Bugzilla – Bug 2453
Auto Vertical Line Scroll
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
On most plugins you have to press the down arrow to see further lines of text. Would it be possible to have a setting that allowed the user to pick a time in seconds so that when this time is up the unit automatically displayed the next line etc? I am thinking of plugins such as Biography and Album Review and some news plugins. This may seem like a trivial request but when reading a lot of information its a lot of arrow presses :-)
This is a slimserver feature request.
Adrian - how hard is this in the new display world?
This isn't really a request for the display rendering code - it needs to be in whatever is calling it and I'm not sure that is common across plugins wishing to display lots of text. Both plugin's mentioned are Michaels' - Michael how do you display the text in these plugins?
Nothing special in my plugins - except that they do not yet use the INPUT.List mode, but old lines() style browsing. I don't have any automatic scrolling (they're never the right speed for me anyway :-)).
Michael can fix this according to his own schedule.
