    Is there a command to return to the default music folder?

    I've been playing with the Audio Browse skin and have a lot of MP3s in many folders.

    Is there a way to return to the default music folder without having to navigate back up through the folders?

    Press and hold the "BROWSE" button .. or execute "!BROWSE" (this is a "GO HOME" feature)

    Thank Guino, I should have done a proper search before asking, I found it in the FAQ after submitting the question. But I didn't know about "!BROWSE", cheers!

    Are there other commands with ! I know of !SELECT+ and now !BROWSE are there others?

    All the "!" does is set the command to execute as if you press and hold a button.. any command that has a different function when press and hold can be executed like that.. the ones that don't will simply execute normally.

    There isn't a chance that the following commands could be grouped in to a click and click-hold sequence. The reason I ask is because the audio browser skin has a lot of buttons and these four groupings would be a logical choise to use the hold functionality.

    "SELDL||PGUP" and "SELDL||GOTOFIRST"
    "SELDL||PGDOWN" and "SELDL||GOTOLAST"
    "SELPL||PGUP" and "SELPL||GOTOFIRST"
    "SELPL||PGDOWN" and "SELPL||GOTOLAST"


    In other words, if I click the dir pgdown it pages down if I hold it the dir list goes to last. Same with the others. Have a look at my audio browser skin to see how busy it is!


    What do you think about grouping these commands?

    People Ask features, I make them.. but it's impossible to fit all in a single screen -- I imgined people would group functions "alike" together in menus (never happened)..

    anyway, the problem is that people with large file lists, will complain.. PGUP/DOWN are supposed to be repeatedly executed when holding them (as a fast scroll). I can at most, make it so that press and hold GOTOLAST/GOTOFIRST will act as PGUP/PGDOWN, but any other way this would interfere with the way the commands are supposed to work.

    I could make two extra commands like: PGUPEX and PGDOWNEX to perform exactly what you want, but it would still be awkward (compared to normal operation) in my opinion.

    Guino, I forgot about the scroll in page down/up for multiple pages. I'll drop the idea ad keep them seperate.

    Cheers for your help.

    The same as Select+ except that it stays in the Browser window.. you can do it by press and holding the select+ button too..
