Thanks for the excellent feedback, which you can find incorporated in a new image published under nfeske (version 2023-07-28).
The idea to slightly shuffle the software tabs is very sensible. I have just moved the status button in front, so the presets button becomes easier to reach.
Agreeing that the 10s blank timeout is somewhat annoying during testing, I have (temporarily?) increased the time to 1 minute. In a later version, it would be nice to make this aspect interactively configurable.
Your remarks about dialing large numbers are spot on. I took them as inspiration for a few changes. When the number grows larger, I let the "Dial" label disappear to make more room for the number. At this point, the user does not need this clue any more. If the number grows still larger, the digits change to a smaller font so that the full number remains visible. If the number grows even larger, I do the capping you suggested. The maximum number of digits is currently restricted to 30.
Since I'm not used to using # and *, I would appreciate learning a bit more about the practical usage patterns. Are these characters part of the dialed number or only used during an active call (for producing dial tones)? When pressing the dialpad buttons during a call, I guess that we should produce dial tones. Do we also need to display the new entered digits at this point, or can we just keep displaying the dialed number as is?
Have fun with trying out the new image. BTW, I'm taking a break for a few weeks. Please don't worry about my lack of forum activity. I'll be back.
