--- Quote ---UP/DOWN selects items in dir
LEFT exists dir no change
RIGHT enters dir or applies setting and exits (up one level)
NAVI makes change but does not exit dir

An indicator of the current setting (like the checkmark) in addition to the
inverted line (or pointer) based on where your current selection is would be
beneficial.

The checkmark should 'jump' to the inverted line and pause for a tiny amount
of time when NAVI (or RIGHT) is pressed.

I favor this approach for two reasons:

First, it is more consistent with the way that the File Browser works.  In the File Browser, LEFT exits the current folder without selecting the current file.  For consistency, LEFT should exit a settings menu without applying the setting under the cursor.

Second, some platforms do not have a STOP button (iPod, H10) or OFF button (iPod).  Those functions are achieved by a long press of another button.  I do not like the idea of having to use a long keypress to a settings screen with my current settings intact.

I agree with your statements above.  With an iPod, and no OFF button, it would be nice to have a button mapping as listed above.

On the ipods and H10, maybe the MENU button could be used as cancel?

Anyway, it is not a big deal, as long as there is a short way (be it LEFT or RIGHT, not only SELECT!) to apply a setting imediatly and exit, I'm fine.

Just bumping this one up again.  It was a really neat patch and was wondering if anyone was interested in committing it.

Thanks again!

Recently, there was a redesign of how the menus work. This patch won't even apply since it was written for the old menu system. Basically, the author has to completely rewrite the patch to get this working again.
