Scan-free folder

<< < (2/3) > >>

markun:
LinusN had suggested to give them better names like "database.exclude" and "database.include" but I guess it's a bit late for that now.

GodEater:
Perhaps this is a feature RockboxUtility could offer over and above it's current installation / upgrade method, which is essentially just unzipping a new build over the top of the old one.

If we introduce feature changes like a rename of those files from database.ignore/unignore to database.exclude/include then RBUtility could offer a post install script to run to change all existing instances on the DAP to the new name.

If we make the scripting feature of this dynamic enough, it might be a solution for things like when we break WPS syntax too. As I understand it we have a script which fixes the issues brought up by the recent %pb / conditional view ports changes too, so RBUtil could run this as part of the upgrade procedure to fix all the WPS it finds?

Anyone else think that this idea has merit ?

chipotle101202:
Is this how you prevent a folder from being used when you put your DAP on random by folder?

MarcGuay:
No, you need to use the random_folder_advance_config plugin for that.  It's under Plugins -> Applications.  I added a brief description to the manual yesterday, it should show up in the next daily edition.

No, that is done by removing the directory from the list in the random_folder_advance_config plugin.
There are 3 ways to do this:
1 - Use the "Edit Folder List" function in the plugin.
2 - Export the list, edit the exported text file (.rockbox/folder_advance_list.txt) with a text editor and then import it again.
3 - set up a folder_advance_dir.txt file in the .rockbox directory (like described here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7074 ) and generate the folder list again using the plugin.

(I personally prefer 3)
