There is  a method to autorun a plugin at startup, but you would need to set up a build environment, modify the source code and compile your modified build.

Llorean:
Just as a note, it's a very, very trivial change if I recall correctly.

Lope:
It would be nice to just have an option.
Because its just a few root folders. No need to scan the EVERY folder and file on internal and external storage doing ALL the checks that disktidy does, which will increase boot time a lot.
Just a little setting "delete empty root folders" would be awesome ;)

Edited first post, see complete folder list.

torne:
We don't generally add features to work around the behaviour of the original firmware if it doesn't otherwise impact Rockbox. This problem will be much less of an issue once Rockbox supports USB.

Instead of deleting the folders, mark them as hidden. This will make them no longer display in Rockbox (unless you set shown file types to All).

Lope:
Thanks torne. I've most of the folders hidden, now they don't display in RB.
The ##PORT# and ##MUSIC# folders don't appear in the mounted FAT32 volume in windows.
I tried creating them and making them hidden, but the OF still somehow makes these folders, which then display in RB.
If I plug the player in again, I see my hidden ##PORT# and ##MUSIC# folders, still hidden, with no subdirs. Weird.
At least its better.
I can delete them in RB and they don't return till I boot OF.

Where is the OF stored now? Any idea where these ##MUSIC# and ##PORT# folders are?
