So technically it is possible. This menu would be configured with a config file that gives pointers to the main menu entries that should each be called. The default config file should have a few resonable settings. And maybe we could provide a 'backup' of this file as 'default.quickmenu.config'. If the user messes everything up (s)he can copy this file over the 'quickmenu.config' file. We already have config files in .rockbox that are needed for rockbox to function properly, so this is not a new concept that would increase support issues. People can share their quickmenu.config files in the same way they share wps files. Most users would probably just download a file and use it instead of fiddling with the configuration themselves. What I like more about this than option 2: - There is no disc-spinup delay when selecting something - you can have functions here (call the radio, the playlist viewer...). This wouldn't be possible with config files - The entries would be properly voiced without the need for .talk files. - A user who wants to change many settings on the fly can have one of the already existing 'browse xxx' menu entries in the quickmenu To make customisation easier, it would be nice to have a txt file in /docs that lists every menu entry with its code. Another possibility would be a context menu entry that says 'add this menu entry to the quickmenu'. That's probably too much, though.
