[06:40:09] toeb (toeb!~tob@HSI-KBW-078-042-104-026.hsi3.kabel-badenwuerttemberg.de) has joined #mythtv-theming
[06:47:57] toeb: Is it possible to set a triggerevent in the popup menus to go one level up? E.g in the watch recordings screen pressing "M" and then select "Storage Options". Now in the storage options i would like to press "left" to get back to the previous popup menu.
[06:48:29] toeb: Is there any theme doing this right now?
[06:57:46] justinh: download em all, then grep ;-)
[07:04:32] toeb: how would i do that for all at once? git clone git://github.com/MythTV-Themes/* does not work
[07:05:37] toeb: in fact i know how to use the trigger events i simply don't know what command to us to go one level up...
[07:05:41] justinh: I dunno. I've only used the theme chooser
[07:06:04] justinh: as for trigger events, I was glad to see the back of the old arrow key behaviour
[07:06:40] justinh: I'd be glad to see the back of trigger events too. A waste of effort IMHO
[07:07:06] toeb: do you mean RIGHT key makes the menu popup?
[07:07:08] justinh: toeb: you could try grepping the mythtv source code instead
[07:07:38] justinh: I mean arrow keys doing any more than just moving a selection box left, right, up or down
[07:07:59] justinh: anything else is contrary to common sense IMHO
[07:08:26] justinh: if a remote doesn't have enough buttons to implement a 'back' button, it's the wrong remote
[07:09:26] toeb: should the back button work to accomplish what i want?
[07:09:45] toeb: the popup menu simply disapears if i press back
[07:10:19] justinh: hmm. I'm not sure what mine does
[07:11:12] justinh: pretty sure I can go back & forth in *those* menus though
[07:11:26] ** justinh fires up an nx session & goes to look **
[07:11:33] toeb: I think it is just annoying if you are looking for a menu entry in one of the submenues and have to bring up the starting menu again and again
[07:11:46] toeb: what theme are you using?
[07:12:04] justinh: mine!
[07:12:10] justinh: yeah mine doesn't let me go back
[07:12:29] toeb: whats yours?
[07:12:30] justinh: I press esc & it just drops the menu off screen
[07:12:33] justinh: MINE
[07:12:41] justinh: unreleased
[07:12:46] toeb: :-)
[07:12:51] toeb: mine too :-)
[07:12:57] justinh: hahaha
[07:13:07] justinh: the LEFT button takes me back. LOL
[07:13:12] justinh: and I've not even used triggerevents
[07:13:43] justinh: although I may inadvertently inherited them from a base file
[07:14:47] justinh: FWIW MythCenter & MythCenter-wide seem to use triggerevent action="ESCAPE">LEFT
[07:16:35] justinh: from looking at the code for triggerevent it seems to me that the "action" name just has to be a keybinding name
[07:16:51] justinh: all it's doing is contextual remapping
[07:17:29] toeb: nice mythcenter has the behavior i'm looking for. Thanks
[07:17:45] justinh: I must be inheriting it from somewhere :-\
[07:17:47] justinh: gah
[07:18:33] justinh: btw my theme is called 'Concept'. It started out as trying new ideas & 2 years later I'm still chipping away at it. It might see a release one day
[07:19:22] justinh: I think of it as like the Mythbuntu theme with less of the bits I don't like ;-)
[07:23:01] justinh: huh? seems I'm not inheriting triggerevent from anywhere if only mythcenter is using it
[07:23:16] justinh: so the LEFT button taking you one level back must be the default
[07:23:28] justinh: in a popup menu that makes more sense to me
[07:23:57] justinh: if you're at the top level it takes you out, at lower than top it takes you one up
[07:28:29] toeb: I think i ll never get my theme finished... there are yust to many windows and i even didn't start to theme any of the plugins :-/
[07:29:41] justinh: lots of screens can be the same layout though
[07:29:49] justinh: in many ways mythui makes theming much simpler
[07:29:58] justinh: inheritance can save a lot of time
[07:30:27] justinh: don't even bother trying to theme mytharchive. That's easily the most frustrating to test

[08:05:40] toeb: i don't use mytharchive so i pobably won't ever theme it...
[08:59:36] justinh: toeb: so you're saying the default is that the left arrow dismisses the popup? I'll have to try a different theme. I can't find where mine might be inheriting from
[09:03:30] toeb: I think so, but I'm not sure
[09:12:07] justinh: mythcenter seems to operate the same way mine does w.r.t. popup navigation
[09:12:35] justinh: as does Arclight
[09:13:13] justinh: as does mythbuntu
[09:13:29] justinh: ESC dismisses the popup
[09:14:27] justinh: grepping the themes dir for "triggerevent" only mythcenter-wide has em
[09:14:49] justinh: so... MEH.
[09:36:44] toeb: aaaaaarg, i was looking at the wrong buttonlist... you are right the buttonlist for the popups still had LEFT set to be ESCAPE...
[09:54:47] justinh: heh
