Can I simply copy all my files from my Sansa into another Sansa?
« on: November 22, 2007, 11:52:59 AM »
I currently have a Sansa 280e (8GB) player that's running great with the latest Rockbox build. I have just ordered a Sansa 260e (4GB) player. I was wondering, if I simply deleted all the files from the 260e, and copied and dragged all the files and folders from my 280e into the 260e, will Rockbox load the same way as it currently does on my 280e? In other words, do I need to re-install the Rockbox firmware, and go through the entire process the same way as I did with my 280e, or would this shortcut work the same? Thanks for the info guys!

You'll have to run sansapatcher again, but after that, you can simply copy over your .rockbox directory and keep all of your WPSs and settings and the like.

Thanks Krazykit, I wasn't sure since the 260e is a different GB size than the 280e, whether simply dragging all the files over would make Rockbox in the 260e perform the same as the 280. Thanks for confirming that for me!
