00:16:59JdGordonsoap: (just saw your message from 3 hours ago)... apparently no we dont trust all devs here because only a select few actually have ops in here
00:17:17JdGordonso we can suggest all we want, but if someone is difficult we can do sfa about it
00:17:39soapthat's a nice one, obo.
00:17:55soapJdGordon: I thought the idea was to grant op by cloak?
00:17:59soapscorche?
00:19:27JdGordonthe usual answer given is that we need a consistant response which from everyone who has spoken about that has called that a BS excuse
00:20:13JdGordonPaulJam: bah, ok, yeah I see what your talking about... that needs to be fixed :(

00:22:30JdGordonthe answer from scorche (maybe others) the last few times it was brought up is that if everyone has ops then there is no consistancy when it comes to kick/ban/devoiceing of trouble users...
00:22:40JdGordonthe fact is there isnt any now anyway

00:23:37JdGordonI dont care so much now, but when I was in .au it really pissed me off that I would be the only dev around when morons come in and can't do anything about it

00:25:40JdGordonPaulJam: hmm... its apparently not as easy as I thought to reproduce...
00:29:21JdGordonah crap... it seems there is a buffering problem with 9795.. this patch is going to get too huge to not break stuff
00:30:06*JdGordon wants to add some debug tags to the wps
00:32:52UbuntuxerI need your help the improvements for my patch FS #10099: I have tried to implement your suggestions, but I can't find the fault in the struct.
00:33:16UbuntuxerPlease have a look. http://rafb.net/p/b1qIg059.html, http://rafb.net/p/KU5c0j63.html
00:34:42JdGordonUbuntuxer: I'm not sure what you are trying to improve there... but i have some general comments...
00:34:51JdGordoncan you modify an existing plugin to use your lib?
00:35:18JdGordonand I would like to see display_text() accept a viewport so plugins could use this but not lose the entire screen
00:35:18Ubuntuxeryes I have think of it, Which?
00:35:26JdGordonany
00:37:15UbuntuxerI will try to implement the viewport idea.
00:37:45JdGordoncan someone with SVN do a quick test for me? (you'll need a wps which has the disk activity icon of some sort)... start playback and wait 5s or so, then skip to the next track... doe shte activity stop? if it does have a look in the buffering debug screen and does it look like its way under where you'd exptect it?
00:38:07JdGordonUbuntuxer: accpeitng a viewport also means using the colours specifed in it already... black on white isnt always wanted
00:40:10 Quit cspotcode ("Leaving.")
00:40:16Ubuntuxerok, is there a need to set it back to previous if it exits
00:40:28 Join cspotcode [0] (n=bradla@starmie-25.dynamic.rpi.edu)
00:40:39JdGordonnot if you use the supplied viewport
00:40:51pixelmaJdGordon: I'll test
00:40:54JdGordonit is then up to the caller to set the viewport back
00:40:57JdGordonpixelma: thanks
00:42:51pixelmaon my c200: "disk" activity stops and buffering doesn't show any weirdness on first glance - what numbers should I check exactly?
00:44:44JdGordonif its happening.. the bottom 3 bars should be no where near full
00:45:09pixelmahmm, on second try "alloc" and "usefl" is lower than expected and buffering also stopped very quickly after the skip
00:45:41JdGordonsweet... ok thanks, that means its no a problem with the patch
00:45:44pixelmathe c200 buffering thread screen has no bottom bars due to lack of space
00:46:19 Part domonoky
00:46:42JdGordonthis means that track skipping stops buffering, which there could be an argument for keeping
00:48:46pixelmaonly happened once so far though (out of 4..5 tries)
00:49:19JdGordonflash targets might be hard to reproduce
00:49:29JdGordonalso it doesnt really matter for them anyway

01:14:50ashici have a v-bop mp4 player does rockbox supports it
01:15:18PaulJamthe frontpage lists all supported targets.
01:15:23ashicor how can i use rockbox for my mp4 player
01:15:44Taylorashic: that mp3 is actually not supported
01:15:58ashicthnx taylor
01:16:25ashicis there any way i can use it
01:16:30Taylorwell...
01:16:41ashicso i can use it as a wifi phone
01:16:50Taylorfirst...
01:16:57Taylorhere is the link to the builds page: http://build.rockbox.org/
01:17:12TaylorThere, you will find all supported mp3/mp4 players
01:17:57TaylorAnd no, I do not believe you can port rockbox to it. You may want to google aorund for a port. (who knows, it might have been done). Or, if you know what you are doing, you can do it yourself :)
01:18:08krazykit`ashic, the short answer is no. the long answer is "only if you do the very hard work of writing the port yourself"

