Creative ZEN

@Chrisjj: can you try to entirely remove the .rockbox directory and do a fresh install ? I cannot reproduce this crash on my version. Also make sure you use the default theme (cabbie) when reporting bugs, themes tends to introduce unrelated bugs.

Have done. No change. I've added further details to the report.

Which existing manual is most accurate for the Creative ZEN (which AFAICT does not yet have a manual)?
I've tried e.g. http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansae200v2/rockbox-buildch3.html#x5-240003 but it refers to items with names such as PLAYLIST (menu) and VIEW CURRENT PLAYLIST (command) which do not appear in the Creative ZEN version.
Thanks.

Generally speaking, that isn't going to work. Or work well at least. The reason we have device specific manuals as opposed to one giant monolithic manual is because features and controls can differ greatly between ports.
In regard to the playlist stuff you mentioned, that is a rather unfortunate oversight (of which the manuals contain many) caused by the addition of the Playlist Catalogue feature which was introduced without any documentation. Which flatly shouldn't have happened. I apologise.
I am going to do a push in the near future and look for discrepancies or failings in the documentation where and when I can, but it kinda sucks as no one likes having to do work that is cleaning up after others. I would much rather work on things that interest me, but it pains me to see things like this happen and I can't expect anyone else to do any work that I'm not prepared to do...so thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Understood. I was looking for works best, even if that's not works well :).

When there's a manual for the Creative ZEN port, I'd be able to help and will be happy to do so.
