Hide <All tracks> and <Random>

[Portasmith]

In the database view, is there any way to hide the <All tracks> and <Random> items?  I just want to see the available albums/tracks, etc.  I didn't see anything I could use in tagnavi.config

Thanks.

This is on a Sansa c250 with Rockbox r20705.

EDIT: Okay, I made myself a patch for this, which I compiled and works perfect.  Since this isn't something that all users would want (nor something that would make it into a release), should/can I post this to the patch tracker?  Or can I just post it here in the forums for if another user would want to remove this functionality?

I would say that if your fix is changing tagnavi.config then it'd be best to post that in the Wiki.
If it's a patch against svn code then post it in Patches.

The forums shouldn't be used for patches, as each thread will dip "under the radar" for most users after they're on page 2. So keeping this information in the Wiki is encouraged.

If it's a patch against svn code then post it in Patches.

Yeah, it is.  I just wasn't sure if the patches system was only to be used for patching bugs, or if it could be used also for things like this (an optional customization)?  If it's the latter, then I'll post it.

there hasnt been much talk about requesting this feature, but depending how small it is, if those items can be disable with a tagnavi.config *something* then the patch might be a nice addition

I know this is an old post, but I want to do exactly this for my clip+.

I never use these menu items, so it's annoying having them right at the top of the database menu.

Any chance of posting the patch to the tracker?  Otherwise if you could post here what you did, then I can compile my own build.

Hi I'd like to do this too but can't find it in the patches. Would be great if the poster could upload the patch...

[mirrors]

I would love to know this as well.

I worked it out in the end.  It's in the tagtree.c file, simply remove all of the following lines:

Code: [Select]

     if (tag != tag_title && tag != tag_filename)
     {
         if (offset == 0)
         {
             dptr->newtable = ALLSUBENTRIES;
             dptr->name = str(LANG_TAGNAVI_ALL_TRACKS);
             dptr++;
             current_entry_count++;
         }
         if (offset <= 1)
         {
             dptr->newtable = NAVIBROWSE;
             dptr->name = str(LANG_TAGNAVI_RANDOM);
             dptr->extraseek = -1;
             dptr++;
             current_entry_count++;
         }
         special_entry_count+=2;
     }
     
total_count += special_entry_count;

I made a patch for this, but am away from my computer for a week. I can post it at the weekend if people still want it.

Where exactly is this file located? I can't seem to find it... 

[Chronon]

It's in the apps directory.

In the source code, you will need to edit it then build Rockbox.

[sach160]

Woah - compiling source code looks tricky, I'm not that technically minded... I'm sure I'd mess it up. Is there no easier way of achieving this for the casual Rockbox user?

[ted209]

You could try the build I made - it also has a few other patches included.  I've been using it for the last few days without issues:

Many thanks Ted - from your post I see the SD card isn't working on this build and I need my SD card. Is the link you posted the best place to keep an eye on for any updates you make to your build? Cheers.

[ted209]

I think you misread my post (it wasn't very clear!).  My SD card does work on that build, I was just stating that if I compiled a newer version, then the SD card no longer worked.
