#rockbox log for 2009-03-24

00:00:02Bagdertaylor_: nano 2g+ are more different
00:00:39taylor_Yeah, trust me, I know :) Its just the older guys I haven't studied much
00:00:47rasherbluebrother: I basically just removed everything and saw what was missing when building, then svn upped that. Then made the tarball with −−exclude-vcs

00:00:53Bagderif you know, why do you ask?
00:01:25taylor_I dont know? I said: I dont know that much about the older ones, but 3g/4g nano I do.
00:01:29Bagderrbutil 1.2 packages are now on the download master
00:01:50rasherI think we should just link them on the page already
00:02:10Bagdertaylor_: you asked about the similarities, I told you about diffs and you told me you know
00:02:13rasherBetter have people wait a bit than get an old version without theme support
00:03:11taylor_Bagder: Yep. Im just talking about when you said 2g+ are different

00:03:43BagderI think the main obstacles with the emu is the surrounding hw anyway
00:03:51taylor_Yeah
00:03:55taylor_CPU is easy
00:04:18taylor_it will be integrating flash support, a pretend clickwheel, etc

00:49:33JdGordon|it just stopped? didnt freeze or crash?
00:50:28gevaertsThe WPS was mostly blank when I looked, showing (root) and things like that. Aftre leaving the WPS and going back it now shows the metadata correctly, but track length is shown as 0

00:51:47Bagdersomeone please fire away a mail!
00:51:55gevaertsI use random folder advance, but it's not near the end of a folder (about halfway 3 of 4). This is using flac
00:52:02*Unhelpful has another case (besides the wide cabbie theme) for searching for tagged filenames when loading album art: AA that has been filtered to match look+feel of some wps theme
00:52:04amiconnI'm testing right now; Player is already verified wortking
00:52:29gevaertshm, I'm lying. Metadata is not complete. Some bits are missing
00:52:32*Bagder updated the site
00:52:46JdGordon|gevaerts: crap... ok, i guess this is a track you havnt had roblems with before?
00:52:47*amiconn now has Rockbox 3.2 RomBox running on his Player
00:53:08gevaertsJdGordon|: not that I can remember. Random folder advance tends to make you not notice that :)
00:53:08rasherUnhelpful: Yeah, that's what I was aiming for with the transform stuff earlier
00:53:44JdGordon|gevaerts: yeah, fair enough... ok, ill try some flacs tonight and see what happens, was there anything funny in the buffering screen?
00:54:38gevaertsJdGordon|: hard to say, I'm not too used to it... PCM is at 0, the other three numbers are at about 6MB of 28

00:55:56Unhelpfuli see one problem with your reflection case, i don't think we really handle drawing text over wps, do we?
00:56:20JdGordon|gevaerts: yeah, go for it, see if its reproducable at all

01:15:26TennesseeI got a sansa e280, I just got it running a week ago. I just had some questions I am having trouble findng in the manual.
01:15:49evilnickTennessee: Fire away
01:16:17TennesseeI uploaded the firmware with automatic, and it has the extra stuff on it.
01:16:31TennesseeI was wondering how I could delete some things I dont want but keep what I do want
01:16:46evilnickWhich items?
01:17:03Tennesseewell for one thing there is some music on there
01:17:27Tennesseeotherwise I am not sure which games/apps I want and dont want yet... but maybe I would like to know for future reference
01:18:00 Quit itcheg ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
01:18:18evilnickTennessee: The music would have been there from the Sansa firmware so that's not needed

01:19:04TennesseeOk
01:19:29TennesseeI looked at the memory and it said like 5gb out of 8gb...
01:19:48evilnickTo delete the music, you can simply highlight the file (or even the folder) and do a long click on the select button and then find Delete
01:20:02TennesseeI cant find the file with the file viewer for music
01:20:21evilnickTennessee: The OF will hide that folder deliberately
01:20:38evilnickChange the file view to All and then the Music folder will be visible
01:20:54Tennesseeok let me try

01:22:03 Quit BlakeJohnson86 (Remote closed the connection)
01:22:28TennesseeI am setting it to show files all?? how do I select it
01:22:57evilnicker... try Power
01:22:58Tennesseethere got it
01:23:38Tennesseewill these folders show up when I look at the storage device in my computer?
01:23:49evilnickI'm not sure that Sansa would put a whole 3GB of music on it though! Mine had maybe 100 or 200 MB
01:24:03Tennesseehmmm....
01:24:06evilnickProvided your computer is set to show all files
01:24:14Tennesseeok
01:24:57Tennesseethere it is working
01:25:31Tennesseemusic folder 71 mb
01:25:37Tennesseewhat is taking up so much space?
01:25:40evilnickWhen the OF boots, it will set the "music" folder to be hidden. So the usual advice is to store your music in a different folder so that you can have the File View set to whatever you want
01:26:03TennesseeI will make a new music folder then.
01:26:17Tennesseewhen I get a sd card then I will store music in there I think.
01:26:43evilnickI'm still puzzled as to where the 3GB went!
01:27:08Tennesseeehh... I do have a dead show that is still .flac 1 gb
01:27:11rasherTry rescanning the disk for free space
01:27:22TennesseeHow???
01:27:25rasherHang on..
01:27:56evilnickTennessee: What are you looking at to report the free space? Rockbox or your computer?
01:28:03Tennesseerockbox
01:28:21rasherTennessee: System > Rockbox Info, press Select
01:28:35evilnickAha, Rockbox needs to be told to update the free space so follow rasher's instructions
01:28:46Tennesseeok
01:29:33Tennesseeit says 5.61gb/7.45gb
01:29:46TennesseeI said I have a dead show on there 1gb... its still flac
01:30:00TennesseeI put a few more songs on it
01:30:17evilnickTennessee: Try running the disktidy plugin too, in case there's items in the Recycle Bin
01:30:24amiconnThe free space information needs to be updated only if it was used on a windows PC before
01:31:21amiconnEven though microsoft invented fat32 and it's fsinfo block, they decided to ignore that block in windows and not update it. Afaik linux updates it properly; no idea what macos does
01:31:39evilnickamiconn: Thanks for the clarification
01:31:56amiconns/it's/its/
01:32:08Tennesseecan I delete the old sansa MUSIC folder/PHOTO/VIDEO etc??
01:33:14evilnickTennessee: If you want to. IIRC there are also some sample videos there so they'd take up some room too.
01:33:39Tennessee.IIRC folder?
01:34:19TennesseeI think I will keep the games and apps and demos if they do not take up so much room
01:34:58TennesseeI think I will get winamp pro to decode my flac to mp3... I do not have a good program to convert to mp3 so all I have takes up too much room
01:35:43TennesseeThanks a lot for the help. Lots of lostof questions

01:36:12Tennesseeahh.
01:36:13Tennesseeok

01:37:03TennesseeI like them anyways.
01:37:28scorcheyou can delete any .rock files you want, however they dont take up much space..

