3\section{\label{ref:file_browser}File Browser}
4\screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-browser}{The file browser}{}
5Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The
6\setting{File Browser} lets you navigate through the files and folders on
7your \dap, entering folders and executing the default action on each file.
8To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon.
9
10The \setting{Database Browser}, on the other hand, allows you to navigate
11through the music on your player using categories like album, artist, genre,
12etc.
13
14You can select whether to browse using the \setting{File Browser} or the
15\setting{Database Browser} by selecting either \setting{Files} or
16\setting{Database} in the \setting{Main Menu}.
17If you choose the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{Show Files} setting
18lets you select what types of files you wish to view. See
19\reference{ref:ShowFiles} for more information on the \setting{Show Files}
20setting.
21
22\note{The \setting{File Browser} allows you to manipulate your files in ways
23that are not available within the \setting{Database Browser}. Read more about
24\setting{Database} in \reference{ref:database}. The remainder of this section
25deals with the \setting{File Browser}.}
26
27\opt{ondio}{
28Unlike the Archos Firmware, Rockbox provides multivolume support for the
29MultiMediaCard, this means the \dap{} can access both data volumes (internal
30memory and the MMC), thus being able to for instance, build playlists with
31files from both volumes.
32In the \setting{File Browser} a new folder will appear as soon as the device
33has read the content after inserting the card. This new folder's name is
34generated as \fname{<MMC1>}, and will behave exactly as any other folder
35on the \dap{}.
36}
37
38\opt{h10,h10_5gb}{\note{
39If your \dap{} is a MTP model, the Music folder where all your music is stored
40may be hidden in the \setting{File Browser}. This may be fixed by either
41either changing it's properties (on a computer) to not hidden, or by changing
42the \setting{Show Files} setting to all.

97\subsection{\label{ref:Filemenu}\label{ref:PartIISectionFM}File Menu}
98\screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-menu}{The File Menu}{}
99
100The \setting{File Menu} allows you to perform certain operations on files or
101folders. To access the \setting{File Menu}, position the selector over a file
102or folder and access the context menu with \ActionStdContext{}.
103
104\note{The \setting{File Menu} is a context sensitive menu. If the
105\setting{File Menu} is invoked on a file, it will display options available
106for files. If the \setting{File Menu} is invoked on a folder or directory,
107it will display options for directories.}
108
109The \setting{File Menu} contains the following options (unless otherwise noted,
110each option pertains both to files and directories):
111
112\begin{description}
113\item [Playlist.]
114 Enters the \setting{Playlist Submenu} (see \reference{ref:playlist_submenu}).
115\item [Rename.]
116 This function lets the user modify the name of a file or directory.
117\item [Cut.]
118 Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
119 and marks it to be `cut'.
120\item [Copy.]
121 Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
122 and marks it to be `copied'.
123\item [Paste.]
124 Only visible if a file or directory name is on the clipboard. When selected
125 it will move or copy the clipboard to the current directory.
126\item [Delete.]
127 Deletes the currently selected file. This option applies only to files, and
128 not to directories. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file.
129 Press \ActionYesNoAccept{}
130 to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel.
131\item [Delete Directory.]
132 Deletes the currently selected directory and all of the files and folders
133 contained in the selected directory. Deleted directories cannot be recovered.
134 Use this feature with caution!
135\item [Open with.]
136 Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally, when a file is selected in Rockbox,
137 Rockbox automatically detects the file type and runs the appropriate plugin.
138 The \setting{Open With} function can be used to override the default action and
139 select a viewer by hand.
140 For example, this function can be used to view a text file
141 even if the file has a non-standard extension (i.e., the file has an extension
142 of something other than \fname{.txt}). See \reference{ref:Viewersplugins}
143 for more details on viewers.
144\item [Create Directory.]
145 Create a new folder in the current folder on the disk.
146\item [Properties.]
147 Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification
148 for the selected file. If used on a directory, the number of files and sub
149 directories in that directory will be shown, as well as the total size.
