e280 2gb microsd-separate-folder-browsing question
« on: November 07, 2007, 08:40:26 AM »
Hi... A couple of days ago I sucessfully rockboxed my 8gb e280r, and am very happy with it so far... but there's one (and only one) aspect of the original firmware that I'm missing.  

I suppose this might be a side effect of my favorite thing about Rockbox--that it uses a file-tree/folder method of browsing, rather than the pain-in-the-ass-ID tag one that was forcing me to constantly tag mp3s into albums... But, with the original firmware, I could browse through a combined/alphabetized list of albums that compiled the enitre contents of the 2gb microsd with the regular 8gb into a single list of albums.  Now--unless there's something I'm missing--I need to browse the 2gb and the 8gb separately, rather than being able to browse through and choose an album from a list that shows all the lps (or 'folders') on my player.  Perhaps this is a minor point, but since--when I'm deciding what album to listen to I don't care which card it's on--having to browse through the 8gb, go back to the menu, then browse through the 2gb separately is a minor annoyance.

But maybe there is a way to browse through all the folders on the player that I don't know?

thanks,
b

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Yes, but that's the only place to see all content on your player in one tree.

You can't do it from the file viewer.

Ok... so there's no way to see all the 'folders' on the two 8gb and 2gb at at once, only all the id-tagged albums, right?
