karashata:
I'll definitely have to mess with this when I get a chance, though I'm not sure yet what I would do with it...

Expect something in a few days, maybe.

pixelma:
I'm not sure yet what I should think about such a feature, sounds very complicated to me at the moment and I don't like the changing of controls it comes with, no matter which button you would change.

This is the button to call the "quick screen" and not all targets have this one (the Ondio and Player, lack of buttons and in case of the latter, charcell screen) - whereas every target has a button to access the file browser from the WPS.

the basic jist of it is %?mo<one|two|three> will display one untill browse is pressed, then two, then three when browse is pressed again, then back to one.

go nuts and put up some nice WPS' so we have examples when/if its commited

Jonathan,

I'm interested in this new tag and would like to give it a try. But I'm a little confused... what are the "one", "two", "three" elements? Just texts? more tags?

Also, could you or someone else provide a compiled version with this patch?

Thanks !!

Ben

karashata:
Well, I tested the patch on one of my existing themes (just to make it switch from showing art to not showing art when art is present, nothing fancy), and it does work nicely.  I'll have to spend some time thinking up something more creative...  Just something I want to note, for the iriver H10s, there's nothing assigned to a short select, so perhaps the patch can be changed to use that key on those players?

@bzavala:  You'd probably use this tag with conditional viewports to display certain sets of viewports depending on what "mode" is set.  This could be used to display a really large album art image with minimal information in one screen "mode", and lots more information in another screen mode.  In the case of the Sansa E200s, one could use this tag to make a theme much more like the official firmware's theme.

According to the tracker, you can make 127 different modes (not that I would think anyone would need nearly that many...).

ryran:
Wow. I LOVE the idea.
Methinks we could really use more designers/artists though...seriously.
