Squeezeplay,Touch, Joggler,Track selection

[Editorp]

A question specifically raised through running Squeezeplay on a Joggler, but assume this is also true of squeezeplay on PC or a Touch?

I run my squeezeboxes (4)in sync most of the time just switching on and off whichever player as I need.
If I use the joggler to switch a particular player off, I am then stuck! The screen I am then offered is only the wallpaper with a single button to turn that particular player back on again!
I have to use another external (to joggler) method to switch off individual players (IR or PC UI) ( having already switched the Joggler/Squeezeplay over to the new player I now wish to control.

Have I missed something here? is this a function of Squeezeplay itself? so cannot be resolved, or part of the Joggler implementation?

and…

Is it possible to reverse the track selection modes so that a “touch and hold” plays the track and the short “touch” brings up the menu?
Currently if you accidentally just touch a track you wipe the current playlist you may have just built.
If you reversed the modes then if you accidentally just “touched” instead of “touch & hold”, you would simply bring up the menu, which you could either then close or even just press the “play” option.

If the above post is familiar to you then it is because I asked the same question on Tarkan's blog who did such a fabulous job of making the "Joggler as controller" a nice easy install, even I could do it.

It really is a terrific app for it, and at £50 off ebay the joggler is a steal.

Apologies if the track thing has already been asked, couldn't find a reference to it elsewhere in Threads.

That can be annoying. It has been suggested that there be an optional "safe mode" to turn off touch-to-play while building playlists.
Another idea is to have a "safe playlist" option that is not overwritten by a choice to play the selected item to see if you want that item added to the current playlist being built.