01:48:26Tennesseebut I can do some things
01:48:36Tennesseeok
01:48:40Tennesseethanks for the heads up
01:48:47evilnickNo problem
01:49:04TennesseeI can delete other folders like photo, music, video, playlists?
01:49:23davidfg4I think it is safe to delete everything from a sansa(except .rockbox)
01:49:32evilnickAll those are safe to delete
01:49:51davidfg4the original firmware just recreates it when it starts
01:50:08Tennesseeok.... what is version.sdk, version.txt, root.m3u?
01:50:30Tennesseedeletable?
01:50:49evilnickthe m3u is definitely deletable
01:50:57davidfg4you can delete any of that
01:51:09davidfg4but it will be recreated if you start the OF
01:51:20evilnickAnd saratoga did say that you can delete anything but the .rockbox folder so you should be okay
01:53:14Tennesseealrighty, thanks a lot
01:53:26TennesseeI am looking some stuff over now...
01:55:59Tennesseei am an artist so I want to put my pictures on here
01:56:08TennesseeI got them loaded up.
01:56:59TennesseeIs it bad to unplug the usb while it is still on? or disconect it?
01:59:34davidfg4on windows there is an icon that will safely disconnect your device
01:59:35saratogano
01:59:55davidfg4but so long as it is not writing data it is probably fine to pull it
02:00
02:00:02kadobanit's a bad thing to do so without safely disconnecting in one way or another
02:00:20Tennesseemany different answers to one question
02:00:39kadobandavidfg4: that depends heavily on the OS and you really shouldn't rely on it
02:00:41rasherThe safe answer is: Always use "Safely disconnect"
02:01:04rasherAnything else is a gamble
02:01:20Tennesseeok, that was a dumb question...
02:01:29Tennesseebut I keep doing it without thinking
02:02:30Tennesseeman
02:02:40Tennesseethere is so much space taken up and I cant figure it out
02:03:42Tennesseehow many mb in a gb?
02:04:22davidfg41024
02:04:34Tennesseehmm
02:05:04davidfg4or 1000, depending on how you count
02:05:06Tennesseemayb I am reading it backwards
02:05:22Tennesseeit says 6gb/8gb that means I have 6gb left
02:05:25Tennesseehaha
02:06:39Tennessee6.63gb/7.45gb means I have 6.63gb left right?
02:07:33davidfg4yes
02:08:10Tennesseein my computer it says I am using 884 mb
02:08:28Tennesseebut it says the device is only 6.63 gb
02:10:00Unhelpfulrasher: it's an idea. we could just key from the wps filename itself, but it probably makes more sense to have to enable it explicitly

02:11:34 Quit MethoS- (Remote closed the connection)
02:12:56rasherBy the way, why don't we store the filenames of loaded fonts, themes and languages so the lists can center on the currently used one?
02:13:06rasherAt least for fonts this makes a lot of sense
02:13:34Tennesseefor images... what is the maximum resolution/size of the image? Or what size does it need to be?

02:14:08Unhelpfulrasher: i'm agreed, there, after loading a theme, if you don't like the font, you probably don't even know what size the used font is without opening the theme in the text editor
02:14:54davidfg4Images can be any size(there might be a max, I don' t know)
02:15:05davidfg4The jpeg viewer can zoom
02:15:11rasherMy father was bitching at me about this the other day, and I had no good defense other than "uh.. we don't store the font name"
02:15:15TennesseeI put a lot of images on and it is not showing them it says unsuported
02:15:23davidfg4are they jpg?

02:20:16rasheramiconn: that tells very little the manual doesn't
02:20:44amiconnAh, didn't check the manual
02:21:18TennesseeProgressive scan is not supported, but RockBox complains about such pictures (Unsupported -4).
02:21:25Tennesseemine is saying Unsupported -4
02:21:34rasherSo there you have it.
02:21:44Tennesseewhat is progressive scan?
02:22:57rasherTennessee: Wikipedia's article on JPEG explains.
02:23:45amiconnUnhelpful: Btw, the new inner loops in PF render_slide() are pretty much maxed out now. I tried asm on SH1 - it wasn't any faster
02:24:31rasherIt doesn't seem to be actually called progressive scan though, rather "Progressive JPEG"
02:24:32amiconnIt seems that on smalll displays the covers at the sides aren't faded out, so that the simple loops are used (almost?) always

02:27:00Unhelpfuland it's outer loop, so it's only a per-column speedup

02:29:13TennesseeI will just forget about it for now
02:29:40amiconnUnhelpful: It is exactly the same core.
02:30:19Unhelpfulyes, that's going to *hurt* then, because the covers are larger and you can *easily* fit 6 or 7 on-screen
02:30:29Unhelpfuland it only gets 30-35fps on e200
02:30:32evilnickTennessee: http://www.irfanview.com/ will *probably* help you with that
02:31:00Tennesseethis is complicated stuff. if its not too tricky I can probably figure it out.
02:31:20TennesseeI have photoshop.. .youd think that could do it
02:31:33evilnickProbably yes
02:32:28amiconnUnhelpful: Btw, for testing speed it's useful to make PF render fullspeed all the time. Scrolling text will look funny if you do this on a fast target
02:32:58Unhelpfuli think you only need to force the timeout when it gets a new action, for that?

02:50:15Unhelpfuli believe optimizing should be just fine, it only uses customized huffman tables instead of predefined ones. by just resaving, you *are* losing some image quality.
02:51:39Tennesseeohhh... no matter what way I resave it??
02:51:47Tennesseemaybe I should resave in a different folder?
02:53:09Unhelpfuli said how to do it without loss. load/save will result in (hopefully not noticeably) reduced quality. it's probably best not to overwrite your originals. this is also getting pretty far away from really being *rockbox* support, at this point :)

03:34:46scorcheRockbox is (mostly) GPLv2 or later
03:42:05taylor_what major differences are made in newer GPL versions exactly?
03:42:10TBOL3Great. Ok, and is there any language that you want the projects in? It seems like you are using C.

03:55:40taylor_yep
03:55:42TBOL3taylor: With the gpl v2, a company like SanDisk can put rockbox as the OF for their player, and prevent you from replacing the firmware (for DRMish reasons usually). But under the GPLv3, they can't do that.

04:07:30cspotcodescorche: ok, thanks. Also, is support for the FM radio a priority? I have a tiny Sansa c200 that I use for running, so I get a lot of use out of the radio, and would like to make better PC-side support for that
04:07:38TBOL3martytuhry: Basically, a complete content managment system. Say for example your listening to a file, and your half way through it, you should be able to just plug in your player, and continue right where you left off. Just one example.
04:07:55scorchecspotcode: what is there to support PC-side?
04:08:28cspotcodescorche: Rockbox lets me scan for radio presets, but the PC could then look up the names of all those stations by querying the FCC's site
04:10:06TBOL3cspotcode: So, how do you plan on implementing this?
04:10:58scorchethese sound like interesting options (some may not be quite what we would like, but we can deal with it then...), but the database/tagcache integration is the main item we would look for in such a project...put together a proposal and we can look it over and suggest from there

04:15:51TBOL3from what I've heard, it would need to include more of a study into what people want out of their DAPs, and then coding it?
04:16:45TBOL3That also sounds really fun, but I want to know how much the devs would want it (from what it seems, not much)
04:16:54scorchehrm...i am not sure about such an idea, but other devs may have other opinions on it

07:30:06LloreanIt's possible the grid could be reduced from 9 areas to a less grid-like 5 areas (divide a square from corner to corner to get four triangles and draw a smaller square in the center of it) to make it need less precision.
07:30:15LloreanBut the general functionality is sound for my use.

