[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1099327, member: 141969"] Yes, I agree; I noticed this "awkwardness" when I was testing yesterday. To go from filmstrip to side-bar menu you press UP, but to return from side-bar menu to filmstrip you press LEFT or RIGHT. But even if LEFT or RIGHT on filmstrip took you to the side-bar menu, if you were in the middle of a long list you would still press UP to get to the menu quickly, to avoid having to scroll left or right multiple times in order to get to the start or end of the list! Yes, I did get rather carried away with the arrows! There remains one case that is not correct: DOWN from "Filmstrip Covers" displays the programme info (good!). DOWN from "Filmstrip Thumbs" displays the side-bar menu with no choice highlighted (bad!). In both cases, UP displays the side-bar menu with first choice highlighted, so there is no point in DOWN from "Filmstrip Thumbs" also displaying the side-bar menu (especially since it has no choice highlighted!). There seems no reason to make "Thumbs" different from "Covers" here, so making DOWN from "Thumbs" display programme info provides extra function to the end user, and avoids the error case! -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
