Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root
dunno:
I think patch 5924 is a good idea.
I dont like the left to wps idea, overshooting root happens frequently and is irratating.
nieroster:
In fact navigaiton in Rockbox is quite unintuitive:
form the filebrowser you change to WPS by pressing Play
from other menus you return to the WPS with Stop
from a plugin you return to the WPS by pressing Stop... why not always use the same button?
Another issue:
Sometimes when I return from a line-out session I forget to reduce volume to a reasonable value for use with earpads. Pressing Stop prevents me from setting the volume. I have to unplug the earpads, press play, reduce the volume...Why not make the WPS the default screen (not the filebrowser!) just like in the old iRiver Software? Volume would be accessible all the time, not only when playing.

The menus return to the screen from where they were called. You return from a menu by pressing Stop (or Left).
Thus, if you call a menu from the WPS, you press Stop to leave the menu and go back to the WPS. The same goes if you open the menu from the browser.

Even if the WPS were the default screen, volume would still not be accessible from within the menu system or the file browser. On some platforms, there are simply not enough buttons to dedicate buttons exclusively to controlling volume.
In any event, an easy solution to your problem would be to create a .cfg file that adjusts the volume to your preferred level for headphone listening. Name this something like 1volume -20.cfg and save it in your file browser. It should then be right at the top of your file browser list when you turn your player on, and you can adjust your volume with a single click.

I think you missed the point. IMHO nieroster complained about the unability to get to the WPS without starting a playback (to just set the volume). He did not mention the theoretical possibility to set the volume from the file browser.
Although I prefer the file browser to be the main screen I consider nieroster's remark to be very reasonable. Anyway your solution should be sufficient :D