07:36:54codyyyfirst problem was error 0000010, found out the HDD wasn't connected properly, however I formatted using Gigabeat and then it went to a 00300060
07:37:20Lloreancodyyy: Problems getting the original firmware to work really should be taken to Toshiba. They actually know what those numbers mean, we don't.
07:37:32codyyyok pretty much I'd like to know if there is any way I can just use Rockbox completely on its own on my player
07:38:55LloreanThe player needs to be working before you can install Rockbox, as we don't replace the initial flash bootup code
07:39:39codyyyok thanks. I'm getting a 0000020 code now, and from the research I've done, I think that's a code I can't fix

09:54:22Galoisdid the author of keybox.c pay attention to block cipher modes? It doesn't look like it to me (then again I've only looked at the C file for five minutes)
09:57:09 Join LinusN [0] (n=linus@rockbox/developer/LinusN)
09:57:44B4gderblock cipher modes? but I have no idea what anyone might have paid attention to
09:57:58Galoishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_modes_of_operation#Electronic_codebook_.28ECB.29 has a nice picture. You don't want to use ECB. I believe from looking at the code that keybox.c uses ECB.
09:58:33webguest44so in light of comments above, it seems that the code hasn't really been reviewed for "strength of encryption", I'll hold off in using it for my banking details
09:58:57B4gderwebguest44: but who would do that and with what kind of confidence?
09:59:26B4gderGalois: I don't think the code comes from there
09:59:36Galoisa block cipher mode is not a piece of code
09:59:41Galoisit's a way of using the cipher
09:59:43B4gderand block cipher only means it encrypts/decrypts in blocks

09:59:58B4gderwhy is that better/worse than what's now?
10:00
10:00:02Galoisyes, TEA is a block cipher, therefore block cipher modes are relevant
10:00:19B4gderah is that what you're saying?
10:00:27B4gderyou don't really speak out
10:00:30LloreanGalois: The cipher can't magically be used in a particular way without code to use it, so I don't get your "not a piece of code" bit.
10:00:31Galoissorry
10:00:59B4gderyou mean a block cipher is bad for this?
10:01:11Galoisit's complicated. I'll try to explain.
10:01:15B4gderI figure without enough salting or padding it could be
10:01:36GaloisTEA is a block cipher. It covers one thing and one thing only: how to convert [block size] number of bytes to another number of [block size] bytes.
10:01:41B4gder"everything" these days use block ciphers
10:01:50GaloisWhen one speaks of the cipher, this is what is meant.
10:02:03GaloisThe wikipedia reference code does just that - encrypts one single block
10:02:06Galoisor decrypt one single block
10:02:27GaloisI notice keybox.c uses the same code as in wikipedia, so we can say with confidence that it operates on individual blocks correctly
10:02:50B4gderyeah, unless there's a bug in other parts
10:02:50Galoisbut, what you put into each block, is a separate issue from what you do with each block
10:03:08Galoisit looks to me like keybox.c does the simplest thing: put plaintext directly into a block, and encrypt
10:03:13Galoisthis is called ECB mode of usage
10:03:34Galoistheres some endian-ness byte swapping but this is not considered highly relevant. It's basically ECB.
10:04:03GaloisCryptographers generally prefer to pre-process the blocks in a more nontrivial way prior to encryption
10:04:11Galois(and un-preprocess it after decryption)
10:04:11 Quit PaulJam (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:04:28Galoisthese preprocessing routines have various names, CFB , CBC, and so on
10:04:33B4gderyes, as I mentioned above it really should to be more secure
10:04:36GaloisI dont' see any such preprocessing going on
10:04:55B4gderbut then TEA is not that strong cipher to start with
10:05:11Galoisto a cryptographer, the pre-processing step is separate from the core encryption routine, which in this case is TEA
10:05:14B4gderI don't think this plugin is meant to be supersafe for 100 years ;-)
10:05:36Galoisthe pre-processing is a bunch of xors, and highly cheap. There's almost never any reason not to do it.

14:39:49n1seh sorry for the caps
14:40:09assadn1s: what do u suggest then?
14:40:55markunwould there be a license problem with espeak as a GPLv3 plugin?
14:41:39n1sassad: i don't know what to do but a GPLv3 version of espeak can not be integrated with rockbox while rockbox remains GPLv2
14:41:59n1smarkun: since plugins are linked against rockbox they need to have a compatible license
14:42:01markunn1s: is rockbox GPLv2? I thought we changed everything to GPLv2+ now
14:42:28markunyou mean linked at compile time or when they are executed?
14:42:35gevaertsmarkun: it's v2+, but we want to keep it that way
14:42:52 Quit wangxiang (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
14:42:54n1smarkun: yes, we are GPLv2+ but the only difference is that we *can* migrate to GPLv3, it doesn't necessarily mean we will or should
14:42:55Erantmarkun: Doesn't matter. Unless espeak has an LGPL version.
14:43:06markunwould it change to GPLv3 or GPLv2 if some plugins use either?
14:43:39n1smarkun: linked at compile (well link) time
14:44:19markunn1s: then you would just end up with a GPLv3 plugin which is compatible with the GPLv2+ rockbox libs it got linked with, right?
14:44:26n1sno
14:44:34markunhm, I see the problem..
14:44:41n1sgplv3 is not compatible with gplv2
14:44:45markunthat's what I hate about open source :)
14:44:52ErantGotta love this shit.
14:44:58n1syes it's bloody annoying ;)

14:45:43markunah, damn
14:46:18ErantWhat was the main difference between v2 and v3 again?
14:46:37ErantGotta be a lawyer/coder these days :/
14:47:38markunI know that they people from XMMS2 care less about this.
14:47:51markunThey think that it's ok to have plugins in a different license
14:48:08 Join Zharf [0] (i=jms@xmms2/developer/Eclipser)
14:48:14n1sit depends on how plugins are integrated afaiu
14:48:16markunthey just have an API which is BSD licensed, but I was told here that that's not legal
14:48:40markunn1s: so if we integrate them differently it's possible for us as well?
14:49:42ErantAs long as you don't link stuff in. Has to exist as a seperate entity
14:49:44n1smarkun: afaik, yes
14:49:57ErantPeople have to be able to swap it out.
14:50:19markunErant: what do you mean? That plugins can't be swapped out in rockbox?
14:50:34kugelpetur: ping
14:50:42pixelmaI believe I once was told it's not easy to integrate them differently as a Rockbox plugin relies an a couple of functions so that you can only use it as a plugin under Rockbox
14:50:51peturkugel: plonk
14:50:57n1swell, the problem is in 2 parts for us 1) plugins are linked to the rockbox main binary and 2) they must include the plugin.h header which is under gplv2+
14:51:16ErantDamned viral licenses.
14:51:38peturkugel: I didn't look much further into the proble, real-life came inbetween

15:22:38kugelthe initial update is incomplete
15:23:08kugelbut in theory, this shouldn't be a problem, since nearly the same update is done when activating backlight
15:26:17kugelpetur: either the screen needs to be cleared later in gui_wps_display(), or the update on activating backlight should be gui_wps_display() (instead of gui_wps_redraw)

20:13:56Diamondblade2009Hi
20:14:15Diamondblade2009I got an iRiver H140 off ebay just to run rockbox :)
20:14:20 Join archivator [0] (n=archivat@77.70.28.57)
20:14:24Diamondblade2009they are so rare those iriver players
20:14:32BigBambigood choice
20:14:46Diamondblade2009yea
20:14:56Diamondblade2009I also wanted the iRiver for its suite of recording functions
20:15:12Diamondblade2009Virtually all mp3 players today are player only, no recording (apart from voice recording)
20:15:43Diamondblade2009Is there a way to turn off the Rockbox logo in the bottom right corner of the screen?
20:15:43LambdaCalculus37So is there anything you want to ask regarding the H140?
20:16:05Diamondblade2009Does Rockbox support the optical in/out on the H140?
20:16:09BigBambiDiamondblade2009: Change the backdrop
20:16:23Diamondblade2009oh right how do i do that?
20:16:24BigBambiDiamondblade2009: yes, please take a look at the manual

20:17:32Diamondblade2009its a pity rockbox isn't supported on the ipod 160gb
20:17:39MStoykovI saw that there are some pages about it

