later)
sound settings,
playlist, (playlist catalog is debateable)
bookmarks
track info
pitch
a link to the playback settings menu (and move pitch and study mode into that, and move stuff stuff out of that)
imo this is something for devocon or the steering board though. (I'm hoping devcon comes out with a massive menu overhaul)