01:19:04Taylorbasically, yes.
01:19:08ashictaylr krazykit
01:19:14ashici have one doubt
01:19:23ashicis rockbox like ipod linux
01:19:27krazykit`no
01:19:32scorchein what way?
01:20:38TaylorGUI wise, no. I guess one way it is similar is it enables you to break away from the usual strict Apple OS, and load your own apps.
01:20:52scorchea lot more than just GUI...
01:21:15ashicwhen we install it does it erase the firmware of the player , or add it in the grub
01:21:34scorchethere is no "grub", and it is dual-boot by default
01:21:50TaylorIpodLinux is more POSIX based (sort of for techies) RockBox is essentially a music OS, but it is much more than the Apple firmware.
01:22:05scorche"more"?
01:22:07JdGordonTaylor: time to stop talking....
01:22:16TaylorThere is no 'grub'
01:22:22ashicthnx taylor
01:22:25scorchei just said that...
01:22:36Taylori know... i just typed it..
01:22:41ashicgr8
01:22:41scorchewhy?
01:23:13ashicif i want to use my mp4 playr with rockbox i have to write the port

01:24:54yashHi all,
01:24:57ashictaylr the mp3 plyrs suportd by rockbox, can we use it as a wifi phone
01:25:53scorcheashic: is there something wrong with your vowel buttons?
01:26:22TaylorUse it as a wifi phone? Not unless your mp3 player comes with a wifi chip :)
01:26:35scorchewe require people to speak "real english" here due to the large number of people relying on machine translation here...
01:26:51scorcheTaylor: and not just that...a wifi stack would need to be written, drivers, etc
01:26:54ashicfor u wht i am typing is spanish
01:26:54krazykit`ashic, none of the current rockbox targets have wifi, so there are no drivers, no network stack, and no VOIP software, so you'd have to write that in addition to the basics of the port
01:27:33scorcheashic: it would mean typing "u" as "you", "wht" as "what", etc
01:27:54ashicsorry scorche
01:28:04ashici will type fully
01:28:09scorchethanks
01:28:15gkahlaOn the wiki, the SamsungAMS port is on the Status page as "Sansa V2 Family", right?
01:29:23scorchegkahla: yes...since sansa implemented more devices, we changed the terminology to "sansa AMS" due to it not being as ambiguous...it may not have been changed over in all pages
01:30:05saratogathe front page really needs to be fixed to imply that they're the same thing

01:33:14gkahlarockbox is a replacement OS for mp3 players
01:33:40ashicbut its not a linux os
01:33:50ashiclinux flavour
01:34:13TaylorNo. If you want an linux-like firmware, go with IpodLinux
01:34:18gkahladoes anyone have a preference about music management software with a rockbox player? Something that would work on Debian or Ubuntu?
01:35:10gkahlaiPods have iTunes, what is the best app to take the role Rockbox's of iTunes?
01:35:56TaylorRhythmbox, Hippo, GtKpod, are all some examples of music managent softwares to use with RockBox

01:45:35yashI'm posting the exact wordings first.
01:45:43 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
01:45:47yashWrite a stubbed codec that so that when a file with the right extension is clicked in Rockbox or the right file is buffered, the .codec spoofs some information to the WPS to tell you the Title is "Codec works", waits 10 seconds elapsing time, then goes on to the next track
01:46:15yashI would like to explain what it is about and
01:46:26yashplz comment if you have something in mind.
01:47:43yashA dummy codec runs in the background. Whenever a track begins playing it asks the WPS screen to say "codec works", waits for 10 seconds and asks the WPS to clear the screen of "codec works".
01:48:20yashOnce this track is played completely and another track begins, it does the same thing.
01:49:22yashI would like to know if someone has comments on this.

02:16:56JdGordonno, instead of pritinging "codec works" put that string into the tag info (mp3entry struct) for the "track"

02:22:35Unhelpfulmany types, and therefore extensions, are supported by rockbox. i don't think the task is about trying to replace all rockbox codecs, but just to give you experience writing a codec for rockbox. a new codec should use a new extension - a made-up one since it's not actually playing audio.
02:22:47yashJdGordon: sorry, do you think putting it to the "tag info" will help it display as a title.