20:18:43Diamondblade2009ok
20:18:44MStoykovyeah
20:18:46Diamondblade2009i was just saying
20:18:49Diamondblade2009my apologies
20:19:02MStoykovI was just hoping it runs mp3 or anything at all
20:19:19BigBambiDiamondblade2009: This is a support and development channel - if everyone just said then the noise would be unbearable
20:19:28Diamondblade2009okay
20:19:31MStoykovas I was going to propose to do some work on the support as summer of code project
20:19:34BigBambiMStoykov: As I said, it is not anywhere near suitable for users
20:19:47BigBambiMStoykov: Ah, well that is different then
20:19:57Diamondblade2009im just wondering if the ipod 160gb would get supported
20:20:03Diamondblade2009i think rockbox would run pretty neat on it
20:20:14BigBambiMStoykov: First step will be to read the thread in the new ports forum, and the wiki pages. All info should be there
20:20:36BigBambiDiamondblade2009: Right, and I've said why it isn't going to happen unless there is a major unforsen breakthrough

20:51:02DarkSpectrumyes i am, interested in learning and maybe eventually helping
20:51:35MStoykovI actually use it at the moment (and it's my only source of music out of home and I would be glad if I get some information how to do it (and undo it)
20:52:49mcuelenaereMStoykov: there's no real need for that, the wiki already has some pictures of the inner of the zen
20:52:50saratoga_labMStoykov: is there any reason to take it apart?
20:53:10shotofaddsLlorean, JdGordon, mcuelenaere (or whoever is interested): I've added a setting to switch the touchscreen mode between the 3x3 grid and abosulte point modes, but I wanted some feedback before commit. The patch is at fs#9129. Any comments?
20:53:28*mcuelenaere takes a look
20:53:48shotofaddsI also think the plugin loader should set the touchscreen mode to Grid before launching plugins, and reset the user's preference afterwards. How does that sound?
20:54:02MStoykovI don't want to if it is possible as I have two left hands ( meaning I am not the dexterous type of person
20:54:26MStoykovso
20:54:30mcuelenaereshotofadds: personally, I would prefer a button combination to switch between the two modes
20:54:44mcuelenaereand some of the plugins should have support for the absolute point mode
20:55:12mcuelenaereMStoykov: I don't think there's any need for you to take it apart
20:55:17MStoykovbasically the work will be to make the cpu (which is already known and have some opensource code for it) to work and to connect all the buttons with the right signals
20:55:30mcuelenaereit's much more work then that
20:55:48shotofaddsmcuelenaere: the thinking here is that with a setting, RbUtil could be used to set up the default mode at first install (for blind users, etc)
20:55:52mcuelenaereand it isn't really the CPU, it's the SoC that needs work
20:56:06 Quit LambdaCalculus37 ("CGI:IRC 0.5.9 (2006/06/06)")
20:56:26shotofaddsand yes, I agree some plugins should use absolute point mode. but the amount of work involved to adapt all plugins might be painful..
20:56:29mcuelenaereshotofadds: sounds good, but I still would prefer some sort of on-the-fly switching next to that
20:56:42shotofaddsmcuelenaere: talk to Llorean ;-)
20:56:59mcuelenaereshotofadds: I ported some plugins to absolute point mode in the past (can't remember which/how many)
20:57:05gevaertsshotofadds: commit and let him revert if he wants to ;)
20:57:05saratoga_labfirst i'd like to see touch work well in core, then I'm sure people will be motivated to update plugins
20:57:20saratoga_labwe'll surely have many touch targets in the future
20:57:43shotofaddsyes, I think we'd all like to see that
20:58:23shotofaddsactually, ditch that idea of plugins using grid mode by defaut - all the plugins that use standard menus should use the user's preference...
20:58:32mcuelenaeredid Llorean state he didn't want 'on-the-fly' switching between the 2 modes ..?
20:58:45shotofaddsmcuelenaere: one minute, I'll find the log
20:58:56mcuelenaereshotofadds: I don't think it's a bad idea, a lot of plugins aren't adjusted to absolute point mode

21:09:07saratoga_labi don't think knowing c is that big a deal, its mostly just time and knowing low level hardware stuff
21:09:13*shotofadds wonders what determines whether a target should be included on the themes site
21:10:00MStoykovDoes some one can give some begging reading for the "low level hardware stuff"
21:10:16rasherSo, does the theme site announcement go in the Announcements forum or in "WPS and Appearance Customization"?

21:25:13MTsaratoga_lab : that would be great. Thanks a lot.
21:25:39linuxstbqcjn: No, it's easy to install (and uninstall). The Rockbox manual describes all.
21:25:54mcuelenaereshotofadds: so getting back to your patch, I think you should commit it
21:26:00saratoga_labMT: I would say that you should have a basic idea of how the DFT/FFT differ from the continuous time fourier transform, but a detailed understanding of how they are implemented is not needed

21:40:25webguest84is it really that much faster?
21:40:26rasherDarkSpectrum: in that case it's the user's fault. The problem is if you include the font, and the fontpack is later updated with a newer version, people might overwrite it with the current version if they install your theme
21:40:34*Erant suggests getting a real OS ;)

21:53:23fmlHello. Is there any reason to not to include a fourth option to the quick screen (on targets where buttons would allow it)? I know there is a patch, but why isn't it included into SVN? My main concern is not even the number of options but the consistency of operating.
21:53:26BigBambirasher: How often is checkwps built?
21:53:43gevaertsErant: probably
21:53:49rasherBigBambi: also manually (for now, but easily crontabbable)
21:53:57Lloreanfml: Wouldn't three options always be more consistent than sometimes three, sometimes four?
21:54:00 Part tidalwav1
21:54:42linuxstbrasher: As a user, I would want to know how recently it was last checked. But maybe just a global statement at the top of each page saying when the themes were last checked for "current build" compatibility would be enough,
21:55:02linuxstbOr if you plan to do it (e.g.) nightly, then just say that.
21:55:11rasherOh, surely no less than nightly
21:56:22fmlLlorean: you mean consistency between platforms is more important than the consistency of operating (one button changes one "quick setting") within one platform?
21:56:47Lloreanfml: No, I mean "what consistency do you gain from having four directions"?
21:57:04Llorean"Down, left, and right each change a setting" sounds pretty consistent to me as long as it always works.
21:57:20fmlLlorean: see above: one button = change a different setting
21:57:38LloreanThat's not "added consistency" that's "added functionality"
21:57:51fmlLlorean: the inconsistency is that left and right change different settings, but up and down the same one

21:58:05Lloreanfml: I'd say "up" changing it is a bug.
21:58:08pixelmafml: afaik it also has to do with flipped lcd (and buttons) and the original real quick mode to operate the screen on the recorders which was - hold some button as long as you want to see the screen and the operate it with left/right/down which would become up when lcd is flipped and this combo wasn't possible. There was a wish to restore this functionality which was lost with the invention of button actions

21:58:32 Part akur
21:58:34Lloreanfml: The consistency could also be added by fixing the bug.
21:59:15fmlLlorean: yes, it could
21:59:16LloreanPersonally, I think making up "go back one value" instead of cycling values in the same direction as down could be more valuable.
21:59:54fmlpixelma: I guess there are more situations where we have to see whether the screen is flipped and swap up and down accordingly, right?
21:59:56LloreanIf you put an option with quite a few values in your quickscreen, and accidentally miss the one you want it can be quite frustrating. It'd make "center" ideal for long lists, while left/right are better for short ones, as opposed to just having four short ones.
21:59:57qcjnok, excuse me i found the answer
22:00
22:00:08pixelmaLlorean: wouldn't left/right be confusing then?
22:00:20Lloreanpixelma: Not any more than it is now.
22:00:47fmlLlorean: more valuable but more inconsistent. And it would cut off the possibility of adding the fourth option.
22:00:53pixelmafml: what do you want to tell me with this?
22:00:54Lloreanpixelma: Currently "Up" and "Down" do exactly the same thing. We'd just be making Up and Down cycle through the bottom option in opposite directions. For most people looking at the screen this would be more intuitive than current.
22:01:23shotofaddsmcuelenaere: there's no calibration function in the D2 OF, so it shouldn't be necessary in Rockbox. That said, the current empirical 'calibration' could use some adjustment...

