[Sansa Clip+] A better shortcut to return to WPS

<< < (3/21) > >>

In the original firmware this is handled much more eligant: Pressing 'home' twice brings you back to the playback screen (the first press takes you from the file list to the menu, the second press exits the menu).

Llorean:
One error in thinking is that "exiting the menu gets you to the playback screen." The playback screen is not the main screen. It's more like the main menu is, and the playback screen is something "on top" of it, that you can see when playback is happening.

mfe555:
Knowing the structure of the software and the menus very well you may call this an "error in thinking", but I think many users would appreciate, and find logical, if "exiting the menu gets you to the playback screen."

Could it be made configurable where exiting the menu takes you?

lolmaus:
Llorean,

imagine you're cycling and wish to switch to next track. You press Next, but nothing happens. You're on the menu! You try to press two keys simultaneously with one hand to get to WPS but you fail. You try to get to WPS by choosing the appropriate menu item, but you can't find it. You put the player next to your eyes but your hand is shaking as you move and you can barely see the items. Finally you get cursor to the WPS menu item... ah, a baby on the road! You crash.

How much simplier it'd be if you could just press Home to get to the point from where you can actually control your player.

This seems like an acceptable change, although I'm not sure if we allow double click button actions?
