This is a first throw of the core engine for user assignable keys. Note that it is only the engine. There's no text file parsing yet. Neither there is a pearl script or something equivalent that generates source files with the available commands. That's the two things that have to be done. After that we 'only' have to adapt the rest of the code where button handling still is hard coded and make a working factory preset for all that. To demonstrate the functionality I chose a new little tool I always wanted to have: a gui for splitting mp3 files. No, we can't split files yet since we don't have file writing and the split editor still has its problems. So just see it as an example here. How it works: While a song is playing select the menu entry 'split editor' from the main menu (It doesn't belong there and won't be there in any official rockbox version). play button: hit it to pause / resume playback play button: hold it to reset pitch left / right button: move around the split point cursor up / down : zoom the osci on + right: 150% pitch on + left: 50% pitch F2: toggle between three playback modes: - loop from the split point - loop to the split point - loop over the split point off: quit the split editor All these key bindings are done just as if the were read from a file. I am convinced that this prooves that the mechanism is flexible and once we have the real file format and the real mechanism for generating the command lists you will notice that they are fairly simple to use for both, the programmers and the consumers. With these key schemes two other things are gained: Now it's incredibly simple to make user definable menus and we can define macros that execute servaral commands with only one button click. That could be used eg for one-touch equalizer presets, etc So don't you cry "Show me the code"! Phil P.S.: apply the patch, the split_editor.* belongs in apps/recorder, all other files go to apps Received on 2002-10-02 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
