No, because most devs think it's a bad idea.

I did implement it _ages_ ago (dont ask for the patch, its long gone), and im one of the few (only?) devs that love the idea..

nls:
ah, didn't know that, I'm not against this feature but I don't think I would use it that much, don't really need it.

cc:

Thanks for the comments guys... of course I did it anyway  ;D

Came in at just 50 lines of code.

In the end I went for putting the items straight into the root menu, although it would be trivial to make it add to a dedicated menu or the settings menu instead/as well. The cfg file entries look like this:


--- Code: ---# put frequently used settings into root directory
brightness: +root
invert: +root
autocreate bookmarks: +root
autoload bookmarks: +root
scan min step: +root

--- End code ---

I lived with it a bit, found some wrinkles and added a feature to let you put the menu that contains a setting (using *root).

The patch in the tracker: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8011

Here's a screenshot:



And the /.rockbox/fixed.cfg file:


--- Quote ---brightness: +root
invert: +root
autoload bookmarks: *root
foreground color: *root
scan min step: +root
party mode: +root

--- End quote ---

bluebrother:
While it's called root menu in the source (due to historical reasons) we don't consider having a root menu -- if that menu (the main menu) would be a root menu it would behave slightly different. So there is no root menu. Just for completeness.
