This implies an architectural leap with respect to LV_info, or it could be a one-off:

In this mode, INFO could also provide a verbose overlay with bunches of MLV metadata.

Delete button - should obviously have confirmation dialog. Must be disabled while playing.

thanks for the mockup.

You're welcome. Tall video:

should the symbols be rendered as bitmaps or as font icons?

stevefal · October 29, 2013, 09:43:46 PM

I would recommend font icons. I think A1ex wanted to move everything, such as tab icons, to fonts. But I have had no response on moving the font stuff forward.

okay then i will design it to use strings instead of symbols, which is also a bit easier.

The use of the backspace icon for delete bugs me. Why not just a stylised trash can?

g3gg0 · October 31, 2013, 01:34:53 AM

same for me. maybe PC users are not used to such icons

steve, can you add those symbols if you have some time?

stevefal · October 31, 2013, 01:57:40 AM

I kept away from the trashcan because ML uses to enter/exit ML. I'll keep thinking about this.

I'm happy to put in the icons, but can you convince a1ex to format the font files for me? http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8142.msg79851#msg79851
