Removing filters from the Database Veiw

[voxel486]

Hi, I'm a n00b.

I am trying to simplify the layout for the database navigation.
Right now, it says:

artist
album artist
album
genre
composer
track
year
user rating
recently added
A to Z...
History...
Same as Current...
Search...
Custom view...

I'm looking for it to say a lot less, kinda like the database navigation for Sandisks and/or iPod type nav, like

artist
album
track
genre

how can I change the original /.rockbox/tagnavi.config file or the /.rockbox/tagnavi_custom.config file so that it only has these organization functions for the database, and i don't want them in the custom view section, i ONLY want those 4.

and also, i dunno how to get album art to show, do I need the pictures to be in the song files metadata?

I have a Sansa e250, Dreamweaver (if i need to change the .config file), and i rock Win XP.

Thanks in advance

You can open the .config files in a text editor. That combined with the DataBase wiki page should give you enough information to fix it how you like.

i tried doing that, but when i copied the file named "tagnavi_custom.config" and put it on the disk of the Sansa, but then the player wouldn't boot past the RockBox splashscreen.

This shouldn't affect booting at all. Have you tried resetting settings so the database isn't in active yet?

sounds to me like the eternal booting loop.

did you make sure you deleted the following line from the tagnavi_custom.config?

%include "/.rockbox/tagnavi_custom.config"
