Chapter 5. The Main Menu 46
5.13. Quick Screen
Although the Quick Screen is accessible from nearly everywhere, not just the Main
Menu, it is worth mentioning here. It allows rapid access to your four favourite settings.
The default settings are Shuffle (section 7 (page 56)), Repeat (section 7 (page 56))
and the Show Files (section 8.2 (page 63)) options, but almost all configurable options
in Rockbox can be placed on this screen. To change the options, navigate through the
menus to the setting you want to add and press Long Select. In the menu which appears
you will be given options to place the setting on the Quick Screen.
Press Long Submenu to access it and Select to exit. The direction buttons will
modify the individual setting values as indicated by the arrow icons. Please note that
the settings at opposite sides of the screen cycle through the available options in opposite
directions. Therefore if you select the same setting at e.g. the top and bottom of
the quickscreen, then pressing up and down will cycle through this setting in opposite
directions.
5.14. Shortcuts
This menu item is a container for user defined shortcuts to files, folders or settings. With
a shortcut,
• A file can be “run” (i.e. a music file played, plugin started or a .cfg loaded)
• The file browser can be opened with the cursor positioned at a specified file or
folder
• A file’s or folder’s “Current Playlist” context menu item can be displayed
• A setting can be configured (any which can be added to the Quick Screen)
• A debug menu item can be displayed (useful for developers mostly)
• The current time can be spoken
• The sleep timer can be configured
• The player can be turned off
Note: Shortcuts into the database are not possible
b
Shortcuts are loaded from the file /.rockbox/shortcuts.txt which lists each item
to be displayed. Each shortcut looks like the following:
Example
[shortcut]
type: <shortcut type>
data: <what the shortcut actually links to>
name: <what the shortcut should be displayed as>
