Set the selected
bmp
file as background image. The bitmaps need to
meet the conditions explained in section
11.1.5
(page

Open with.
Runs a viewer plugin on the file. Normally, when a file is selected in Rock-
box, Rockbox automatically detects the file type and runs the appropriate plugin.
The
Open With
function can be used to override the default action and select a
viewer by hand. For example, this function can be used to view a text file even if
the file has a non-standard extension (i.e., the file has an extension of something
other than
.txt
). See section
10.3
(page
127
) for more details on viewers.
Create Directory.
Create a new directory in the current directory on the disk.
Properties.
Shows properties such as size and the time and date of the last modification
for the selected file. If used on a directory, the number of files and subdirectories
will be shown, as well as the total size.
Add to Shortcuts.
Adds a link to the selected item in the
shortcuts.link
file. If the
file does not already exist it will be created in the root directory. Note that if you
create a shortcut to a file, Rockbox will not open it upon selecting, but simply
bring you to it’s location in the
File Browser
.
