Please don't say you'll change it! Pretty please?

See today's IRC logs.  The proper solution seems to have a queued delete that operates whenever the track is unbuffered.  This way the behavior you suggested will work on all targets and not just those with a lot of buffer space. 

Yotto:
That is fantastic! I feel that one day I will not be surprised by how Rockbox just gets better and better, but it never happens.

Grafthos:
Your hotkey implementation works flawlessly.  Congratulations on the hard work.  I would still love a "1 touch delete and advance to next track" function but beggars can't be choosers.  I can hope :)

I have included a large sum via paypal because I think you guys deserve it and I wish to support your efforts.

Thank you for a job well done.  I hope you continue to develop the platform far into the future.

Blue Dude:
One thing on my todo list is to replace the delete function on the WPS screen with a Mark For Deletion function, which is really how it is intended to work.  The idea here is to allow continued playback, whether it's buffered all the way to end or not, then delete the file automatically when the track is no longer playing.  That would mean your "one touch" solution would really be "two touch" but it would work every time.  One touch on the hotkey, if set to Mark For Deletion, one touch to track skip.  Done.

Perhaps there would be a way to automatically skip to the next track upon marking for deletion, but I wouldn't hope for it.  It's certainly technically possible but changing existing behavior is a big deal, and creating a setting specifically addressing this additional functionality might be deemed too bloaty to be included.  I'll keep it in mind though, when the time comes.

Thanks for the donation by the way.  The developers themselves aren't paid, but it helps for keeping the web site, and development-related facilities on the site, up and running.
