I believe it's possible for even complex software to be usable without a manual, complex features of the software can be explored and discovered as a user wishes but they don't get in the way until a user is looking for them or is interested.

They might not realise that holding it down is going to produce a distinct action to the short press. It could be quite confusing for the user to suddenly find the system reacting in a different way to what they expect without knowing they had interacted with it differently. Maybe if the context menu was labelled as the long press menu it might make sense. > If it's not too hard to guess most of them, what's the problem? It's still hard enough with a few irregularity (see playlists). Received on 2009-11-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
