| \section{\label{ref:file_browser}File Browser} |
| \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-file-browser}{The file browser}{} |
| Rockbox lets you browse your music in either of two ways. The |
| \setting{File Browser} lets you navigate through the files and directories on |
| your \dap, entering directories and executing the default action on each file. |
| To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon. |
| |
| The \setting{Database Browser}, on the other hand, allows you to navigate |
| through the music on your player using categories like album, artist, genre, |
| etc. |
| |
| You can select whether to browse using the \setting{File Browser} or the |
| \setting{Database Browser} by selecting either \setting{Files} or |
| \setting{Database} in the \setting{Main Menu}. |
| If you choose the \setting{File Browser}, the \setting{Show Files} setting |
| lets you select what types of files you wish to view. See |
| \reference{ref:ShowFiles} for more information on the \setting{Show Files} |
| setting. |
| |
| \note{The \setting{File Browser} allows you to manipulate your files in ways |
| that are not available within the \setting{Database Browser}. Read more about |
| \setting{Database} in \reference{ref:database}. The remainder of this section |
| deals with the \setting{File Browser}.} |
| |
| \opt{ondio}{ |
| Unlike the Archos Firmware, Rockbox provides multivolume support for the |
| MultiMediaCard, this means the \dap{} can access both data volumes (internal |
| memory and the MMC), thus being able to for instance, build playlists with |
| files from both volumes. |
| In the \setting{File Browser} a new directory will appear as soon as the device |
| has read the content after inserting the card. This new directory's name is |
| generated as \fname{<MMC1>}, and will behave exactly as any other directory |
| on the \dap{}. |
| } |
| |
| \opt{iriverh10,iriverh10_5gb}{\note{ |
| If your \dap{} is a MTP model, the Music directory where all your music is stored |
| may be hidden in the \setting{File Browser}. This may be fixed by either |
| changing its properties (on a computer) to not hidden, or by changing |
| the \setting{Show Files} setting to all. |

| \subsection{\label{ref:Contextmenu}\label{ref:PartIISectionFM}Context Menu} |
| \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-context-menu}{The Context Menu}{} |
| |
| The \setting{Context Menu} allows you to perform certain operations on files or |
| directories. To access the \setting{Context Menu}, position the selector over a file |
| or directory and access the context menu with \ActionStdContext{}.\\ |
| |
| \note{The \setting{Context Menu} is a context sensitive menu. If the |
| \setting{Context Menu} is invoked on a file, it will display options available |
| for files. If the \setting{Context Menu} is invoked on a directory, |
| it will display options for directories.\\} |
| |
| The \setting{Context Menu} contains the following options (unless otherwise noted, |
| each option pertains both to files and directories): |
| |
| \begin{description} |
| \item [Playlist.] |
| Enters the \setting{Playlist Submenu} (see \reference{ref:playlist_submenu}). |
| \item [Playlist Catalogue.] |
| Enters the \setting{Playlist Catalogue Submenu} (see |
| \reference{ref:playlist_catalogue}). |
| \item [Rename.] |
| This function lets the user modify the name of a file or directory. |
| \item [Cut.] |
| Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard |
| and marks it to be `cut'. |
| \item [Copy.] |
| Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard |
| and marks it to be `copied'. |
| \item [Paste.] |
| Only visible if a file or directory name is on the clipboard. When selected |
| it will move or copy the clipboard to the current directory. |
| \item [Delete.] |
| Deletes the currently selected file. This option applies only to files, and |
| not to directories. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file. |
| Press \ActionYesNoAccept{} |
| to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel. |
| \item [Delete Directory.] |
| Deletes the currently selected directory and all of the files and subdirectories |
| it may contain. Deleted directories cannot be recovered. Use this feature with |
| caution! |
| \opt{lcd_non-mono}{ |
| \item [Set As Backdrop.] |
| Set the selected \fname{bmp} file as background image. The bitmaps need to meet the |
| conditions explained in \reference{ref:LoadingBackdrops}. |
| } |
| \item [Open with.] |
| Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally, when a file is selected in Rockbox, |
| Rockbox automatically detects the file type and runs the appropriate plugin. |
| The \setting{Open With} function can be used to override the default action and |
| select a viewer by hand. |
| For example, this function can be used to view a text file |
| even if the file has a non-standard extension (i.e., the file has an extension |
| of something other than \fname{.txt}). See \reference{ref:Viewersplugins} |
| for more details on viewers. |
| \item [Create Directory.] |
| Create a new directory in the current directory on the disk. |
| \item [Properties.] |
| Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification |
| for the selected file. If used on a directory, the number of files and |
| subdirectories will be shown, as well as the total size. |
| \opt{recording}{ |
| \item [Set As Recording Directory.] |
| Save recordings in the selected directory. |
| } |
| \item [\label{ref:StartFileBrowserHere}Start File Browser Here.] |
| This option allows users to set the currently selected directory as the default |
| start directory for the file browser. This option is not available for files. |
| \note{If you have \setting{Auto-Change Directory} and |
| \setting{Constrain Auto-Change} enabled, the directories returned will |
| be constrained to the directory you have chosen here and those below it. |
| See \reference{ref:ConstrainAutoChange}} |
| \item [Add to Shortcuts.] |
| Adds a link to the selected item in the \fname{shortcuts.link} file. |
| If the file does not already exist it will be created in the root directory. |
| Note that if you create a shortcut to a file, Rockbox will not open it upon |
| selecting, but simply bring you to its location in the \setting{File Browser}. |

| \subsection{\label{sec:virtual_keyboard}Virtual Keyboard} |
| \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-virtual-keyboard}{The virtual keyboard}{} |
| This is the virtual keyboard that is used when entering text in Rockbox, for |
| example when renaming a file or creating a new directory. |
| \nopt{player}{The virtual keyboard can be easily changed by making a text file |
| with the required layout. More information on how to achieve this can be found |
