Discussion about the future use of the Record button
Rincewind:
I have Llorean on my side for the stripped-down version with fixed settings, yeah! ;D
I hope to have time to code it this weekend.
cross your fingers that the new button handling code really is easier now to program with ;)
Then I update my old patch, maybe remove some less used options (the second quickmenu was only added because I liked to see if I can code it).
It would be nice to have some input from those who used my patch what settings you used. If you have other ideas, please post them.
btw: I won't do the a-b thing, there is already a button combo for it and I don't use it personally.

I finally had the time to update my patch.
It works with current cvs now and uses the new button action system. I also removed the second quickmenu and cleaned the code.
These actions are available for Rec Short, Rec Long and Play + Rec:
* None (default)
* View the current playlist
* View the Plugin Dir
* View the Themes Dir
* Recording Screen
* Go to Recording Screen and start recording instantly (not available for Rec Short)
Get it here: Record Button Configuration Patch
I also made a simplified patch that has fixed options (view current playlist and recording screen)
This one should be ready for inclusion in CVS

--- Quote from: Jillorious on August 21, 2006, 06:18:23 PM ---can anybody explain to me why people should want a dedicated backlight button? I've seen it many times throughout the forums. Why dont they just set the 'first keypress enables backlight only' to on (as i did)?
--- End quote ---
I often use my H140 in the car with the remote. The 'first keypress enables backlight only' option is annoying in that setting since I have to look at the remote to see if the backlight is on. So, when I press a key, sometimes it doesn't do anything (backlight is off) and sometimes it does (backlight is on) and I have to take my eyes off the road to determine what will happen.
So, I prefer the existing functionality for the record button. I can leave 'first keypress...' off and know that when I press a button, it will do what I want, plus I have a way to enable the backlight to see what song is playing, etc.

I think that most of the people would like the idea of having a "favorite action" button. Since the button action idea is now implemented in the CVS and things got easier for such implementation in the code (at least I hope that that's the case here) I think that this patch would worth getting into the official builds.
BTW, tell me if I'm wrong, but as I have understand it, these options work while in WPS only, right? If that's the case, then it would be also nice if we could have a hardcoded action for the Record button while in the Browser (eg. Directly enque selected file) and while in the Menu.
At least something should be done for the record button, It's just a waste as it is now.
Rincewind:
Currently, my patch has the same actions in wps AND filebrowser.
It is easy to have different actions in filebrowser, I made different action variables (3xwps, 3x browser), currently they point to the same functions for wps and filebrowser.
The only thing that would be more work is the menu code.
