The Context Menu allows you to perform certain operations on les or directories. To access the Context Menu, position the selector over a le or directory and access the context menu with Long Select.

Note: The Context Menu is a context sensitive menu. If the Context Menu is b invoked on a le, it will display options available for les. If the Context Menu is invoked on a directory, it will display options for directories.

The Context Menu contains the following options (unless otherwise noted, each option pertains both to les and directories):

Playlist. Enters the Playlist Submenu (see section 4.4.3 (page 34)).

Playlist Catalog. Enters the Playlist Catalog Submenu (see section 4.4.2 (page 33)).

Rename. This function lets the user modify the name of a le or directory.

Cut. Copies the name of the currently selected le or directory to the clipboard and marks it to be ‘cut’.

Copy. Copies the name of the currently selected le or directory to the clipboard and marks it to be ‘copied’.

Paste. Only visible if a le or directory name is on the clipboard. When selected it will move or copy the clipboard to the current directory.

Delete. Deletes the currently selected le. This option applies only to les, and not to directories. Rockbox will ask for con rmation before deleting a le. Press Select to con rm deletion or any other key to cancel.

Delete Directory. Deletes the currently selected directory and all of the les and subdi- rectories it may contain. Deleted directories cannot be recovered. Use this feature with caution!

Set As Backdrop. Set the selected bmp le as background image. The bitmaps need to meet the conditions explained in section 11.1.6 (page 134).

Open with. Runs a viewer plugin on the le. Normally, when a le is selected in Rock- box, Rockbox automatically detects the le type and runs the appropriate plugin. The 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 le even if the le has a non-standard extension (i.e., the le has an extension of something other than .txt). See section 10.3 (page 109) for more details on viewers.

Create Directory. Create a new directory in the current directory on the disk.

Properties. Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modi cation for the selected le. If used on a directory, the number of les and subdirectories will be shown, as well as the total size.
