I think it would be useful for the file browser to remember the position across restarts.

I dont think this should be the default behavour, but if te start screen is set to the file browser then im OK with this also.
edit: I had a quick look at doing this and it can be done in two ways.. neither is very nice :p

The first is moving the current_folder buffer from root_menu.c into global_settings (or glabal_status) the other is doing "extern char *current_folder" in settings_list.c

Hello jdgordon,

I don't want to nerve you. But did you already try this?
I'm so anxious to get this feature soon...

I can understand your point of view, jdgordon.

So, is there any chance at all to get this feature in the near future?

Anyone can code the feature and submit a patch.

Does that mean, there is hope, Llorean?

What Llorean is hinting at (if somewhat obliquely), is that if you want it badly enough - make it happen yourself.

I wasn't saying that he necessarily should do it himself.

Just that you can always have hope that somebody might, if they want it badly enough. :)
Just, probably not JdGordon, at least not soon.

I also suspect that the patch wouldn't likely be accepted into the core rockbox code base.

I just thought, another experienced developer could do this...

not necessarily.. as long as it was done properly I wouldnt have a problem with it being commited...

Yes they could - but only if they wanted to. Rockbox does not get features just because a user wants them. It gets features as developers become interested in implementing them.

@GodEater
At least Linus seems to consider this feature as useful...

yes, but most (all?) the commiters have todo lists that are huge.... so its all about priorities.. and I imagine this sort of feature wouldnt be too high a priotirty...

your best bet is to find someone who can code and wants the feature.. then head off to te patch tracker and submit the patch.

If an album finishes that you launched from the file tree, you stopped it at some point but resumed by pressing play from within the file tree, you get returned to the same position in the file tree as you were when you resumed - but not from the directory in which the song you are listening to i.e. follow playlist is not respected.

If an album finishes that you launched from the file tree, you stopped it at some point but resumed from the root menu (i.e. you had the player turned off at some point), when the album finishes you get sent back to the root menu, and not to where you were in the file tree.

I just tested these two situations as I understand them (as well as restarting the player inbetween) and in both cases was left with the selector on the last song of the playlist, as was requested in this thread as well as the Flyspray task (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6882).  Is it safe to assume that the behavior has since changed?

Hi guys,

in my opinion nothing has been fixed.

I expected to find myself in the directory with the actual playing playlist file, when pausing/finishing it. This is OK, but just still works within the same session. After restarting the player, I still find myself in the main menu or in the root menu. This is the old behavior

Maybe, there are some (new) settings to do first?
