Exit from Theater View

<< < (2/8) > >>

tzr916:
Sorry, the button is actually called "CLEAR" on MCE remotes... I have it programmed to the Exit button on my Harmony Hub remote.

Currently there is no such thing as windowed theater view.

mcq:
Didn't know that - do you know which other buttons are programmed where?
Thank you

Anyway it still takes you to exiting Theatre View altogether - then - you need the mouse to window to find the underlying other app.
Then start again from the root of Theatre View.
The 'action counts' have gone up a lot by now!

Your last statement is the crux of the matter - can we have such a thing as windowed Theatre View please.

We do have it when playing which I regard as part of the Theatre View experience - and it works very well.

tzr916:
After pressing the MCE Clear button then choosing to Exit theater view, I see standard view but it may also go into display view if that's what was being used previously... Then I can use the Green button to get back into theater view. Personally, I don't have any use for a windowed theater view - seems odd.

mcq:
Well I guess we all have different experiences to relate to.

Taking your path -
Clear button and Exit Theatre View - gives exactly that - you've lost your position in Theatre view.
If like me you have 2600 files in Show > Recent and you were half way down, then - you don't want to have to start all over again - just to have flicked to an email and back.

Standard view is completely irrelevant and I don't ever need to see that except when I initially configure MC - that's why my windows start behaviour is in Theatre View.
Some people love Standard View and see it as the Holly Grail that you must 'touch' to do anything else - for those on the sofa it is completely irrelevant and in the way most of the time.
Different users need different experiences.

I still need the mouse to window Standard View to see what's below.

The Green button takes me back to the root of Theatre View - not where I was.

Windowing is the only way to preserve the previous view and return directly to it - which is why it exits in virtually every Windows app.

Can we please accommodate those that would find it invaluable - even if it is not so beneficial to others.

Thanks

You can remap the Clear button to directly show Standard View and then remap a different button to directly show Theater View again which should not change your place in Theater View. You can test that this works as you want first by using the keyboard shortcuts.  Ctrl+digit changes the view. I don’t know offhand but something like Ctrl+1 for Standard View and Ctrl+3 for Theater View.
