2. Each line has the format “setting: value”.
3. Values must be within the ranges specified in this manual for each setting.
4. Lines starting with # are ignored. This lets you write comments into your config-
uration files.
Example of a configuration file:
Example
volume: 70
bass: 11
treble: 12
balance: 0
time format: 12hour
volume display: numeric
show files: supported
wps: /.rockbox/car.wps
lang: /.rockbox/afrikaans.lng
Note:
As you can see from the example, configuration files do not need to contain all
b
of the Rockbox options. You can create configuration files that change only certain set-
tings. So, for example, suppose you typically use the player at one volume in the car,
and another when using headphones. Further, suppose you like to use an inverse LCD
when you are in the car, and a regular LCD setting when you are using headphones. You
could create configuration files that control only the volume and LCD settings. Create a
few different files with different settings, give each file a different name (such as
car.cfg
,
headphones.cfg
, etc.), and you can then use the
Browse .cfg files
option to quickly
change settings.
A special case configuration file can be used to force a particular setting or settings
every time Rockbox starts up (e.g. to set the volume to a safe level). Format a new
configuration file as above with the required setting(s) and save it into the
/.rockbox
directory with the filename
fixed.cfg
.
11.3.3. The Manage Settings menu
The
Manage Settings
menu can be found in the
Main Menu
. The
Manage Set-
tings
menu allows you to save and load
.cfg
files.
Browse .cfg Files
Opens the
File Browser
in the
/.rockbox
directory and displays
all
.cfg
(configuration) files. Selecting a
.cfg
file will cause Rockbox to load the
settings contained in that file. Pressing
Left
or
On/Off
will exit back to the
Manage Settings
menu. See the
Write .cfg files
option on the
Manage
Settings
menu for details of how to save and edit a configuration file.
Reset Settings
This wipes the saved settings in the player and resets all settings to
their default values.