22:02:25fmlLlorean: I don't know yet. My concern is inconsistency
22:03:04Lloreanfml: But you're making up inconsistency. It's not inconsistent with itself, it's inconsistent with other options that work different... many things by this standard are inconsistent.
22:03:23LloreanIt can be described in the manual, and it will always work the same every time you enter the screen - this is consistent.
22:03:38mcuelenaereshotofadds: what do you mean with the 'current empirical calibration'?
22:03:44shotofaddsLlorean: yeah, it might be good to have. I'm just saying the OF doesn't have a calibration feature, yet I've never heard a single person say the D2 touchscreen isn't accurate enough...
22:04:02fmlpixelma: I mean that we're intelligent enough to respect the flipped screen in some situations. We could do that in the quick screen as well, i.e. only allow one button (up or down) to change the "middle" setting
22:04:14shotofaddsmcuelenaere: there is a hard-coded adjustment factor in the touchscreen driver. that might be better done using a calibration screen..
22:04:19*mcuelenaere thinks this is one of those 'Rockbox is superior above the OF'-features
22:04:25shotofaddssure
22:04:46fmlLlorean: yes, it's inconsistent with other buttons in that screen, i.e. in that context
22:04:58Lloreanfml: Yes, but that's silly.
22:05:10LloreanPlay is inconsistent with Up/Down in the list, because play takes you to another screen.
22:05:16LloreanButtons are allowed to do different types of things.
22:05:35fmlHe-he, the unsupported Gigabeats have most themes on the RB themes page :-)
22:05:37LloreanLeft/Right can cycle in a single direction, while Up/Down can actually cycle in opposite directions. It's allowed.
22:05:54pixelmaas far as I understood - it respects the flipped screen but one button combo was not possible and that shows when the screen is flipped or so. Note: I have never seen this in action

22:08:52shotofadds*it
22:08:54shotofadds:-)
22:08:58fmlLlorean: but "up" and "down" are closer to each other (e.g. on H120) than "play" hence I'd expect them to operate more in the same way that "play". On e200, down changes the option but up (which is PLAY as well) does it too.
22:09:27mcuelenaereshotofadds: hmm yes, well it needs a touchscreen calibration screen to be useful actually :)
22:09:36rasherlinuxstb: I don't know. If we keep unsupported targets off the theme site, themes will just accumulate elsewhere
22:09:57rasherFor ports as advanced as the Gigabeat S at least
22:10:15shotofaddsmcuelenaere: don't suppose you've start one...

22:11:12Lloreanfml: So, if there's no option at the top of the screen, why would you expect up to do *anything* then?
22:11:22linuxstbrasher: But maybe that's a problem we don't need to solve until it happens - i.e. if we see themes for unsupported targets accumulating elsewhere, then make a decision about including them.
22:11:45Lloreanfml: I mean, it sounds like your view of "consistency" is "users should be able to guess what every single button does" which isn't really what that means.
22:11:59BigBambilinuxstb: could well be too late by then though if people are already using somewhere else
22:12:04rasherlinuxstb: Maybe. Mostly I just added the targets we have icons for. Didn't think it through too much
22:12:27fmlLlorean: no, I mean if the button wouldn't do anything that would be more consistent than what we have now
22:12:46rasherlinuxstb: The S is on the manuals download page as well btw
22:12:47Lloreanrasher, linuxstb: I think the Gigabeat S is kinda a special case since it's so very close to supported it almost made it in the release.
22:12:59shotofaddsmcuelenaere: I'm not really the best person to ask about adding new screens... although actually storing the settings is quite straightforward (eg. see fs#9129 again).
22:13:16mcuelenaereyes, adding one Int is straightforward
22:13:20linuxstbrasher: Another accident I think...
22:13:29mcuelenaerebut I'm not sure how to add an array of 5 ints..
22:13:37Lloreanfml: Consistent with the other buttons on the screen. Buttons that have another option preventing them from being bidirectional so are *visibly* a different case to anyone who looks at the screen.
22:13:51fmlLlorean: and BTW: if the user could guess what every button do −− that would mean we have a perfect user interface!

22:16:12fmlThe manual states (in the appendix B, WPS tags) that "The images must be in a rockbox compatible format (1 bit per pixel BMP)". Is this correct for color screens as well?
22:16:21Lloreanfml: And i don't recall any cases of users being confused by the quickscreen. I don't see why "consistency" is such an issue there if it's not a problem for users.
22:16:35shotofaddsmcuelenaere: I guess either 5 separate settings or a CUSTOM_SETTING?
22:16:50rasherLlorean: How do you feel about crossposting the theme site announcement to the WPS subforum? I imagine a good deal of users don't follow Announcements
22:16:57mcuelenaereI tried using a CUSTOM_SETTING but didn't came far
22:17:23linuxstbrasher: BTW, on the version of the themes site I committed, there were a few wiki links, which are no longer on your site. i.e. a link to "ThemeInstallation" and a link to "ThemeSubmission" (or similar).

22:17:50LloreanSo it's a combination announcement and guidelines
22:17:56rasherAh, good idea
22:18:01fmlLlorean: what matters is the principle of the least surprise. And the UP button is a surprise IMO. Less surprise is IMO better even if WITH the suprise you get more functionality

