Additional Home button functionality on Sansa Clip

(1/4) > >>

Timar:
I have to say that I am very happy with the usability on the Clip(+), which is almost perfect. However, there's one point which could be improved. Right now, the Home button switches between the main menu and the actual page you did navigate to. It would be great if it could switch between main menu/actual page/plackback screen while the Clip does playback a track. Usually you want to go back to the playback screen and have to scroll all through the menu to select the "Now Playing" entry. It would be much more convenient to just press the home button one more time.

Chronon:
Good idea.   :)

pixelma:
Actually, all other targets have a separate "resume" button (combo) for going from lists like the menu or the browser to the WPS (either start playback and go to the WPS if music is not playing or just go back to the WPS while music is playing). That's what you want if I understand correctly.

Looking at the Clip's keymap someone assigned the button combo Home+Select to it but it didn't work for me in the simulator (and the manual states something different which I highly doubt). Since I don't own the target I can't tell you if it works on the device but you could try and report back.

Chronon:
Actually, that combination does work on my Clip v1.  The information in the manual needs to be changed since it incorrectly reports that Play returns to the WPS if audio is playing.

I have some stuff running right now, but I'll get a patch together if I have time.  I did at least create a bug report for now:
FS#11233

Timar:
On the Clip+ home & select is assigned to the key lock... so this Clip+ is lacking this functionality.