03:26:51dreamlayersUnhelpful: Thanks for the script.
03:27:33dreamlayersMap files don't list static symbols, so the ability look at object files is a good thing.
03:27:49JdGordonUnhelpful: maybe commit it anyway so others can play with it untill you fiinsh it?
03:28:54Unhelpfuldreamlayers: if the static symbol ends up getting inlined, it still disappears... although its callers show the delta, then.
03:30:16Unhelpfulany ideas about the funny-symbols-with-numbers issue?
03:33:42Unhelpfuli assume the ones like "_lines.5436" or "_message.3953" are literal constants of some (large) type, but there are also such as "_plugins_menu_items__.4048"
03:34:22Unhelpfulthese are reported as unique in each object, because of the number, so you can really only scan the output to see if any of those have different sizes

09:06:14DarkSpectrumsounds good to me
09:06:45JdGordonhttp://pastebin.com/m26867a3b is the fix, if anyone wants to commit it today/tonight...
09:06:58Zagora quick fix with a comment shows you know of and is working on the issue. otherwise we are likely to get more bug reports.
09:06:58JdGordonI tihnk i'll wait and see if anyone complains
09:07:39DarkSpectrumcrap i dont have a build environ on this puter, have to wait till i get home to patch/compile
09:08:01JdGordonI'm more worried that If I commit that it will be forgotten about
09:08:17JdGordonits nothing major which is hwy im not too concerned
09:08:19DarkSpectrumJdGordon: could you look at one more bug for me please?
09:08:32JdGordondepends
09:09:06DarkSpectrumon the sansa E200 if you chose the setting "backlight on hold: normal" the backlight will not come on at all with any button press when the lock is enabled
09:09:37DarkSpectrumit used to work a in 3.0 but has been broke ever since 3.1
09:10:52DarkSpectrumoh it also happens on the Sansa C200 as well
09:11:39JdGordonits not something my commit broke so im not worried about it... (its midnight here and im about to head off)

16:06:49jaykaysome more questions regarding the manual
16:07:23jaykaymay i remove "Firewire detection is not supported in Rockbox at the moment. Please use USB only."?
16:07:33jaykayfor four ipods
16:07:48jaykayand may i remove \warn{Never extract files to your \dap{} while it is in recovery mode.}
16:07:51jaykayfor the e200
16:08:03gevaertsjaykay: why would you remove that?
16:08:06jaykayboth in "before starting"
16:08:23jaykaygevaerts: amiconn said the first one is wrong
16:08:41gevaertsI mean the sansa one
16:08:50jaykayand the second one is in the wrong place there, in "before starting" nothing is said about the recovery mode"
16:09:22gevaertsmaybe move it then. It must be somewhere though
16:09:31jaykayimo the only right place for that is somewhere in unbricking, and this is in the wiki
16:10:33jaykaygevaerts: the manual says nothing about the recovery mode... so its wrong in the manual
16:10:52gevaertsI'm not sure. I'd leave it there
16:11:36gevaertsPeople have done strange things in recovery mode. Avoiding that is good
16:12:44jaykaythen its like saying in the description of the plugin fire "do not attempt to burn your player", because some people did strange things :)
16:13:22gevaertsno. As far as I know people have never done that in a rockbox context
16:13:41gevaertswhile people have "installed" rockbox on the recovery drive
16:15:12jaykaythe manual don't tell them to do that... it even doesn't describe how to enter the recovery mode
16:15:59jaykaywhat happens when something is copied to the recovery drive?
16:16:14gevaertsyoy need manufacturer mode
16:16:36jaykay?
16:16:44gevaertsand that may mean access to a linux machine (e200tool doesn't work well on windows)
16:17:07jaykayso it's some kind of bricked then?
16:17:16gevaertsfor the casual user, yes
16:17:30 Part wincent ("Kopete 0.12.7 : http://kopete.kde.org")
16:17:42Unhelpfulrecovering from "needs recovery mode" is much easier than from "needs manufacturer mode"
16:21:50jaykayi'll remove it.. when there are too much complaints about it i'll place it there again
16:23:00gevaertsplease don't

