Menu/Settings changes - REPORT BUGS HERE

[JdGordon]

OK, well I am just preparing to commit the first bit of some major changes which will take a while to complete, and because it effects the entire menu system (and all the settings) is it fairly likely that minor bugs will popup.

So, over the next while, if you notice a setting not working/saving/loading/changing correctly please post here as soon as you notice, the sooner bugs are posted after thier change te more likely it is they will be fixed quickly.

Anyone who can code and wants to help speed the transition up please visit http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SettingsRecode for info on how to help (or come on irc and chat)

NOTE: gcc 4.0.2 fails to build arm with these commits... you need 4.0.3

The menus which have been converted (and so the ones to watc for bugs) are:
- Sound menu
- playlist menu
- general settings (excluding display settings)

So far, so good.

Minor changes, but I assume the fairly noticeable ones are going to come soon.

What exactly shall be implemented with this major menu makeover?

[JdGordon]

the first step was to get the groundwork in which is what was just commited.. the next step is to convert every item in the menu to a new system which will -when its finished- shrink the binary a bit, and make the code hopefully eaiser to maintain.

the actual changes wont be seen by users at all (except titles in the menus), they should only notice changes if anything gets broken

 Archos Recorder v1

Small wierd problem:
Sometimes continues to show last line of wps when entering menus from F1 - AFTER entering then exiting the file browser using the 'on' button. The last line is shown in the new main menu and the new sound settings menu. In the old style menus the bottom line of the wps is not shown but is blank.

 The bug can be made to leave by entering the F2 or 3 quick menus and then re-entering the main menu again.

 





my wps:
%s%?it<%?in<%in. |>%it|%fn>
%s%?ia<%ia|%?d2<%d2|(root)>>
%s%?id<%id|%?d1<%d1|(root)>>
%?iy<(%iy)|Year Unknown>
%al%pc (%pt)%ar%pp/%pe

I dont have a recorder, but Mattz in irc tried to replicate and couldnt, I'll try in the sim later today.

[psycho_maniac]

does this mean we will be seeing stuff like this? or is this totally different?

[Llorean]

Can we try to keep this to "Bugs" please?.

And please read the thread, JdGordon already said

the actual changes wont be seen by users at all

Playback / Repeat doesn't work. Nothing happens when selected. Don't understand enough of the new menu code to figure out why yet.

Also, with the most recent moves (info menu, manage settings), logf builds fail in menus/main_menu.c.

[JdGordon]

fixed the repeat mode option...
which target is logf failing on? worked ok on h300

[Lear]

Really? Seemed like a logf include was missing. Anyway, I noticed it when I tried to build an iPod video simulator. Maybe the simulator bit is the important one here.

[mannequin]

today's build, theme selection is broken. if you choose any theme it just resets (screen goes black for half a second) to the old one after you try to go back from settings menu. the same "reset" happened just after browsing through varies settings.

The "Rockbox Info" and the "Runtime" screens are shifted to the right as much as the scrollbar and icons would take but of course there are none. If I switch off the icons it's not shifted that far like if it was for the scrollbar only.

And yes... this is most annoying on small screens .

[JdGordon]

I noticed that also, but wasnt sure if this was how it always was or not... ill look into it

[xwaydoublecode1234.rez]

the main bug is that this wonderful menu update slows down my ipod(scrolling and menu browsing)

[JdGordon]

disable the icons then. its not a menu bug, its a problem with the large ipod screens
