[Sansa Clip+] A better shortcut to return to WPS
JdGordon:
mfe555: incase you hadnt guessed already, you're fighting an unwinnable battle. UI changes basically never happen because the people that want the change get shouted down by the people who like to do nothing more than reject any possible changes. (CHANGE IS BAAAAD! MKAY!)
While i am tending to agree with you (and I have this vague recollection of the button origionally working like that), a poll wont really help at all. Change happens when someone comes up with a patch, and then someone with the required balls gets it through the field of naysayers (which is usually one very loud and annoying person).
So come up with the patch and then we'll talk.

This should settle it and please everyone (or at least I hope so) :)

mfe555:
I'm so happy to see that I've been fighting only a single windmill.
Thanks a lot for your encouraging support, saratoga and JdGordon.
Very special thanks to you, flaps, for starting the magic. So "GO_TO_PREVIOUS_MUSIC" was a function that already existed, ready to be used in this context? I hadn't dared to imagine that the solution would so easy (which certainly doesn't mean I undervalue your great work).
If the motto "special (low key count) devices benefit from special solutions" is accepted, I hope your patch will make it into the next release.
JdGordon:
I don't mind the patch flaps posted, though I would like to see it more generalised to a hotkey type thing so users can choose what they want that button to do. We already have a hotkey setting for the filebrowsers and the WPS so the precedent is there to add it to the main menu too. Of course with the default set to "last screen"/GO_TO_PREVIOUS users who are currently happy wont lose anything.
flaps, if that sounds like something you want to do and need help buzz me on IRC

I sometimes end up on the pitch alteration screen when trying to pause or resume the music in my pocket. This happens when you keep the pause button pressed slightly too long. The first you know about it is the next attempted resume/pause, nothing happens. A quick way of returning to the WPS would solve my problem in this case.
