haven't access to a Touch, and therefore don't see how a context menu is called up, since there are no buttons. I guess touch is play and tocuh and hold is context??
For other control methods (IR, SBC or on device buttons - Boom/radio) then there are clearer button options i.e. play, + and then right/centre/push knob. 7.4 has introduced '+ is more' as well as '+ is add'. This is introduced not changed as IR to SB3 still acts as '+ is add' but using IR with Radio it is '+ is more'. This has caused confusion already (threads http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68568 and http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69376) I like Sue's suggestion of short context menu, primarily because right/centre/push = play is too prone to wipe the current playlist due to either habit (hitting to see track details) or over-zealous browsing (button presses getting ahead of display). However I also think multiple context menus would add complexity, expecially with their reduced space on SBC. I think a wider solution is needed to provide consistency for those of us with multiple player types to keep us sane. The Touch will provide a new mechanism (touch) but if using an IR why should it behave differently from an SB3/Boom. I understand that there is a strong stance to '+ is more' and therefore the solution may be have to be some form of configuration option (most games on consoles or p.c. seem to allow this, so it shouldn't be beyond new users). This overlaps with https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13689 but that may be too much for dev's to do prior to Touch release so an interim (pragmatic) solution may be needed. -- DigitalMitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69471 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