22:18:27bluebrothergrrr.
22:18:29Lloreanlinuxstb: It could be a brief summary then a link to the upload page or the wiki page.
22:18:44Lloreanfml: By that standard we should remove 95% of Rockbox.
22:18:46bluebrotherwhy does the target shortname differ between rbutil and rockbox-info.txt in _some_ cases only?
22:18:47linuxstbrasher: Not really...
22:18:50Lloreanfml: We have a ton of functionality that is surprising.
22:19:09rasherlinuxstb: Alright. It has a link to the theme guidelines wikipage then.
22:19:19linuxstbrasher: But the idea was to force people to go through that ThemeGuidelines page in order to get to the upload form.
22:19:26rasherlinuxstb: That's not going to work.
22:19:28*bluebrother introduced a new bug in rbutil because of that :(
22:19:35kugelfml: I still want to add a forth item
22:19:45linuxstbrasher: Why not?
22:19:53kugelfml: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9706?string=quickscreen
22:19:55fmlpixelma: you're the WPS guru. Could you comment on the BMP note in the manual?
22:20:02rasherlinuxstb: 50% will not find the upload form, and 49% will skip right to it. 1% will read ThemeGuidelines in full.
22:20:24BigBambifml, kugel: I'm not anti a fourth item, but I feel no need to dress it up as being for consistency
22:20:32linuxstbrasher: "50% will not find the upload form" will only be true if that wiki page is badly designed.
22:20:32DarkSpectrumawsome, i have 2 themes up for the C200 now :)
22:20:35fmlpixelma: what images must have the same size as the LCD? Only the backdrops?
22:20:41Lloreankugel: What four options would you put on the quickscreen because you use them so very often?
22:20:55rasherlinuxstb: We enforce a lot of it through technical means. I think that's a better solution than hassling the would-be uploader
22:21:06DarkSpectrumi have about 10 more to upload for the C & E i'll pack em up and send them a little later
22:21:09LloreanBigBambi: that's mostly my point as well. I think there's a better feature than "fourth item" but I think they should be argued on the merits of the features, not "consistency for consistency's sake"
22:21:19gevaertsDarkSpectrum: great! People have been complaining about the lack of c200 themes...
22:21:20kugelBigBambi: I want a forth item because I find the quickscreen very useful
22:21:27fmlBigBambi: I think it would add consistency too (myabe as a side effect)
22:21:28LloreanConsistency's only a point when there's not functionality to be lost.
22:21:35kugelLlorean: backlight, for example
22:21:49DarkSpectrumi love the c200, i have made a ton of themes for it, i use the c200 in my car the most
22:21:53kugelbacklight brightness, I mean
22:22:20BigBambikugel: yep, I didn't mean that you were claiming the consistency thing - I just included you as you just said something :)
22:22:24Lloreankugel: So you change backlight brightness, shuffle, repeat, and file view nearly every time you use your player?
22:22:29kugelit's configurable, I don't need to tell four fixed items now, I think
22:22:45BigBambikugel: You're fricking obsessed by backlights :)
22:22:52kugelLlorean: not file view, but rather crossfeed
22:23:03pixelmafml: backdrop has to be exactly the same size, other than that I'm not sure how the parser deals with other images bigger than the lcd but there is a data size limit for all bitmaps together
22:23:17DarkSpectrumhttp://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?target=c200 −−−− tell me if you think the themees i just posted are worthy of my posting more of mine pleaes
22:23:19DarkSpectrumplease*
22:23:21kugelBigBambi: sorry that I'm almost blinded by full brightness in the night, but don't see anyting at daylist with low brightness
22:23:32Lloreankugel: So you really change four+ settings nearly every time you pick up your player? Why don't you have a couple .cfg files so it's even faster then?
22:23:43kugelit's not faster
22:24:05LloreanTwo .cfg files in root is faster than cycling through the options on four quickscreen settings.
22:24:07linuxstbrasher: It's not hassling people - it will just be a couple of extra clicks. But I'll agree to disagree ;)
22:24:11fmlpixelma: but "1 bit per pixel BMP" is definitely wrong, right?
22:24:13BigBambikugel: no need to apologise, it was a joke....
22:24:17kugelit requires going through 3-4 menus, plus finding the correct cfg out of dozens
22:24:24LloreanWhat 3-4 menus?
22:24:27LloreanYou can click on them in the file browser.
22:24:38LloreanAnd why do you need dozens?
22:24:46pixelmaif you change more than one setting in one "go" then cfg files are faster
22:24:58pixelmafml: where exactly?
22:25:04BigBambirasher: could the RSS feed include what target a theme is for?
22:25:06rasherlinuxstb: It can easily be changed of course, just change the link at the bottom of the frontpage to go to the Wiki instead. If it turns out I'm alone in this, I'll happily do it
22:25:13rasherBigBambi: Good idea
22:25:13LloreanEven if you do need dozens, because you can only go in one direction through quickscreen options, as long as you know what file you need, it should still be faster.
22:25:19linuxstbrasher: But why is the upload link at the bottom of the page? At least on my monitor, I need to scroll down to spot it, and I wouldn't normally scroll down, as I see all the table without scrolling...
22:25:31DarkSpectrumrasher: could i get your comment please?
22:25:32Bagdersomething tells me there's a <br> missing ...
22:25:37kugelwhy do I need to explain myself for liking the quickscreen and it's flexibility anyway?
22:25:45rasherDarkSpectrum: They look fine. The more the merrier!
22:25:50DarkSpectrumty
22:26:03rasherBagder: indeed. What a mess
22:26:03fmlLlorean: that's why I'd add the fourth option (or switch off the UP button) not because of functionality but because of consistency. I.e. My argument is not functionalyity but consistency of operating
22:26:06 Join AndyI [0] (i=AndyI@212.14.205.32)
22:26:08Lloreankugel: If you want to propose a change for it, you need to justify that it's more useful than other proposed changes.
22:26:10scorcheDarkSpectrum: it is a public theme repository...upload whatever you wish as long as it complies with our submission guidelines
22:26:22DarkSpectrumjust wanna make sure what i think may look cool doesnt spam the site with what others would think is junk
22:26:30Lloreanfml: And added functionality is what we should be discussing since you want to sacrifice another functionality choice for it.
22:26:44Lloreanfml: Rockbox _cannot_ be 100% surprise free given the amount of options it offers. You know this.
22:26:52gevaertsDarkSpectrum: choice is good :)
22:26:57fmlpixelma: manual, appendix B, notes after the Images table
22:27:08kugelLlorean: I'm in favor of a forth item no matter of it's current state (may it be inconsitency or the lost cannot-have-the-quickscreen-only-up-while-pressing-the-entering-button)
22:27:46DarkSpectrumscorche: yeah thats the thing, i had to rename a ton of files and redo the wps on them 2 to meet the guidelines, hence why it's gonna be later tonight to upload my other ones, i have to edit them to meet the file nameing guidelines
22:28:17kugelLlorean: seriously, why quickscreen at all if you want to go for dozens of .cfg anyway?
22:28:28Lloreankugel: I said _for changing multiple options_
22:28:35LloreanI use the quickscreen for single options I change regularly.
22:28:42fmlLlorean: but in every given context, we should strive to be as consistent as possible. You know this too (a good rhetoric note :-)
22:28:42rasherlinuxstb: A good question. Certainly not the best place, I'll be the first to admit
22:28:43kugelso I do
22:28:55rasherlinuxstb: I'm open to suggestions (and svn commits)
22:28:58Lloreankugel: But you said you change four options every time you pick up the player. That's faster with .cfg
22:29:33Lloreanfml: But only when it doesn't come with a sacrifice of functionality.
22:29:40kugelI have just more than 3 options I change rather often, so the more items the better (for me, that is). I don't see anything wrong with it
22:29:55pixelmafml: yeah, that looks oooold and wrong now. The bitmap loader will scale to native depth on load, I only experienced non-working bitmaps when I accidentally had some compressed ones
22:30:07Lloreankugel: But "better for you" doesn't mean "better overall"
22:30:08rasherBagder: fixed now.
22:30:23Lloreankugel: Why is it better than having the middle option bidirectional so that longer options can be used easily?
22:30:24kugelso what's wrong with a forth item Llorean ?
22:30:43BigBambiDarkSpectrum: Well, whenever you get chance - the more the merrier
22:30:56kugelah I see, it's functionality for you to go in two directions for 1 option
22:31:21rasherWho's responsible for the menu in the forums? The theme site should be added..
22:31:22Bagderrasher: thanks, looks fine now
22:31:24linuxstbrasher: Simply move it to the top of the page. Maybe with a direct link to ThemeGuidelines as well. Maybe also add the sentence "All themes on this website can be downloaded and installed via the integrated themes browser in Rockbox Utility." - with Rockbox Utility a link to RockboxUtility
22:31:29Lloreankugel: Users have rarely asked for a fourth option, so it's clearly not a hot desire. Meanwhile having two directions with one-option in the middle decreases the amount of surprise, means the options number is the same cross-target, and allows longer options to be used.
22:31:49LloreanA decent list of benefits considering almost nobody even requests a fourth option, while people have often exclaimed surprise the middle isn't bidirectional
22:32:24DarkSpectrumspeeking of i want to make some more themes but am seriously lacking inspiration, any ideas?
22:32:47fmlpixelma: I'll change the note then to just "it must be a BMP"
22:33:14Bagderrasher: nice job on the themes site, good to see it in public!
22:33:21kugelLlorean: they probably only exclaimed it because the up/down one changed the 1 option anyway, just not bidirectional
22:33:26rasherlinuxstb: will do
22:33:50soaprasher: On the idea of having WPS authors _only_ (?) upload themes...
22:33:52Lloreankugel: Exactly. So we meet the user's existing expectations of the screen, and gain functionality, and consistency with user expectations.
22:33:59kugelif up wouldn't have done anything in the past, nobody would have demanded biderctional, but rather a fourth item, I think
22:34:06linuxstbrasher: Thanks. And what Bagder said goes from me - sorry if I'm coming across as being negative....
22:34:20Lloreankugel: People try to press up to change the value, not just randomly.
22:34:29soapSo I take a theme from the Gallery (which is supposedly permissively licensed) and modify one tiny thing. I then "release" it unto the new theme site...
22:34:37LloreanThey wouldn't even find it's not bidirectional if they didn't *try* to use it that way, on most targets
22:34:45LloreanOnly on a small selection would "Up" be the button you might think exits.
22:34:58rasherlinuxstb: not at all - rasher.dk/">http://home.rasher.dk/ look okay?
22:34:58kugelwhatever, the current situation is bad, imo. It needs at least be clearer that up does something
22:35:10soapI think you can see where this is going, what is the reason for not wholesale moving themes? I think my little loophole points ot the folly of this rule.

