But nobody has started it yet. I don't think a plugin would be good, as they are not accessible with speech yet. What I would like to see is the ability to move to a particular file or folder press a given combination of buttons to mark it,then scroll to another file or folder that is several away from the one you marked, press the same buttons and mark that as well, and the ability to be able to repeat this for as many files or folders as you need. I will open a forum thread on this issue I think, if the feature does not exist in rockbox. As a person will not always have access to a computer if they are out and about. In fact, the more I think about this, I think such an ability to highlight multiple entries could be extended to a lot of other things in rockbox, for example adding or removing entries from lists such as bookmarks or playlists, I am sure there would be a lot of other uses for such a feature, and that it would probably be better in the core. > ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2009-07-15 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
