Hey DuckieTigger, that's ingenious! I like it, but I wonder if that's the kind of "nested menu" that people have in mind when they ask for nested menus. I presume that they mean nested in the sense of a dynamic menu, like yfan lu's graphical menu, where you can visit the whole menu structure without interrupting the navigation. Anyhow, your hack has value, for instance if someone wants to temporarily hide all entries but the ones that are "needed for the job". Thanks for sharing your idea.

Stepk, look again, I am not only showing a subset of what is needed, but a set of buttons previously NOT shown at all. and everything happens without overwriting any files - purely on OS level. |

idea for sub-sub menues
Just had a possibly simple idea on how to implement sub-sub-menues. It only requires minor adjustments and a non-suicidal button.
Not completely elegant: the only way to get out of sub-menu is to go back to top hierarchy. The good though? No need to keep track of how you got to a sub-menu - it is always a sub-menu when not started from /mnt/us/extensions. Things that would be nice: non-suicidal buttons that will keep you in a submenu, or remember which sub-menu you last used. edit: Of course this is not the dynamic menu either. Problems may arise when sorting is concerned - and your internal data structure. Pure dynamic you have to ensure they stay grouped and visibly different. You would not want to explode a submenu and have them mixed in with the other buttons? No restart of KUAL needed, so it is kind of dynamic - my hack requires it, because after all it is a hack.

Re dynamic menus, I don't think the parser needs more code, but the java code does for sure - if nothing else to display a dynamic menu. Quote:
Drilling down into a submenu + return button sounds within reach of the current code set with a few controlled additions, (goes into thinking...) |

Thanks, food for thought. However, I think this would be difficult to do with the current code base, due to the way the kindlet invokes the parser - one shot, control doesn't go back and forth, data is passed back in a single stream
Thread history: I learned the hard way that KUAL development likes a simple incremental path. Q for all: is a two-level nested menu, that is no sub-sub-... menus, just sub-menu, not enough for the vast majority of kindle use cases? Quote:

@thomass, you agree with a question? Is your answer politically correct or was my question?

is someone interested in compiling dos2unix for Kindle 3 keyboard?
Edit: a better option is to compile DOSBOX for kindle, will help you use old DOS programs / Games, like XCOM, but i dont know how to do it... I'm trying to compile something with ANT on windows but i get lots of errors... Last edited by n3rd4i; 03-11-2013 at 03:54 PM. |