22:35:31soaps/ot/out/
22:35:33linuxstbsoap: IMO, the reason is to get a clear audit trail of the history of themes.
22:35:35kugelbut I don't want to step into the quickscreen business again, actually. It's too controversial imo, for little changes afterall
22:35:37fmlLlorean: I'd agree with you except one thing: IMO, it INcreases the amount of surprise rather than DEcreases it. At a first glance at least. After you've pressed the buttons a couple of times you understand how they work
22:35:46linuxstbi.e. if the original copyright holder is the first to upload it, then all is clear.
22:35:59kugelI'm saying that *I* want a fourth item. the patch is there. do what you want
22:36:36soaplinuxstb: does that mean that I must only submit themes which are either: A-made fresh of whole cloth or B-derivitive works of themes already found on the new theme site?

22:37:05soapor C-Ones which I can _prove_ meet the expectation of the attached license?
22:37:09Lloreanfml: And increasing surprise is okay if it's pleasant surprise.
22:37:09linuxstbsoap: No, I wouldn't say that you _can't_ upload other peoples' themes, just that it would be nicer if the original author did it.
22:37:34linuxstbsoap: i.e. wait a bit and see what happens...
22:37:43Lloreanfml: And I disagree that it increases. People are surprised that it *doesn't* do what I've suggested it should do regularly. If it starts doing it, we will be meeting expectations. This *decreases* surprise.
22:37:45kugelLlorean: err...
22:37:46rasherI think at some point "we" should move the last properly licensed themes over from the WpsGalleries. But it'd be nicer to have the authors do it
22:38:07Lloreankugel: "err..." contains no meaningful content. I cannot read your mind.
22:38:10rasherWhich reminds me that we should modify the wpsgallery pages
22:38:14linuxstbrasher: Exactly. Maybe prior to 3.3 would be a good cut-off to close the wiki galleries.
22:38:16rasherBut I'm not quite sure in which way
22:38:29soap;) Ok - I fully understand the desire to have a documented audit trail. I think that is a great thing. It is something I have spent a lot of time thinking about - and while it is a worthy goal I never did come up with a way to make it _enforceable_.
22:38:42kugelLlorean: "And increasing surprise is okay if it's pleasant surprise." - I disagree. We're talking about unexpected behavior here
22:38:46Lloreanlinuxstb, rasher: Obviously we should simply break WPS compatibility, and retire all the wiki pages at that time since they all need updates anyway.

22:48:39kugelit needs an indication no matter of the bidirectional-ness
22:49:59fmlLlorean: the drawback of the "bidirectional" up/down buttons is that users (me at least) would then expect the same from the left/right buttons. And try it. And erroneously change wrong options.

22:53:06rasherNot a fan of it :\
22:53:25Lloreanfml: So you can't see that there are options on both the left and right?

22:53:55 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
22:54:03LloreanIt sounds horribly unrealistic to me. "Oh, there are options on left and right and down. Down works on down and up. Surely the left option works on both left and right, and the right option also works on both left and right."
22:54:05LloreanWho thinks like that?
22:55:03rasherlinuxstb: that should work, yes.
22:55:14fmlLlorean: I can see. But even though I know how it works I've been in a situation that I wanted to change the "left" option back with the right button. So maybe the problem is not even the up/down but left/right: that THEY are not "bidirectional"
22:55:49kugelLlorean: we could also have it like this: make it possible to (I actually think it is possible already) to map the same option to multple keys
22:56:17Lloreankugel: both keys would still go "forward" through the option.
22:56:19kugelthat would make 4 items possible, as well as a bidirectional two way changing for 1 long setting
22:56:28linuxstbBagder: Have you had a chance to do anything about getting access to the apache logs from the download servers?
22:56:46kugelLlorean: I mean, with bidirectionality
22:56:53Bagderno, but I've been reminded of it with all this release stuff going on!
22:57:11Lloreankugel: You'd have to have a lot of custom cases in. Which one is "forward" and "backward" when an option is on right and down?
22:57:24 Quit MT ("ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.7/2009021910]")
22:57:29kugelthe default would be having a single option for up/down to show that possiblity
22:57:58kugelLlorean: just use the existing mechanism for the bidirectionality?
22:58:13LloreanWhat existing mechanism?
22:58:27LloreanBoth "down" and "right" presses go to "next item in the settings list"
22:58:34LloreanFor the option on those buttons.
22:58:38rasherkugel: rasher.dk/">http://home.rasher.dk/ ?
22:58:55kugelup/down has bidirectional, shall I repeat it once more?
22:59:28kugelrasher: what changed?
22:59:35rasherkugel: the table!
22:59:38Lloreankugel: You're missing my point entirely.
22:59:47kugelrasher: uhm, wait
22:59:49Lloreankugel: I know up/down is bidirectional.
23:00
23:00:10kugelrasher: not for me, tried reloading
23:00:10Lloreankugel: But what if someone puts the same option on DOWN and RIGHT. Neither of those is opposite another.
23:00:17kugeleither a cache issue, or a different bug
23:00:18DarkSpectrumrasher: i think it looks better ;P
23:00:22LloreanDo you attempt to make it bidirectional, or surprise them by simply being duplicates?

23:01:09rasherBut that's because I labelled the targets consistently and the main site does not
23:01:22kugeldown and right go in the "positive" direction, which is whatever in settings_list.c is used
23:01:31fmlkugel: I'm with Llorean here. Up down change _the same_ one option. They are not just (ba accident or not) assigned the same option. Brr... I hope it's clear what I wanted to say
23:01:32kugelleft and up in the other one
23:01:33Lloreankugel: So up and left *always* go negative?
23:01:44Lloreankugel: That means single settings would behave differently depending on which button they're assigned.
23:02:01kugelindeed, I don't the anything wrong with it
23:02:02LloreanThis is even worse, in my opinion.

23:02:19kugelonly if you regulary swap the options
23:02:25LloreanNobody will expect that behaviour, and people who've learned the existing quickscreen will find it very problematic to use for a while.
23:02:37kugelwho would do that? That would mean getting used to his/her own customized quickscreen again and again
23:03:42Lloreankugel: So you basically propose to break the existing left function for everybody who's been used to the quickscreen for possibly half a decade now?
23:03:46rasherlinuxstb: yeah. So, do you think I should s/Apple // to fit in with the main site?

23:04:11kugelLlorean: yes, i surely want to *break*
23:04:25kugelseriously. I have no fun anymore. Your quickscreen is perfect. I'm out
23:05:06linuxstbrasher: Yes, I think all names should be identical. So no Fxx/Xxx/Sxx either. And the main download pages don't follow the Ipod convention...

