3 | \section{\label{ref:file_browser}File Browser} | ||
4 | \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-browser}{The file browser}{} | ||
5 | Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The | ||
6 | \setting{File Browser} lets you navigate through the files and folders on | ||
7 | your \dap, entering folders and executing the default action on each file. | ||
8 | To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon. | ||
9 | |||
10 | The \setting{Database Browser}, on the other hand, allows you to navigate | ||
11 | through the music on your player using categories like album, artist, genre, | ||
12 | etc. | ||
13 | |||
14 | You 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}. | ||
17 | If you choose the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{Show Files} setting | ||
18 | lets you select what types of files you wish to view. See | ||
19 | \reference{ref:ShowFiles} for more information on the \setting{Show Files} | ||
20 | setting. | ||
21 | |||
22 | \note{The \setting{File Browser} allows you to manipulate your files in ways | ||
23 | that are not available within the \setting{Database Browser}. Read more about | ||
24 | \setting{Database} in \reference{ref:database}. The remainder of this section | ||
25 | deals with the \setting{File Browser}.} | ||
26 | |||
27 | \opt{ondio}{ | ||
28 | Unlike the Archos Firmware, Rockbox provides multivolume support for the | ||
29 | MultiMediaCard, this means the \dap{} can access both data volumes (internal | ||
30 | memory and the MMC), thus being able to for instance, build playlists with | ||
31 | files from both volumes. | ||
32 | In the \setting{File Browser} a new folder will appear as soon as the device | ||
33 | has read the content after inserting the card. This new folder's name is | ||
34 | generated as \fname{<MMC1>}, and will behave exactly as any other folder | ||
35 | on the \dap{}. | ||
36 | } | ||
37 | |||
38 | \opt{h10,h10_5gb}{\note{ | ||
39 | If your \dap{} is a MTP model, the Music folder where all your music is stored | ||
40 | may be hidden in the \setting{File Browser}. This may be fixed by either | ||
41 | either changing it's properties (on a computer) to not hidden, or by changing | ||
42 | the \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 | |||
100 | The \setting{File Menu} allows you to perform certain operations on files or | ||
101 | folders. To access the \setting{File Menu}, position the selector over a file | ||
102 | or 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 | ||
106 | for files. If the \setting{File Menu} is invoked on a folder or directory, | ||
107 | it will display options for directories.} | ||
108 | |||
109 | The \setting{File Menu} contains the following options (unless otherwise noted, | ||
110 | each 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. | ||
150 | \end{description} | ||

153 | \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-virtual-keyboard}{The virtual keyboard}{} | ||

155 | example when renaming a file or creating a new directory. | ||
