There are end-users there too you know. We feel it makes sense to kind of "hide" the directory as it is not just a normal dir, it is a very special dir for Rockbox magic things. > It still shows up under (most-users) windows Yes, but what can we do about that?

For normal operations we think this directory should be hidden from the UI. This is not strictly related to the fact it starts with a dot. We intend to add the .rockbox-browsing patch soon (after 2.0) that will make selecting fonts and languages a lot easier even for newcomers. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2003-04-14 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
