If you say that stop/cancel is a hidden function and that is a bad UI-design, how can you even suggest such stupid thing as ON+ON+STOP. That if anything is hidden and (more or less) impossible to tell the user to use. > it's just common sense to press the STOP key to back out of the current menu > level. Well, maybe I'm not common then. I really don't see it sense in pressing STOP to accept a change. Backing out from something should in my point of view discard the change, not accepting it. But, yes to you, when I do a little look now I see that changing the volume doesn't accept play as accept (only stop for accept and no cancel). That is inconsistent and bad UI-design and really need a fix. (I never change volume in Rockbox) > That is a very poor argument.

You should try to understand me. You want to do exactly the same thing (but worst) to me that you accuse me to do to you (and mapping ON+ON+STOP to a function). > > I press stop in other menues and go up one level I see it as cancelling > > the current level. > > That's ridiculous. Now you are just playing with words to try to support a > bad design. Everyone thinks that the stop key goes back one menu level, not > cancels a menu level. Go back or cancel. Same shit for me. I'm a user too, and that IS how I see things. I don't see anything rediculous in that. I use my player less and less, so take charge and do whatever you want. But you make a misstake if you think you have the only common sense and the only right way to look on functions like menues, accept, back and so on. // Kjell Received on 2003-08-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
