VLC loop buttons

Well I’m a genious. Just as VLC has announced a big interface design, for it’s upcoming 4.0 version, I decide to figure out the meanings of the icons for looping. I’ve used VLC for years, it began in 2001, so maybe 2 decades, And never took the time to figure out the differences. They could have come up with more meaningful icons, IMHO. The middle button is the loop icon.


Loop Off


Loop All


Loop One

If you look at them the only difference between Loop Off and Loop All is the shade. I guess that spec in the middle of Loop One, is a 1. Going to the trouble of documenting this, it doesn’t seem that hard. And yet through the years I just kept mindlessly clicking the button until it did what I wanted. How about just a simple ASCII character? O,A,1…(O)ff, (A)ll and (1).
