|
||||
\subsection{Basic controls}
|
||||
When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view
|
||||
presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be
|
||||
pretty intuitive.
|
||||
In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around
|
||||
the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. \opt{wheel_acceleration}{
|
||||
Note that the scroll speed is accelerating the faster you rotate the wheel.}
|
||||
When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view
|
||||
switches to the ``While playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see
|
||||
\reference{ref:WPS}. The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of
|
||||
the current directory. This way you can easily treat directories as playlists.
|
||||
The created dynamic playlist can be extended or modified while playing. This is
|
||||
also known as ``on-the-fly playlist''.
|
||||
To go back to the \setting{File Browser} stop the playback with the
|
||||
\ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback
|
||||
running using \ActionWpsBrowse{}.
|
||||
In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
|
||||
Use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to adjust the selection when browsing
|
||||
through menus. \opt{wheel_acceleration}{
|
||||
Note that scroll speed accelerates, the faster you rotate the wheel.}
|
||||
Press \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. Selecting an audio file in the File Browser
|
||||
will play it. The ``While playing screen'' (``WPS'', see \reference{ref:WPS}) will
|
||||
be displayed, and the current playlist will be replaced with tracks from the current
|
||||
directory. To go back to the bowser, either stop playback using the
|
||||
\ActionWpsStop{} button, or press \ActionWpsBrowse{}, which keeps playback
|
||||
running.
|
||||
When browsing files, return to parent directories with \ActionTreeParentDirectory.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Basic concepts}
|
||||
\subsubsection{Playlists}
|
||||
Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
|
||||
a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved
|
||||
playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save
|
||||
it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your
|
||||
files directory based.
|
||||
Rockbox is playlist-oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file,
|
||||
a current playlist is generated.
|
||||
You can modify the current playlist in many ways while playing, and also save
|
||||
it to a file. But you are not forced to do so.
|
||||
Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsubsection{Menu}
|
||||
From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable.
|
||||
Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used
|
||||
functions.
|
||||
Menus are the primary way of interacting with Rockbox and offer quick access
|
||||
to frequently-used functions.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsubsection{Context Menu}
|
||||
Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu.
|
||||
From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext{}.
|
||||
The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets
|
||||
called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can
|
||||
perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is
|
||||
the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is
|
||||
the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply
|
||||
to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu
|
||||
gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using
|
||||
the context menu from within the WPS.
|
||||
In many places, a context menu can be accessed by pressing \ActionStdContext{}.
|
||||
A context menu allows you to perform actions relevant to your current selection, and may
|
||||
include more advanced commands.
|
||||
In the file browser, the relevant selection may be a file (or directory).
|
||||
On the WPS, it is the currently playing track. Some actions do not apply
|
||||
to the selection, but relate to the screen itself, from which the context menu
|
||||
was accessed. Playback settings accessible from the “While playing screen” are one such
|
||||
example.