16:25:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
16:26:47jaykaypixelma: yes, but i'm only doing minor changes... like replacing rockbox with Rockbox or "saving" some lines by utilising the 80 char-limit
16:27:17Lss%pf < what this suppose to show up as? i added it but it doesnt show up
16:28:19pixelmaLss: you don't have an Archos Player, I think?
16:28:45Lssnope ipod
16:29:19pixelmathe %pf is only used on the Archos Player
16:29:38Lsshttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Playlist_Song_Info < i see i think someone accidentally deleted Archos
16:29:57Unhelpfulhrm, pictureflow manual entry needs updated *anyway*, it works during playback now. and i would like to have keymaps in the manual matching with my keymaps patch before it's committed :)
16:29:57*linuxstb fixed
16:32:19pixelmaUnhelpful: is that a call for help?
16:33:07Unhelpfulpixelma: i'm not sure yet. i'm looking at it, this might be possible to tackle without having to properly learn tex in general :)
16:35:27Unhelpfulthe patch turns the tracklist into a pretty much standard list view, though... so i'm not really sure if it's best to document buttons for the album view, and just say that the track list is a normal list aside from the quit button, or if i ought to have a complete table of buttons and their actions for each view.
16:41:59jaykayanother question... in the ipod/sansa_install.tex-files... should there always besomething like "connect the dap to the computer, wait for it to show up somewhere"?
16:42:00jaykayand is the "your dap will automatically reconnect..." in "installation on mac os x in ipod_install.tex necessary?
16:43:58linuxstbjaykay: Why do you think it's not necessary?
16:44:52jaykaybeacaause its not in the descriptions for windows and linux and nowhere in sansa_install.tex
16:45:14jaykay*because....
16:45:14linuxstbThat's because OS X and ipods are different.
16:45:30linuxstbAlthough I can't say for certain Sansas don't behave like that on OS X.
16:45:53jaykayok, fine... and i didn't say it's not necessary, i asked whether it is ;)

16:51:26jaykaypixelma: ok, i will try to keep it small... but its difficult to do a second part of work if the first part is rottening in the tracker, noone does want to commit it and everyone says "don't make this patch bigger"
16:51:55Unhelpfuli think i can figure this out. i'm still undecided as to whether the tracklist buttons need to be in the table at all... but maybe i should say what up/down/select/cancel are in that view, even if they're all "normal" buttons for that purpose?

16:55:06Unhelpfuloh, right, i do see at least one target that probably needs a fix in the keymap patch - i should probably use up/down to scroll the album list on H10, which doesn't seem to *have* any left/right directionals

17:44:36BigBambijaykay: I don't think the firewire thing should be a note, that's why I removed it
17:44:59BigBambijaykay: The fact that it now doesn't show up at all is unintentional and should be fixed
17:45:10BigBambiBut I think notes in general are overused, and I tried to reduce the number
17:45:29jaykayBigBambi: it shows up.... that was not the problem
17:45:34jaykaywhy is it a index?
17:46:04jaykayah... the question was whether its necessary at all
17:46:31BigBambiThis is for two reasons - 1) If there are two many notes they become pointless as they are no longer different, and 2) It doesn't look nice
17:47:04BigBambijaykay: Oh, I got from what you said that it didn't show at all (although I was opretty sure I checked this)
17:47:06BigBambijaykay: It is an index for possible future use
17:47:48jaykaywell i removed it anyway in my patch. i'll see whether this change is accepted or not :)
17:48:00BigBambijaykay: We don't yet have an index, but if we did then that sentence would be linked to by "Firewire" in the index which is useful as it isn't a table of contents item, but is something people might want to find
17:48:14BigBambijaykay: It won't be if it has anything to do with me
17:48:23BigBambijaykay: The index is there for a reason
17:48:44jaykayBigBambi: i removed the hwole sentence because amiconn said its wrong...
17:48:51jaykays/hwole/whole
17:48:52BigBambijaykay: Again, I don't see why you just delete or change things you don't understand - it gives me less confidence in your changes

18:03:54archivatorUnhelpful: as you yourself said, there are more important things to tackle than the coloring. I am open to ideas, though I think specifying a bitmap is taking it a bit far. How should the plugin handle dimensions other than the screen's?

