I dont get an ABC scrollbar in Diamond Flow (or any other menus) #77

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I tried going into the Diamond Flow menu.  The only thing I can do is press 
enter, left, right, and select.  The instructions say that I need to press, 
"Down".   Nothing happens when I do that.  I tried it both with the remote 
control and the keyboard "down" button; unfortunately nothing changes on my 
screen.  Is there an option I need enable to get this to work when I press 
"down"?

This is an odd one.  I just tries on my test client and all good here.

The scroll bar is only part of our custom screens so I don't think another 
plugin would cause this.

I'll let plucky comment.

You must be sorting by title as that Is the only way the scroll bar can work.

You guys might want to make that limitation clear.  It would be great if this 
feature would work with other sorting options as an option (Toggle 
disable/enable A-Z scroll bar).  I don't think there would be any negative 
side-effects; and, significantly increasing productivity for other sort options 
(ie, when sorting by newest movies first, but also have the option to quickly 
jump to a movie that starts with a certain letter within seconds!)

You can do it with multiple sorts no way no how when they aren't in 
alphabetically sort you can't jump to a letter it would be pointless and random 
what movie it would jump to. It is pretty clear to me.

above should say you can't do it with multiple sorts.

Okay, I understand what youre saying.

I should have probably been more specific... 

Many people who choose non-alphabetical sort orders, still need to sometimes 
quickly refer to a movie based on name.  I have a suggestion that would 
increase productivity/functionality without interfering with the way things 
work currently (but I'm sure it would be a PITA to do).

Suggestion:
If you're in a non-alphabetical sort order... when you press "Down", that would 
imply that you want to temporarily look for movies based on alphabetical order 
(showing an A-Z scroll bar).  The sort order would temporary change to "A-Z" 
until you press "select/enter" for the movie you're looking for or when you 
exit the menu; reverting back to the user-defined sort order.

I dont think this would cause any confusion to the user; and, increase 
productivity for quick/temporary alphabetical name lookups. This is the only 
way I can think of to have best of both worlds.

Anyway, just a suggestion.  What do you guys think?

I'm not interested in jumping to a letter/number in a list thats sorted by 
release date or year, id be more apt to scroll through those list.  

The following enhancement will make a pretty complete solution and actually get 
you to a specific movie in those randomly sorted lists,
