2 new Playback Mode indicators
« on: August 24, 2008, 10:01:17 AM »
right now, the playback modes for fast forward and rewind do not do a destinction between play and pause. i want to have two (or 4 if we have to deal with ff and rw individually) new indicators, one for "ff/rw + play" and one for "ff/rw + pause".

why not? i think it's useful, if you have a big file and seek for a long period of time, then it's rather convenient to know, whether the file will play, when you release the seeking button or not.

I promise I'm not trying to be rude here--I just don't see how it's useful.
If you're rewinding, you're rewinding. If you were playing before you started rewinding, you will continue playing when you release the rewind button. If your player was paused before you started pressing rewind, it will stay paused. I guess I don't understand the logic in having two more states--there aren't two more states; you just return to the state you called ff or rw from when you leave the ff or rw state. How could you not know whether it was paused or playing before you started holding down a button some seconds ago?

And even if you don't know, you'll find out immediately after releasing the button anyway
