affected by user activity, like navigating through the File Browser. When the
hard disk spins up to fill the audio buffer, it automatically spins down afterwards.
Directory Cache. Rockbox has the ability to cache the contents of your drive in RAM.
The Directory Cache takes a small amount of memory away from Rockbox
that would otherwise be used to buffer music, but it speeds up navigation in the
file browser by eliminating the slight pause between the time a navigation button
is pressed and the time Rockbox responds. Turning this setting on activates the
directory cache, and turning it off deactivates the directory cache.
Note: The first time you enable the directory cache, Rockbox will request a reboot
of the player and upon restarting take a few minutes to scan the drive. After this,
the directory cache will work in the background.
8.5.3. Limits
This sub menu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.
Max Entries in File Browser. This setting controls the limit on the number of files that
you can see in any particular directory in the file browser. You can configure the
size to be between 50 and 10,000 files in steps of 50. The default is 400. Higher
values will shorten the music buffer, so you should increase this setting only if you
have directories with a large number of files.
Max Playlist Size. This setting controls the maximum size of a playlist. The playlist
size can be between 1,000 and 32,000 files, in steps of 1,000 (default is 10,000).
Higher values will shorten the music buffer, so you should increase this setting only
if you have very large playlists.
Glyphs To Cache. This sets the default memory allocation size for fonts in unique
glyphs. This should be set to the number of unique language glyphs and punctu-
ation marks that are frequently displayed. The default is 250.
Note: You will need to restart your player for changes to Max Entries in File
Browser or Max Playlist Size to take effect while Glyphs To Cache will affect
the next font load.
8.5.4. Use Shortcuts Menu Instead of Quick Screen
This option activates the shortcuts menu instead of opening the quick screen when
enabled.
8.5.5. Car Adapter Mode
This option turns On and Off the car ignition auto stop function.
