iRiver button usage for 3.0.
(this is a user comment for a 3.0 iRiver release, I haven't studied the button code so I have no specific recomendations to make). On my H140, I find the button use for traversing the options menu irritating. For one, I think the play button (a seperate button on the H1x0's from the joystick 'select' click) should always instantly return to the WPS, unless you're actually inside something that uses it (eg. confirmation to save a .cfg file, or any plugin). As it is right now you have to use the 'stop' or the 'option' buttons to move step-by-step all the way back out of the menu hierarchy - that's not only unecessary, but I often use stop, and then end up pressing it several times in anticipation, so when I get to the WPS a buffered stop usually stops playback inadvertently (well I'm more careful now, but it's bad design imo). I'd also like to see 'hold play' go to the radio, and 'hold record' to enter the recording screen (I think requiring rec to be held for 1sec is safer, and also still allows people to use it to enable the backlight). -- gl

Bug in screen_access.c affecting all drivers.
(does it seem bizarre to anyone that I can report bugs but not get credit for them?) screen_access.c, lines 156-157: screen-puts_scroll_style=lcd_puts_scroll_offset; screen-puts_scroll_offset=lcd_puts_scroll_style; Note assignments are the wrong 'way round (that's why my scrolled lines were never inverted!) -- gl

Re: Bug in screen_access.c affecting all drivers.
No. In any case, I have credited you for this fix. Bug found by an anonymous person.. Thanks for the insult. -- gl

No. In any case, I have credited you for this fix. Bug found by an anonymous person.. Thanks for the insult. I think this was rather meant as a friendly wink from Linus.

Re: Bug in screen_access.c affecting all drivers.
No. In any case, I have credited you for this fix. Bug found by an anonymous person.. Thanks for the insult. As you requested. No seriously. What the hell is your complaint. You *clearly* stated that you've been long enough in the business that you don't need the credits to prove yourself (and blow up your ego), yet the moment you don't get 'named' credit you complain. In Belgium there's only one word for this, and it roughly translates as 'pathetic' And I would advise against using the alias 'gl.tter' as it strongly resembles the name of a fellow countryman of you who's in jail for not so nice things. Unless they have internet access there ;) (note the smiley) Peter
Re: Bug in screen_access.c affecting all drivers.
What the hell is your complaint. You *clearly* stated that you've been long enough in the business that you don't need the credits to prove yourself (and blow up your ego), yet the moment you don't get 'named' credit you complain. Jesus christ, does anybody in this group *not* knee-jerk into hostility without thinking? I didn't post that! Get your facts straight before you bitch at me. My problem is that Linus on the one hand rejects my patches because, I quote we do not want to work with anonymous people, but then happily accepts and commits my fixes _without credit_! And then rubs my face in it. If they want me to respect their policy, how about not changing it whenever it suits them?! Or what about Daniel outright insulting BlueChip for 'only whinging and having made no contributions', and then when BlueChip clearly proves otherwise, doesn't even have the decency to issue an apology? Is there honour in these people?? I have been (and still am) involved in other projects, and have never had to deal with such disgraceful behaviour! In case anybody missed it, this is how I arrived here: Hi guys, great work you've done on this thing! So great in fact that two days after reading about what RockBox can do, I'm holding a H140 in my hand :). The bullshit I've since had thrown at me has got me here. And still I report core bugs because technically Rockbox is a great project and I've dedicated a huge amount of time to it already. Getting those things fixed as I find them seems like the right thing to do, especially in light of the 3.0 deadline. But what the hell am I bothering for? And I would advise against using the alias 'gl.tter' as it strongly resembles the name of a fellow countryman of you who's in jail for not so nice things. Unless they have internet access there ;) We have a word for that in England, it rougly translates as 'pathetic'. -- gl

Either give you credit or ignore them? Like you have the copyright of the bugs? You brought them to light so they will be fixed one way or the other. If you are offended by this then stop the bug reporting/fixing. (though I would like you to continue)You continue to accuse the main developers and I am a little tired of this. I just don't want anymore of this story. It is starting to become spam. You are a small minority over this so I think that while you made your opinion clear (and you have the right to do so), repeating over this doesn't help anymore.You are a great programmer and your work in finding bugs is appreciated. But don't expect to gain credit from this the way things are now. (anyaway you claimed that you don't need credit) I just hope that this topic won't become like the previous one.
