The +\setting{File Browser} lets you navigate through the files and folders on +your \dap, entering folders 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.

To access the \setting{File Menu}, position the selector over a file +or folder and access the context menu with \ActionStdContext{}. + +\note{The \setting{File Menu} is a context sensitive menu. If the +\setting{File Menu} is invoked on a file, it will display options available +for files. If the \setting{File Menu} is invoked on a folder or directory, +it will display options for directories.} + +The \setting{File 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 [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 folders + contained in the selected directory. Deleted directories cannot be recovered. + Use this feature with caution! +\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 folder in the current folder on the disk. +\item [Properties.] + Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification + for the selected file.
