Thread: D3 Front End: Enhancements/Feature Requests

So unless Ninja Monkey objects (in which case, feel free to delete this thread), i would like to start an enhancement request thread. Please post all requests for new functionality in this thread. Try not to post bugs, or to clog this thread with off-topic replies; but i guess comments about previously posted requests would be good.

(and to Ninja Monkey; dont think that you have to implement everything that gets suggested - you are under no oblication to do so - just let us know if a feature is not possible or if you dont like it...)


So i'll start with my requests:

1. Use cursor keys to scroll around the map when no menus are open (similar to click & drag, but without a mouse/touchscreen)

2. (I think this is Ol33l's request, but i like it too) - Use Enter key to go through the City-->Street-->Number screens (i.e. Press Destination, City-Street, then Type Sydney, Enter, George St, Enter, 120, Enter)

Any others?

Nice idea, I was planning on doing this soon...saved me the job

1. This is possible, Should be easy to implement too.

2. Hmm, I'll think about it

1) Scrolling could also have a hotkey, like left, right, up, down

2)

3) Get some text in the Bird's Eye view mode

4) Cool. More iGuidance2 like features

Being able to navigate via latitude and longitude co-ordinates would be a really handy bonus too (aswell as street/suburbs etc).

this would give the 4wder's of the world the ability to enter detinations setout by previous people...

I would like to have the song title displayed in the menu bar in addition to or instead of the ETA/current location. I've heard that winamp doesn't give you access to mp3 tag information(I think it was Confused that told me this back when he did his Destintator 2 frontend for Mediacar), so this may not be possible, but scrolling ID3 tag information for artist and song title would be really cool.

I think I've gone as far as I'm going to go with media functions (I've just added volume control). The song title being displayed is up to the developer of your media frontend, whether it be in some mini-mode or at the top of your embedded window.

I'm not about to clutter the window up even more by adding information that in most instances will already be there.

How about not resetting to the most zoomed out mode when sending ZoomIn at the closes setting?

I think that should be in the bugs thread...I had no idea

Some programmers do that type of exception handling, if you can't zoom in anymore, set zoom to zero. So yeh, I don't want that in there
