Short SELECT doesn't return to database browser

DervishD:
Hi all :)

This is my second (and last, hopefully) problem with the Database.

I browse my music with the Database, and when I'm playing a song and I do a short "SELECT" press, the database browser is presented to me. I browse again and choose new songs, etc.

After doing the above I turn off my iAudio X5V. When I turn it on again, the last song (well, playlist) is resumed, and that's great, that's how I have it configured. The problem is that if I do a short "SELECT" now, the FILE browser is presented and not the Database browser :((( That is, a turn off and on again and Rockbox forgets that I was browsing music using the Database and not the File browser. As soon as I browse and play again using the Database, short "SELECT" gets me to the Database browser and not the File browser... until I turn off and on the player again.

I have the "Follow playlist" option turned on (I need it right now), may this be the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance :)))

I imagine this is the problem as you surmise, since it instructs the file browser to keep changing directory to the file currently being played.

I've tested and no, that's not the problem. Disabling the option just makes short SELECT return to the root directory. After a turn off and turn on is not possible to go back to the Database browser and not the File browser, it seems.

I have the feeling that I'm missing something very obvious...

Thanks anyway for your answer, I'll keep investigating! ;)

Lear:
When you press select, the WPS exits with the message "return to the previous browser". This value (i.e., file or database browser) doesn't persist between boots and defaults to file browser, which explains the behavior you see. So there's not much you can do - except fix the code, of course. :) (Or perhaps file a bug report/feature request and wait for someone else to fix it.)

JdGordon:
Lear is correct.. but I don't think its a bug worth fixing.
