[FR] BDM when more than one device is in use

Open Haker120 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

  1. Insead of replacing BDM icon with connected item's icon (USB/i.Link/MX4SIO/UDP), show all usable devices at once.
  2. Thanks to this we could browse content of all supported devices at once without need of unplugging previous one.
  3. Instead of using bitmaps with all devices, it could use separated bitmaps for plugged devices, for example separated for USB, MX4SIO, HDD and so on. Thanks to that it'd be possible to add new icons/devices without editing/removing older and perhaps that will spare some of VRAM.
  4. Every device has two icons showing whether user connected them or not plus third shared (blinking one like it's backlit in FMCB v1.8's GUI) used to highlight/select actually used device.
  5. Would be nice to move HDD before SMB and UDP to have all mass devices next to each other (for me that'd be more aesthetically looking).

Yes, that's what I referred to as "page plugin system" a few months ago.

I am just not entirely sure if showing it as the normal icons or as a "sub-selection" would be preferable, because showing it as own icon would basically break every existing theme.

Edit: Btw.: The "blinking selection" and generally "4." is a cool idea I haven't thought of.