20:33:37trisiakhi, my sansa e250 with 3.2rb freezed a moment ago, it just stopped playing, disabled backlight but lighted up the keyboard
20:33:48trisiaki reseted it by holding quit button for some time
20:34:04trisiaknow its teeling me that my battery is too low to operate, but in the OF it shows full battery
20:34:47trisiakI guess its hardware related, can it be rockbox fault?
20:35:29evilnicklighted up the keyboard?
20:35:38trisiakthe blue ring
20:36:09bertrikmaybe the battery is indeed low but perhaps it just takes the OF some time to show that
20:36:11trisiaki normally have this blue light disabled in the settings
20:36:21evilnickAh, okay. So when you turn it on now, you should get the bootloader screen, what exactly does it say? (You might need to do this a few times to get the entire message)
20:36:35trisiakBattery too low. System shutdown
20:36:49trisiakif i start with USB connected it just starts without problems
20:37:08trisiakit had like 80% of battery an hour ago
20:37:32trisiaknow its showing that its charging even after i disconnected it from PC
20:37:33evilnicktrisiak: I would probably let it charge for a few hours then.
20:37:46evilnickUnder the Original Firmware?
20:37:49trisiakno, rb
20:38:20pyro_maniacbluebrother: cool, it was a plessure
20:38:43trisiaki had this kind of freeze long time ago, but i thought that this was cause by filesystem errors
20:38:46evilnickWhat build are you using? (System−−>Rockbox Info)
20:38:54trisiak3.2 dled from the site
20:39:03trisiak3.2-090323
20:39:32evilnickAnd when you plug in USB, does the Sansa reboot to the OF?
20:39:44trisiaknope

20:41:46trisiakevilnick, it was stuck in the Charging state
20:41:57trisiakdidnt even detect that i plugged it of
20:42:19*gevaerts would check the filesystem
20:42:28evilnickAh, so a hardware reset ought to fix that (long, long, long press on Power, up to 30 seconds).

20:51:10trisiakyes, very recently, but those hangups (with black screen and keyboard backlight switched on) happened two weeks before the knock
20:51:29trisiaki forgot about that ;)
20:52:59evilnickHeh, so what did you do the last time(s) that this happened?
20:53:04trisiakhmm, it works now and shows ~70% of battery
20:53:13trisiaki holded that power button for some time
20:53:27trisiakafter that it happened one more time and never again
20:54:52evilnickOK, I had a similar sounding problem with my Sansa. After I'd dropped it maybe 3 feet, it instantly stopped responding and I couldn't get it to do anything other than switch on the wheel light.
20:54:55trisiaki assume that this black screen && keyboard backlight isnt some standard Kernel Panic procedure
20:55:24evilnickTo fix that, all I had to do was to open it up and re-seat the memory. It took perhaps 2 mins
20:55:50trisiaki have just opened it and removed the battery, after putting it back it works now

22:38:13kugelif it was called "help to prevent accidentally losing the position", then it shouldn't be allowed, but now it's just prevent track skipping
22:39:53fmlBeing able to jump to the start of the track is natural IMO too
22:40:58 Quit merbanan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
22:41:33Lloreankugel: Then why don't we skip to immediately before the end of the track?

