Would it be possible to have ZS3 name in the Mixer header?

Hi!
I’m not sure if there is some toggle somewhere, if it is, sorry!
But I think it would be very useful to have the selected ZS3 name in the Mixer header, as reading the vertical text to identify a sub snapshot is a bit hard. So it would read Something like “Mixer: My Snapshot - My Subsnapshot”. Also, due to not having a lot of real state in the screen, I don’t know how useful it is to have the “Mixer” string there?

Thanks, really loving exploring this device!

Hi @Potajito

That is a pretty good idea. May I suggest you raise a feature request? I would suggest that the ZS3 name could be displayed only if it has been manually set by the user, i.e. not ZS3-1 or indeed the default snapshot zero-state, ZS3-0.

The idea of having the title of the current view is to indicate where you are in some, often very similar looking menu type screens but the Mixer is fairly distinctive so maybe does not require this. (We would want to ensure any accessibility features are implemented properly.)

Thanks!
I just created this feature request: Add ZS3 name to Mixer header, along Snapshot name · Issue #1220 · zynthian/zynthian-issue-tracking · GitHub

I quickly hacked this in and I think it looks good:

I did it adding and extra attribute to the state_manager to track the current zs3 title, I don’t know if another approach would be better, but works for me as a hack in the mean time of a proper implementation.
Here is the fork if anyone is interested: GitHub - Potajito/zynthian-ui: User Interface for Zynthian

I have implemented this (and a couple of other small enhancements to zs3) in the vangelis (testin) branch.

Just saw it on the github issue! I wasn’t sure my implementation was the way to go, but I wasn’t too far off seeing your code! I’ll give it a spin to the testing branch when my new SD arrives :smiley:
Thanks!
