Re: Option rework (was: Re: my next crazy idea... rework the menu system)

My opinion is that Rockbox menus are just plain Great!Lots of options for serious users. Plain and simple menus that allow the user to modify his DAP like no-other player. Of course a little discussion to where each menu should be or optimisation of the menu system would be welcome. All the users s

Re: Option rework (was: Re: my next crazy idea... rework the menu system)

I think that a simple/advanced scheme does not solve any problems at all.First: The problem of having a hard time finding options. In the simple scheme they will theoretically be just as hard to find, they're just harder to find in a shorter list on the page they're on. Second: You don't know they

Re: Option rework (was: Re: my next crazy idea... rework the menu system)

This is a bad option.. all settings should be available on the DAP. A nicer option is maybe having 2 sets of options, "simple" and "advanced" where the only difference is some options are not visible in "simple" mode. I like the idea! The reason I dislike (despise is probably closer, in fact) t

Re: Option rework (was: Re: my next crazy idea... rework the menu system)

No, all options would be in the main menu.But the context menu would have all applicable options to the current context. So, while playing music, you can go to the context menu for what would be a "Simple" menu, while the main menu is the "Advanced" on still containing all possible options on the p
