Discussion: Pros & Cons of a potential WPS Tag Feature Request

<< < (6/6)

Llorean:
Where did I say you were removing anything?

As I said at one point "It's also about not overloading Rockbox with every idea every single person has - things need to be left out sometimes" which makes it rather explicitly clear I was discussing the addition of a feature - it wouldn't contribute toward overloading Rockbox with things if it were being swapped out.

This is what I'm talking about. In this case you've apparently leaped to the conclusion that I think you want to take away a feature I use and taken that as an excuse to accuse me of taking things personally.

The fact that you think this is personal more or less make me think you might be taking it so. As I've said, I'm only interested in discussing the more objective aspects of it - what problems it can solve.

So far you haven't listed anything the users can gain from it besides aesthetics (something I never denied they'd gain from it) and rather than actually discuss it, or simply outright say "I think that's all they gain from it" you've started quoting unrelated things I've said like my use of the word "arguments" or that quote in your most recent post prior to this one, then misunderstood them so you can make a statement about *me* rather than your idea.

(Begin Taking Stuff Personally)
Can I declare it's "personal" now since you keep telling me what I'm saying and doing despite the fact that I've never said you want to remove anything, and I used the word "argument" in exactly its described usage? Or are misstatements about what I've said because you feel like jumping to conclusions something else I shouldn't take personally?
(End taking stuff personally)

[Saint]:
You stated, "when it starts affecting Me"...as your right to dissagree. If you use the display of dB, then this would not concern you at all.

If you're just fishing for Me to call you a Prick outright....it's getting pretty close.

Llorean:
No, it WOULD concern me. What point of "it's still adding things to the Rockbox codebase" can't get into your head? I explicitly said it when I talked about overloading it with features.

Saying "if you don't use it, it won't affect you" is wrong. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding. These players have limited resources and the smaller, simpler code is the better for a variety of reasons up to and including whether or not it will simply run on players with very limited resources. There's also already a startling number of options. The less we add, the easier it is for people to learn what's available to them.

If you don't understand why I said it will affect me, you should've asked rather than assuming I read what you said wrong. It will concern me. It will directly affect me.



Also: please, please, PLEASE if you find it's taking you 10+ minutes to edit a post, reload the page FIRST to make sure I haven't responded yet. It's getting really tiresome seeing you add stuff after I've posted.

How is db unusable or difficult to use? You said it's a loss of basic usability. If Rockbox showed a percent volume scale from 0 to 100% it would be made up of imaginary numbers. They wouldn't even necessarily (or likely) be the same percentages as the original firmware uses. If a user needs to get used to different meaning numbers anyway, why not give them ones that are useful going forward? This would never be "presenting the user with the range they're used to." 100% will often be louder, and 0% will often be much, much, much, much lower. And a large range of consumer electronics doesn't use a percentage scale anyway. Many use numbers from 0-30. Or an image that fills up with rather random step sizes to match that image. So justifying it by what other things do depends entirely on your subset of other things, and how limited you're restricting yourself.
