157 \item [Browse .cfg Files: ]Opens the file browser in the
158 \fname{/.rockbox} directory and displays all \fname{.cfg} (configuration) files.
159 Selecting a \fname{.cfg} file will cause Rockbox to load the settings
160 contained in that file. Pressing \ButtonLeft\ will exit back to the menu.
161 See the \setting{Write .cfg files} option on the \setting{Manage Settings} menu for
162 details of how to save and edit a configuration file.

164 \item [Browse Firmwares: ]This displays a list of firmware file in
165 the \fname{/.rockbox} system directory. %
166 \opt{SWCODEC}{\fixme{This is legacy item, and is depreciated.}}

170 Playing a firmware file loads it into memory. Thus, it is possible to
171 run the original Archos firmware or a different version of Rockbox
172 from here assuming that you have the right files installed on your
173 disk. There is no need for any other file or directory to be installed
174 to use this option; the firmware is resident in that one file.
175 }
176 \item [Reset Settings: ]This wipes the saved settings in the \dap\ and
177 resets all settings to their default values.
178 \opt{h100, h300}{\note{You can also reset all settings to their default
179 values by turning off the \dap\, turning it back on, and pressing
180 the \ButtonRec button immediately after the \dap\ turns on.}
181 }
182 \item [Write .cfg file: ]This option writes a Rockbox configuration file
183 to your \daps\ hard disk. The configuration file has the \fname{.cfg}
184 extension and is used to store all of the user settings that are described
185 throughout this manual.
186 A configuration file may reside anywhere on the hard disk. Multiple
187 configuration files are permitted. So, for example, you could have
188 a \fname{car.cfg} file for the settings that you use while playing your
189 jukebox in your car, and a \fname{headphones.cfg} file to store the
190 settings that you use while listening to your \dap\ through headphones.
191
192 The Rockbox configuration file is a plain text file, so once you use the
193 \setting{Write .cfg file} option to create the file, you can edit the file
194 on your computer using any text editor program. See
195 \reference{ref:config_file_options} for available settings. Configuration
196 files use the following formatting rules:
197 %
198 \begin{enumerate}
199 \item Each setting must be on a separate line.
200 \item Each line has the format ``setting: value''.
201 \item Values must be within the ranges specified in this manual for each
202 setting.
203 \item Lines starting with \# are ignored. This lets you write comments
204 into your configuration files.
205 \end{enumerate}
206
207 Configuration files may be loaded using the \setting{Browse .cfg files}
208 option on the \setting{Manage Settings} menu.
209
210 \note{Configuration files do not need to contain all of the Rockbox
211 options. You can create configuration files that change only certain
212 settings. So, for example, supppose you typically use the \dap at one
213 volume in the car, and another when using headphones. Further,
214 suppose you like to use an inverse LCD when you're in the car, and
215 a regular LCD setting when you're using headphones. You could create
216 configuration files that control only the volume and LCD settings.
217 Create a few different files with different settings, give each file
218 a different name (such as \fname{car.cfg}, \fname{headphones.cfg},
219 etc.), and you can then use the \setting{Browse .cfg files} option
220 to quickly change settings.}
