[Kwintv] re: Some proposals (2)

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your reply! 

You were talking about a frequency list. You mean the
frequency list from UPC (Nederland 1 = 216.oo etc.)?
I can give it to you, but yes, it's just for my
region. You need a list for all the places in the
Netherlands?
Tell me how I can help.

About my second proposal:
I'll send you an image to your personal emailaddress
(dziegel at gmx.de). This image shows the way I believe
the channelnumbering should work.
Please take a look at the image first.
.......
I hear you asking: Why the channelnumbering from the
bottom of the screen to the top of the screen?

Well.....

When you install KDETV the first time, the program
behaves like this:
When you go one channel up with pressing the up-key on
your keyboard, the highlighted channel moves up in
numbering, but goes one down on your screen, it moves
from the top of the screen to the bottom of the
screen. This is in the opposite direction as you would
expect!
It's not just me, friends were also confused when they
saw this. 

The easiest solution to this, is to change the
shortcuts:
one channel down = up-key
one channel up = down-key

And this is the way I work right now. The highlighted
channel moves in the direction you would expect.
(This also something you could do: just change the
default shortcuts as above.)

The best solution, actually, would be to change the
channelnumbering like in the mock-up/image.
Because than:
When you want to go one channel up, you press the
up-key and the highlighted channel moves one up on you
screen (from the bottom to the top of the screen)!

This way everything is synchronised:
Up-key = one channel up = highlighted channel moves up
(bottom to the top of the screen)!

I hope you understand me know :-) !

About the size of the volume bar. Is it possible to
give it a fixed size (f.e.80 pixels)? Because when you
move it around the size changes from huge to very
small. This is also the reason why I put it between
the main toolbar and the view toolbar.

For all the other points I mentioned: Or you agreed
with me or I agree with your feedback.

I forgot to tell you about two small bugs:
Sometimes when I change a channel, the new channel
doesn't give any sound. I have to switch few times
between channels and go back to the one I wanted to go
to and than it gives sound!

Sometimes when I'm changing a page in teletekst it
start going to the channel I'm typing in. For example:
When I press page 211, the program goes to channel 2, 
21 and after that to channel 1. In some kind of way
the program doesn't know anymore that I'm still using
teletekst and thinks that I want to change a channel.

Thanks for listening to my proposals! I will download
a new version of KDETV when it's ready and I hope you
will find a way to hide the statusbar by default.

Thanks,

Jeroen
