Re: making an app for the rockbox

In the rockbox manual it says:

"Most of them can be started from the main menu if you
put them in the
/.rockbox/rocks directory. Press PLAY on them to start
them."

When I compile the rockbox it does not create any
.rockbox directory. If I try making this directory,
it doesn't like the dot at the beginning of the name
and says invalid name for directory. I am using the
Devkit on Windows and when i go to rockbox simulator
window and clik "Browse Plugins" on the menu, it
doesn't do anything. The same problem on the actual
archos player. When the .ajz file is downloaded
everything seems to work fine except for the "Browse
plugins" part. Any idea, how to handle it?

Thanks,

Mansoor Chatha
