Load On/Off Menu Item #30

Open nealzip opened 9 years ago

nealzip commented 9 years ago

One suggestion would be to add a Load On/Off menu Item.

dl2sba commented 9 years ago

What do you think about a "short click" to toggle the load status and a "long click" to enter setup mode?

Arachnid commented 9 years ago

@dl2sba I think I would prefer it the other way around, because it's a bigger usability issue if people can't figure out how to enter the menu.

There's also an argument for making the long-click option be shutdown, instead of enable/disable.

dl2sba commented 9 years ago

@Arachnid thanks for accepting short and long clicks in the UI ;-)

nealzip commented 9 years ago

I was thinking along the lines of top menu item toggling between "Turn Load On" and "Turn Load Off". Yes two clicks but user friendly as it is menu driven.

dl2sba commented 9 years ago

I do not want to scroll thru menus to immediately switch of the RLP. Then pulling the plugs is faster.

Arachnid commented 9 years ago

Using the first menu item seems sensible, and leaves long-press available for soft-power-off (or vice-versa). In which case this is effectively blocked on #21.

i also would favor to add a "turn load off" / "turn load on" item as first item (while keeping the set value) idealy this will need some kind of icon/indication on the screen to show the load is off (aldo one would notice it with the amp reading normally)
