DetailsThe hover delay seems way too long to me. The half-second delay makes it
pretty sluggish. Think about it: read through a directory of 20 files, not only do you need to wait for the disk to spin, files to be loaded and the name to be spoken, you wait an extra 10secs doing nothing... I'm not entirely sure about the hover concept; the comment says it's there to avoid immediate disk activity. I guess you might want to be able to click rapidly through a directory without opening every file. But if you've set talk_file to talk mp3 clip, it's probably because you need those names spoken and you'll be waiting for them. (And you should probably increase your disk spin down setting slightly.) I propose changing the delay from HZ/2 to HZ/4. A tiny change, but FAR LESS ANNOYING. As long as you click 4 times per second, no clips should be loaded. Someone wanted to increase that delay a short while ago, something about the ipod clickwheel. Could someone explain the problem to me? If there is an issue with this, we can just make it target-specific, or a configurable setting. I might like it even shorter... |

Additional comments about closing: This faced resistance, some people like it shorter, some people like it longer... I guess it comes down to personal taste.
