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 directories on
7 your \dap, entering directories and executing the default action on each file.
8 To help differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon.
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.
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.
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}.}
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 directory will appear as soon as the device
33 has read the content after inserting the card. This new directory's name is
34 generated as \fname{<MMC1>}, and will behave exactly as any other directory
35 on the \dap{}.
38 \opt{h10,h10_5gb}{\note{
39 If your \dap{} is a MTP model, the Music directory where all your music is stored
40 may be hidden in the \setting{File Browser}. This may be fixed by either
41 either changing its properties (on a computer) to not hidden, or by changing
42 the \setting{Show Files} setting to all.

128 \subsection{\label{ref:Contextmenu}\label{ref:PartIISectionFM}Context Menu}
129 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-context-menu}{The Context Menu}{}
131 The \setting{Context Menu} allows you to perform certain operations on files or
132 directories. To access the \setting{Context Menu}, position the selector over a file
133 or directory and access the context menu with \ActionStdContext{}.\\
135 \note{The \setting{Context Menu} is a context sensitive menu. If the
136 \setting{Context Menu} is invoked on a file, it will display options available
137 for files. If the \setting{Context Menu} is invoked on a directory,
138 it will display options for directories.\\}
140 \opt{hotkey}{
141 Some of these options can be set to the \setting{Hotkey} (see \reference{ref:Hotkeys})
142 for that context by pressing \ActionWpsHotkey.\\
145 The \setting{Context Menu} contains the following options (unless otherwise noted,
146 each option pertains both to files and directories):
148 \begin{description}
149 \item [Playlist.]
150 Enters the \setting{Playlist Submenu} (see \reference{ref:playlist_submenu}).
151 \item [Playlist Catalog.]
152 Enters the \setting{Playlist Catalog Submenu} (see
153 \reference{ref:playlist_catalog}).
154 \item [Rename.]
155 This function lets the user modify the name of a file or directory.
156 \item [Cut.]
157 Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
158 and marks it to be `cut'.
159 \item [Copy.]
160 Copies the name of the currently selected file or directory to the clipboard
161 and marks it to be `copied'.
162 \item [Paste.]
163 Only visible if a file or directory name is on the clipboard. When selected
164 it will move or copy the clipboard to the current directory.
165 \item [Delete.]
166 Deletes the currently selected file. This option applies only to files, and
167 not to directories. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file.
168 Press \ActionYesNoAccept{}
169 to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel.
170 \opt{hotkey}{\setting{Hotkey}able (see \reference{ref:Hotkeys}).}
171 \item [Delete Directory.]
172 Deletes the currently selected directory and all of the files and subdirectories
173 it may contain. Deleted directories cannot be recovered. Use this feature with
174 caution! \opt{hotkey}{\setting{Hotkey}able (see \reference{ref:Hotkeys}).}
175 \opt{lcd_non-mono}{
176 \item [Set As Backdrop.]
177 Set the selected \fname{bmp} file as background image. The bitmaps need to meet the
178 conditions explained in \reference{ref:LoadingBackdrops}.
180 \item [Open with.]
181 Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally, when a file is selected in Rockbox,
182 Rockbox automatically detects the file type and runs the appropriate plugin.
183 The \setting{Open With} function can be used to override the default action and
184 select a viewer by hand.
185 For example, this function can be used to view a text file
186 even if the file has a non-standard extension (i.e., the file has an extension
187 of something other than \fname{.txt}). See \reference{ref:Viewersplugins}
188 for more details on viewers. \opt{hotkey}{\setting{Hotkey}able (see \reference{ref:Hotkeys}).}
189 \item [Create Directory.]
190 Create a new directory in the current directory on the disk.
191 \item [Properties.]
192 Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification
193 for the selected file. If used on a directory, the number of files and
194 subdirectories will be shown, as well as the total size.
195 \opt{recording}{
196 \item [Set As Recording Directory.]
197 Save recordings in the selected directory.
199 \item [Add to Shortcuts.]
200 Adds a link to the selected item in the \fname{shortcuts.link} file.
201 If the file does not already exist it will be created in the root directory.
202 Note that if you create a shortcut to a file, Rockbox will not open it upon
203 selecting, but simply bring you to it's location in the \setting{File Browser}.
204 \end{description}
206 \subsection{\label{sec:virtual_keyboard}Virtual Keyboard}
207 \screenshot{rockbox_interface/images/ss-virtual-keyboard}{The virtual keyboard}{}
208 This is the virtual keyboard that is used when entering text in Rockbox, for
209 example when renaming a file or creating a new directory.
210 \nopt{player}{The virtual keyboard can be easily changed by making a text file
211 with the required layout. More information on how to achieve this can be found
212 on the Rockbox website at \wikilink{LoadableKeyboardLayouts}.}
