I am having a problem saving a Playlist because it doesn't save the name at all & I have tried different ways still no change I did it like this: in create a Playlist All Music.m3u8 & it didn't save.
Also I tried this: //Playlist.m3u8 & that didn't save either.
Also I tried this: //Playlist All Music.m3u8 & that didn't save either.

The problem I had with the Playlist not showing up in the Playlist Catalogue is working now after I cut the MP3 player & cut it back on just now.

I'm not sure I understand, but are you asking what the button mapping for the rockbox virtual keyboard?  If so, see here:

I don't believe that that link makes the solution here any more obvious.

In fact, it doesn't answer it at all. I'm not sure that any place in the manual does.

If I understand the issue correctly, I believe that OP is unable to actually save the file after renaming it, or even at all, and admittedly it is completely non-obvious.

In order to save a file in the virtual keyboard, one must be in line edit mode and then use the Play key in order to save. I don't blame anyone for not being able to discover this on their own, as it is completely unintuitive.


To summarize, in order to save a file or playlist after renaming it, you must:

Be in line edit mode (as in, not character picker mode)
Use the Play key to save.

I shall endeavour to remember to add a note to the manual detailing this fact.
