Hijack v297: QuickTimer removed from '4'

Hijack v297: QuickTimer removed from '4' - 27/09/2002 08:37

Hijack v297 is out.

The only change is the default binding of the "QuickTimer" function has been removed from the '4' button on the Rio/Kenwood remotes. This should now allow those buttons to resume their former functionality ("mark track") without conflict.

But don't despair, the QuickTimer is still present, but now as a "virtual" button code that can be remapped to any "real" button (or popup menu) using ir_translate.

Here's how to restore the original functionality of the '4' button for QuickTimer:
[ir_translate]

Four.L=Four.UL,QuickTimer.N ;; a longpress works even in Tuner mode
Four.AM=Four.U,QuickTimer.N ; Rio Remote '4' shortpress Mp3/Aux
b94604.AM=b94604.U,QuickTimer.N ; Kenwood remote '4' Mp3/Aux


Of course, if one doesn't need Tuner preset #4, and one doesn't have a Kenwood remote, this can be simplified:
[ir_translate]

Four=Four.U,QuickTimer.N

Cheers

I quite like binding the quick timer to a long press of "Select Mode", which AFAIK is not used for anything in Main or Tuner modes:

[ir_translate]
SelectMode.L=SelectMode.UL,QuickTimer.N ; "Select Mode" long-press is timer in all modes
