Bug: Sansa e200V2 simulator ALT+F4 fails

<< < (3/10) > >>

Llorean:
Well the way that was good enough for me is that a developer posted in the thread that he doesn't think this is a bug.

And that it's a cross platform app generally intended to perform the same on other OSes that don't follow the "Alt+F4 = close window" paradigm.

And that, generally, it's not intended to respond to any keypresses beyond those that represent inputs on the player, because it's a simulator.

Another option would be to check the source code to find out what it's intended to do, though I didn't personally go that far.

Well, we've agreed it must be a bug, in action or UI.

I guess another OS would have its key for close.

Windows apps generally respond to standard Windows app keys because they are Windows apps ! :)

I don't see what's funny. It's an honest answer - this is open source.

And many, many windows apps don't close on Alt+F4 (see for example, >90% of videogames ever made as a starting point). It's something that many applications do *when it makes sense* but plenty others ignore it because it's not part of the functionality.

Which is why it seems to me it would be good for this one to do it.

Llorean:
But "I think it should do it" doesn't make the lack of it a bug.

Feel free to submit a patch for it though.

But the simulator is meant to simulate the normal operation of a Rockbox device - you should power it off by pressing whatever button or combo would power off the device. It is *not* a full application meant to work like a normal native windows application.
