Details

This patch brings back the automatic rolo question you used to get after usb disconnect (and copying a new build of course)

It's here and not committed because this version scans at boot which is not very efficient imho. Any ideas are welcome

Can you elaborate a bit in your explanation!

you are like your nick (quick) ;)

Before the root menu, copying a new version + usb disconnect would give you a question if you wanted to reboot (on targets that handle usb themselves). It got broken by root menu, and this patch attempts to fix it in a more general and nicer way

Rockbox schoult detect an firmwareupdate after usb disconnects and reboot if it's updated.
There are some irc-discussions how to detect etc.

version 2: does a scan before and after the USB handler.
disadvantages:
- disk spins up before showing usb logo
- early USB not handled (but neither did the old code)
advantages:
- only scanned at usb connect, not every boot
- scanning is done regardless of where you are as long as default_handler is used