22:41:50 Quit synergist (Remote closed the connection)
22:42:23kugelbecause that equals skipping the track most of the time.
22:42:39LloreanSkipping to the beginning of the track equals skipping to the end of the previous track.
22:42:51LloreanSo one could argue it's also "equal" to skipping out of the track, by your definition there.
22:43:01kugelprevent track skipping is to prevent accidental skips, hence they're unexpected, and hence it's probably impossible to skip back again just in time
22:43:27Lloreankugel: So prevent accidental skips to the beginning as well?
22:44:15LloreanIf the idea is that they can seek back to where they were, they can certainly do it if they accidentally skip to the end as well.
22:44:24 Join synergist [0] (i=christop@cant.be-arsed.co.uk)
22:45:25LloreanIf you just think it should work that way, say so. But right now you're basically making excuses rather than just sticking with the fact that in the end it's entirely just an opinion call.
22:47:06fmlLlorean: purely formally you may be right. But this somehow conradicts to my human intuition. Jumping to the start is OK since then you can listen to the same track whereas if you jum to the end you won't
22:48:48Lloreanfml: Not jumping to the beginning doesn't prevent you from listening to the same track.
22:51:14fmlLlorean: yes, but you can't listen to the entire track
22:51:23saratogagevaerts: pong
22:51:23LloreanWhy not?
22:51:40Lloreanfml: You can surely seek to the beginning still, just as you can seek to the end (which you're forced to do, if you wish to reach the end of the track)
22:51:55LloreanIt only places the same restriction on back-skipping as is placed on forward-skipping
22:52:59fmlLlorean: because you can't jump to the start. So you can't listen to the entire track by just hopping. Jumping to the end is another story because you'll play the rest "just so" (playback is made forward)
22:53:58Lloreanfml: If you're 30 minutes from the end, and skip length is 35 minutes, you can't get to or even relatively near the end without seeking.
22:54:10LloreanSo you'll play the rest "just so" if you're willing to wait quite a long time, sure.
22:54:19LloreanIf you can seek forward, surely you can also seek backward.
22:54:26LloreanSo why *not* prevent loss of position?
22:55:01kugelit's not what it's supposed to be
22:56:27fmlLlorean: not losing the position is a matter of chance. If you have it set to 30 min and you're nearly before and nearly after that point, the change in behaviour will be dramatic. I'd like to avoid that. Hrm... But then the same applies to forward...
22:56:29kugelask sdoyon why he made it like that. fact is, that time's moving forward, and never backwards. And going to the start isn't track skipping. You just cannot compare both directions really anyway
22:57:57fmlWhat about the following: if the elapsed time is < step, then PREV goes to the start. If the remaining time is < step, then NEXT jumps to the middle of the rest
22:58:14Lloreankugel: I disagree. When you "track skip" you skip the the point between songs.
22:58:25LloreanOtherwise, conceptually, it'd be impossible to ever go back multiple tracks.
22:58:53kugelI don't agree with that definition
22:59:27kugelwith prev/next you just jump to the beginning of the current/previous/next track, not to some mysterious point between
22:59:50LloreanThen why do you even call it "prev" instead of "earlier"?
23:00
23:00:04kugelwhat?
23:00:13LloreanPrevious. It means "not this one"
23:00:21LloreanThe one before.
23:00:43kugelYes, that seems about right
23:00:54 Quit bmbl ("Woah!")
23:00:56LloreanBasically, if you make "previous" skip to the beginning of the track on first press, but nothing on all further presses, you basically give it two different behaviours depending on how often you press it.
23:01:25Lloreankugel: Why do you call it "previous" if its job *isn't* skipping to a point previous to the current track?
23:01:42kugelI just refer to the button with prev
23:01:44LloreanOr, to go back to my original point: what _harm_ comes from not losing your place?
23:01:50kugelwhat it does depends on the elapsed time and settings
23:02:05LloreanYou've yet to even attempt to answer that question.
23:02:50LloreanPeople can still seek. People can still turn the option off to skip, just like they must if they wish to skip forward. It gives them the same full range of options available to them.
23:02:50kugelI told you. The feature is called prevent track skipping, not prevent losing the position
23:02:59Lloreankugel: That doesn't answer my question.
23:03:18LloreanAnd you know it. You're arguing that the name must not be changed?

23:03:27fmlLlorean, kugel: I'll leave now and think that one of the two patches should go in. I'm not 100% sure which one though. Or even the tird one with skipping to the middle of the rest in case of NEXT
23:03:29kugelAnd in my definition of track skipping, jumping to the beginning is not affected by prevent track skipping
23:03:38LloreanYou can as readily accomplish not track skipping by skipping to the point immediately before the end of the track, yet choose not to.

23:04:35Lloreankugel: Again I ask, and please just answer this time instead of talking about feature names - what harm comes from not losing their position, assuming it were named appropriately?
23:04:36kugelLlorean: wtf, you don't even listen to me, right?
23:05:10kugelnothing. and I stated before: if it was "prevent losing position", then it shouldn't be allowed. You probably missed that statement

23:12:15LloreanI think "if the point you're attempting to does not exist within the song, do not skip" makes perfect sense.

23:15:04LloreanThis is inconsistent.
23:15:38fmlLlorean: what if we'd halve the intervals in both cases?
23:16:02Lloreanfml: So you have geometrically decreasing skips as you approach the edges, much like seek works (speed slows down as you reach either end)?

