While Recording Screen - User Interface Discussion - including remotes
Mmmm:
Update to this shunned patch:
Due to the new encoder options
Now the filetype and bitrate are displayed in place of the Volume icon which was pointless anyway.
Patch on the tracker and included in the REP.

OK, here is my latest idea and I think this one will even pass muster with the devs. :o
Since scrolling is with us on the iRiver remotes no matter what I suggest we simply implement a scrollbar at the bottom part of the left hand side of the screen. This is 'generalizable' to all targets and all remotes.
I've included the scrollbar in instances where it wouldn't be needed (not enough items in the list to fill the main screen) for illustration purposes only. The scrollbar should appear and dissappear as necessary.
I also suggest that we 'right justify' the values and leave the labels left justified (as they are now)
If the labels are too long in certain languages they should be hidden behind the values. Ugly, but rare.
I also think that the status and scrollbars should turn on/off in the WRS as they do in the File Browser and Menu. Others may disagree. :P
Check out the bitmaps:

Another idea: If the encoding type/quality cannot be changed *while recording* then I think it should be displayed above the peakmeter with the other stuff that cannot be adjusted "on-the-fly".
Keeping the design consistent: Interactive stuff (while recording) goes below the Peakmeters, passive information above.
And yet another idea: This idea is to alleviate the 'crowded remote' problem that started this thread in the first place.
Is it possible to have a momentary "joystick up" button press on the remote show this information by overwriting the peakmeters, and once the button is released the peakmeters return? That would rule!!!

The problem with this is anything moved from the bottom to the top pushes all the other info down and so we end up with a bigger problem than we started with!

Hmmm that's not a bad idea you know...but maybe it'd be better if it overwote the top two lines instead of the peakmeter, You wouldn't want to miss that clip while you were looking at your samplerate now would you?
Oh, and looking at your screenshots above, I noticed a bug for the AGC players where samplerate was getting overwritten with filetype... Should be fixed now though.
The scrolling you suggest is a given...I think that is definitely on the cards already.

Not if you combine this design paradigm:
--- Quote ---Interactive stuff (while recording) goes below the Peakmeters, passive information above.
--- End quote ---
with this:
--- Quote ---have a momentary "joystick up" button press on the remote show this information by overwriting the peakmeters
--- End quote ---
and this:
--- Quote ---it'd be better if it overwote the top two lines instead of the peakmeter,

You end up with something useable and cool!
Here is the current refinement:
On the main unit display everything gets pushed down a line because of the encoding line being moved above the peakmeters.
But on the remote you only show the Time and Size lines above the PMs unless a 'joystick up' is pressed (while at the Volume line) and then they get replaced by filename and encoding lines.
The main unit screen is static (or consistent) and the remote unit does the display switching only because it's necessitated by RLCD size limitation.
Wadayatink? Discuss...
Hey Mmmm: What above the 'Right Justified Values' idea? Can this be done? It would clean up the look a bit, the lines wouldn't 'jump around' and (I assume) it should be be easy to implement.
