12.3.1. Shortcuts
The Shortcuts Plugin allows you to jump to places within the file browser without having
to navigate there manually. The plugin works with
.link
files. A
.link
file is just a
text file with every line containing the name of the file or the directory you want to
quickly jump to. All names should be full absolute names, i.e. they should start with a
/
. Directory names should also end with a
/
.
How to create
.link
files
You can use your favourite text editor to create a
.link
file on the PC an then copy
the file to the player. Or you can use the context menu on either a file or a directory in
the file browser tree, and use the “Add to shortcuts” menu option. This will append a
line with the full name of the file or the directory to the
shortcuts.link
file in the root
directory of the player. (The file will be created if it does not exist yet.) You can later
rename the automatically created
shortcuts.link
file or move it to another directory
if you wish. Subsequent calls of the context menu will create it again.
How to use
.link
files, i.e. jump to desired places
To use a
.link
file just “play” it from the file browser. This will show you a list with the
entries in the file. Selecting one of them will then exit the plugin and leave you within
the directory selected, or with the file selected in the file browser. You can then play
the file or do with it whatever you want. The file will not be “played” automatically.
If the
.link
file contains only one entry no list will be shown, you will directly jump
to that location. The file
shortcuts.link
in the root directory is an exception. After