23:05:11fmlLlorean: he-he, letting the left and up buttons go "back" through the list might be not a bad idea at all since it's sort of intuitive. But it would change the current functionality. Hmmm...
23:05:15kugelI'm just trying to find a compromise. but for you I'm still breaking anything
23:05:21LloreanOne option would simply be to allow "unsetting" quickscreen options somehow. The ability to remove top/left/right/bottom, and if one is removed, the opposite one becomes bidirectional.
23:05:27scorcheBagder: done
23:05:42Bagdergreat!
23:05:51LloreanThen you could have four, three, or two with the functionality you want.
23:05:53kugelfml: yea, improve functionality is bad
23:05:53 Quit perrikwp (Client Quit)
23:06:17Lloreankugel: It doesn't improve *anything* for people used to the old quickscreen. It makes it harder to use since they need to develop new habits.
23:06:26kugelit doesn't???
23:06:33LloreanFor people used to the old quickscreen.
23:06:37pixelmaI can imagine that the origanal way to navigate the quick screen was less confusing even with the same method of cycling through the options
23:06:42kugelit gives a fourth item. or bidirectionality for left/right too
23:06:49kugelthat's a good deal extra functionality
23:06:57Lloreankugel: For people who don't want to use the old one, yes. It breaks things for people who DO though
23:07:25Lloreankugel: Why not comment on my alternative suggestion which adds all the functionality YOU want, plus doesn't break things for others, rather than continuing to defend one that has negative bits?
23:07:35kugeljust because the left may change the direction you toggle through the items makes it a NODO?
23:07:41LloreanI didn't say it's a NODO
23:07:44LloreanAnd you know it
23:07:46kugelpeople get used to it. and love the extras
23:07:48LloreanI just said it's a bad side effect
23:07:48fmlThe possibility to throw one of the right/left options and get bidirectionality instead would be good
23:07:55Lloreankugel: Seriously, what's wrong with my idea?
23:08:06LloreanWhy's yours better than mine, at this point?
23:08:19Lloreanfml: That's what I suggested, yes.
23:08:55Lloreankugel: I'm kinda thinking you're arguing for the sake or arguing, rather than actually caring about the actual features you want.
23:09:02fmlLlorean: yes. Then we could have four options, and the current situation would be just a special case (with one of the up/down options thrown away)
23:09:15kugelLlorean: that sounds good too
23:09:40Lloreanfml: Exactly. The current screen works as it always did, and people have even more flexibility in how they use it. For example, I know some people would just prefer a bidirectional Bass and Treble as their two options.
23:09:45LloreanThat's oft requested.
23:09:48fmlSo kugel could have the four options and I'd rather have just two :-)
23:09:56kugela good deal more complicated to implement though, I think. I don't really it's that hard to get used to swapped directions for the left button only
23:10:15Lloreankugel: More complicated to implement, but _doesn't remove the existing behaviour_
23:10:18LloreanThat's pretty important.
23:10:19 Part pyro_maniac
23:10:31fml kugel: I like the last proposol of Llorean much better
23:10:56kugelI can live with it very well too
23:10:57fmlAnd I don't tnink it will be much more complicated to implement
23:11:13kugelbut I have no idea how to implement, actually
23:11:56fmlkugel: that's another question. But the idea is first, then the implementation.
23:13:06fmlYes, I definitely like the idea. I might even give it a try when I'll have time.
23:13:12*gevaerts reads Llorean's idea and screams configurable buttons
23:13:20Bagderrasher: I'd like to propose an "upload" link on the page where you browse themes for a particular target as well
23:13:27kugelbtw, I find it still frustrating and inconsistent that power leaves the quickscreen on the e200
23:13:36Bagderposssibly with that target pre-selected
23:13:59Lloreangevaerts: It's already a configurable screen. All we'd be doing is adding the option to actually *remove* instead of simply *replace*

23:18:50Lloreangevaerts: I suppose, but you could only add an item to "up" right now, the existing three directions are already used.
23:19:13LloreanI think it's reasonable that someone can infer adding an item to the up button removes the ability of the up button to cycle the other direction for the down option

23:20:54kugelthat would require changing the direction on disk I think
23:21:07LloreanIf you add a fourth, then your "down" option would become unidirectional and your new up option also would be

23:22:07gevaertsLlorean: yes
23:22:12LloreanEr, reverse all directions in that, but yeah.
23:22:42Lloreangevaerts: That's *only* a problem if they remove "right" or if they add Up *and* remove down.
23:23:07LloreanMaybe we should only add the option to remove left and remove / add up
23:23:08*kugel can think of a lot of complications with Llorean proposal
23:23:15LloreanThis gives the full functionality without ever having directions switch
23:23:44kugelfixed directions would require getting used to it once (and I expect a small learning courve) and an easy implementation without nasty complications
23:23:58gevaertsI think "left" should only ever touch the "left" option, and the same for the other three buttons
23:24:24Lloreangevaerts: There's not a top button. And for many options, bidirectional is nearly necessary to use them effectively (bass/treble being core examples)
23:24:31kugeloh, and getting used to it even only applies to the left button
23:24:36LloreanOnce you've added too much, it's too late to go back without a full scycle.
23:24:42gevaertsThat would mean getting used to the "up" option if/when it gets added, bit after that you're done. No changes anymore, whatever you do
23:24:44kugelwhere the default is a bool now, where the direction doesn't even matter
23:25:19Lloreangevaerts: Adding the up option means removing the only existing bidirectional option people have access to.
23:25:31Lloreangevaerts: Up/down is already bidirectional.
23:25:57Lloreangevaerts: Adding up will be, for people who don't have Four needed quickscreen options, a loss of functionality.
23:26:20 Quit bmbl ("Woah!")
23:26:28LloreanAnd adding a duplicate item to simulate a bidirectional setup doesn't seem like it should be "easier" for people to understand, than removing one.
23:26:55Lloreanhonestly, under the hood they could be nearly identical. If you "remove" an item, it just shows the duplicate in the other slot.
23:26:58kugeladding seems more intuitive to me
23:27:17Lloreankugel: Neither is intuitive.
23:27:34LloreanOtherwise people would already be asking "why can't I do it, it seems like it should work"
23:27:35*gevaerts thinks that the current four-direction quickscreen is not suited for many-values options like bass/treble/volume, regardless of the tweaking you do
23:27:46Lloreangevaerts: It's suitable for having *one* of those options in it.
23:27:48rasherBagder: would it be okay if that link is at the bottom? It's not really the primary way of getting to the upload form
23:27:56Bagdersure
23:28:06Lloreangevaerts: And two if we allow making them both bidirectional, you just have to remembe "bass is up/down, treble is left/right"
23:28:11LloreanNot difficult
23:28:16gevaertsLlorean: yes. By accident
23:28:44gevaertsLlorean: a fixed two-bidirectional-controls screen is fine, a variable one isn't IMHO
23:29:15Lloreangevaerts: Why is variable bad?
23:29:57gevaertsBecause people get used to "right means more bass", then add setting to the right, and it changes meaning
23:30:15Lloreangevaerts: If people change the setting on the right themselves it will always change meaning...
23:30:21gevaertsThey *don't* touch the bass setting *at all*, and it now works differently
23:30:25LloreanBy that argument the quickscreen should lose its existing configurability

23:31:55TBOL3If I might be allowed to throw in my $.2, I would think that you should either have two bidirectional settings (up/down) (right/left), or have four options, one for each direction. Also, if it's possible, select should get you out of the screen.

23:32:04Lloreangevaerts: With my proposal they don't, but it's still the result of an explicit user action. And for left/right they had to make it bidirectional first by user action. Surely it's not a stretch to expect them to understand that undoing that change will reverse the behaviour.

23:32:28webguest38hi

23:32:45Lloreangevaerts: The only way to avoid loss of functionality, and no added user confusion, then is to not change the screen.

23:38:23gevaertsLlorean: if you want two options in a direction, they can't be things like volume or bass that have a long list of values
23:38:24Lloreankugel: Yours simply means people need to relearn existing behaviour because their existing quickscreen no longer works how it's supposed to. Through no action of their own. At least in the cases gevaerts is objecting to it's changing because they changed something, even if they don't realize it
23:39:05Lloreankugel: It's changing an existing keymap, basically. It's something that shouldn't be done without _very_ good reason.
