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

<< < (19/21) > >>

I think the three of us have started to like "GO_TO_PREVIOUS_MUSIC", I have not yet heard of anyone who would miss "GO_TO_PREVIOUS", and I even think it would be an improvement for all devices.

Nevertheless I have learned the lession that changing existing functionality is "not wanted" here, and I accept that a user who got used to one behaviour of a key would be irritated by such a change, even if some of us think that it's a change for good.

So making it programmable on all devices (another lession learned: no exceptions) sounds like the best proposal to me.

Maybe we could add a section to the "Clip" family manuals describing "recommended settings for friends of the OF behaviour", including also:

Settings - General Settings - System - Start Screen - Resume Playback
Settings - General Settings - File View - Follow Playlist - Yes

Edit:

Ok, I think I got this figured out.

I understand that people don't want existing functionality to change, and that this is why so many developers were against the original proposal.

Here's the thing: My proposal isn't the same as mfe555 one. It doesn't replace the Menu functionality at all. That's where all the confusion came from, I guess.

Menu (home) takes you to the main menu, as expected.
Currently, when you double-click Home nothing happens, it leaves you where you were. The patch just makes use of this unused key combo, and takes you to the current music screen.

mfe555:
Flaps, that's an intersting way of seeing it. To fully understand it, we need to know that your patch only changes the function of the "home" key (GO_TO_PREVIOUS_MUSIC instead of  GO_TO_PREVIOUS) when you're in the root level of the menu.

So the "useless non-events" like

file list  --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   file list
sub menu   --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   sub menu
WPS        --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   WPS

are replaced by

file list  --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   WPS
sub menu   --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   WPS
WPS        --(home)-->   root menu  --(home)-->   WPS

assuming that the WPS was the last music screen.

I like that.

Hm, not really useless, just redundant, they're just there because most players already have buttons for everything. That's why the patch is clip specific. :)

AlexP:
What would be much more useful IMO was if someone could come up with a sensible system for having all buttons configurable, then we could stop having these arguments and people could just do what they wanted.