23:17:41Lloreanfml: That'd need some small name changes ("maximum skip length" rather than "skip length" perhaps) but might be a good compromise.
23:17:53Lloreankugel: You're fine with it specifically because of what you think of previous meaning
23:17:59Lloreankugel: To you, it doesn't leave the track.
23:18:18Lloreankugel: To me, it's leaving and restarting the track, because it's obviously not skipping 3 minutes backward if there's only 2 minutes elapsed.
23:18:23henchmani put the wps.vim file in the \Vim\vim72\syntax folder, but when i open a wps with gvim, the syntax isn't highlighted
23:18:31 Quit Thundercloud (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:18:31Lloreankugel: So the problem is clearly a difference in definition.
23:18:39bluebrotherhenchman: :set syntax=wps
23:18:45fmlLlorean: what I like about it most is that it doesnt change behavior dramatically in an instance. Name it as you like, but I like it better than just doing nothing.
23:19:04bluebrotheror however the syntax is called. Lemme check
23:19:05Lloreanfml: It also vastly improves the ability to get near the end of the track.
23:19:24fmlThe drawback is that it's not reversible, i.e. if you press PREV and then NEXT you might get to a different point than you were at before
23:19:32Lloreanfml: In fact, it makes it a physical impossibility to skip outside the track, so long as you always round down. So it matches "track lock" nicely
23:20:20LloreanI don't think it needs to be reversible. Seek still operates, and it should be rare that you want to go back to exactly where you started from, since we're apparently saying the purpose isn't to prevent accidents.
23:20:23fmlLlorean: Achilles paradoxon! :-) But even with the mentioned drawback: I like it!
23:20:57henchman<bluebrother> how? i can't find wps, when i open the syntax tab in the menu...
23:21:00fmlLlorean: so should we go for the patch #3?
23:21:25bluebrotherhenchman: you're familiar with vim?
23:21:48henchmannot enough i guess.
23:21:50bluebrotheropen a wps file, go to command mode and set the syntax to wps. I.e. type <ESC>:set syntax=wps
23:22:22Lloreanfml: It might be best to discuss this on -devel. There are some strange behaviours with #3 as you described it at least (if you have 3:01 left with skip length 3 min, you end up at :01, if you have 2:59 left you end up ~1:30)
23:22:27bluebrotherworks fine for me (and is really nice to know about −− didn't knew there was a syntax file around)
23:22:41Lloreanfml: The majority may just prefer one of the two "simple" answers
23:23:04kugelLlorean: how's this strange? It's clear that the skip length which the user has set is a treshhold
23:23:31fmlLlorean: yes, that's also a change in behaviour, but less big. Ah. it's getting late here, I have to go. Bye!
23:23:37 Quit fml ("CGI:IRC 0.5.9 (2006/06/06)")
23:23:51kugelhe set actively, and intentionally. There's nothing strange with it (in fact, I like this proposal)
23:24:14Lloreankugel: In my mind it'd actually be ideal to start shrinking the skip length at the point where you're 2*step out, so the progression is always smooth. The decreases would be minimal at first, and increasing as you get further in.
23:24:33LloreanBut again, that's my mind, making it similar to how seek works (again, I see the feature as a coarse seek)
23:24:59LloreanThat way, from one second to the next you don't dramatically change where you'll land.
23:25:24LloreanAnd you'll never land earlier by waiting a longer time before pressing "back"
23:25:43kugelLlorean: could be done too
23:26:16kugelhow long would it skip then at 5:59?
23:26:22kugel(if skip length is 3)
23:26:30Llorean2:59 and a half, or so.
23:27:12LloreanBasically, each second under 2*step reduces it by a half second.
23:28:10kugelit should never skip more than the skip length imo
23:28:17LloreanIt never would.

23:28:25LloreanThe skip length can only be reduced, not increased.

23:29:14henchmanthanks for the help anyway
23:29:16evilnickLlorean: Wouldn't that be more annoying for the user who understands the function and really wants to skip/seek 3mins for each press of the button?
23:29:37evilnicki.e. to have Rockbox try to assume what the user is trying to do?
23:30:31Lloreanevilnick: If it's documented, then they ought to know it won't skip the full distance near track ends.

23:32:51 Join Thundercloud [0] (i=thunderc@persistence.flat.devzero.co.uk)
23:36:04evilnickSo is track lock is a different setting to the large-grain steps?

23:37:27LloreanYes
23:39:39evilnickSo my expert user would not use track lock in that situation. Right.
