Here are some suggestions towards making the viewing of media better and quicker in MP
- Currently the pictures in Slideshow are viewed by default (normal mode) in a way that can be best described as "fit image", which, besides being the starting point for zooming in (PgDn), is also the end point for zooming out (PgUp). I suggest the PgDn and PgUp shortcut keys should work similarly to the "zoom in" and "zoom out " buttons of every typical picture viewer, that is being able to zoom out beyond the "fit image" point . Secondly, I suggest, similarly to fullscreen video context menu's submenu "Aspect Ratio", the addition of a Slideshow context menu's submenu (named e.g. Picture View Mode) with two options "Fit image" and "Fit image only when larger" which is going to be the remembered setting for viewing images. As for shortcut keys, the changes can be 1 for selected picture view mode and 2-9 for zoom modes with the selected mode as starting point or, alternatively and better, 1 for "original", 2 for "fit image" irrespectively of the selected picture view mode, 3-9 zoom modes with the selected mode as starting point).
- Along with fullscreen video context menu's submenu "Aspect Ratio", add a "Video Size" context menu with options like 50%, original, 150% ,200%, Normal.
- Add general shortcuts for instantly going back to the application's home page and the MyMusic, MyVideos, My Pictures and MyTV pages. (I would personally appreciate it if the shortcut for the application homepage was one-key e.g. the F10 key)
- Add a TV show, preferably one-key, shortcut for TV Record Now.
And also, can we drop "My" from the menus?
Please feel free to make any comments on my suggestions. I'd like to know what others think also.
