The File View menu deals with options relating to how the File Browser
displays files.
%
\begin{description}
\item[Sort Case Sensitive:]
If this option is set to ``Yes'', all files that start with upper case
letters will be listed first, followed by all files that begin with lower
case letters. If this option is set to NO, then case will be ignored when
sorting files.
\item[Sort Directories:]
This option controls how Rockbox sorts folders. The default is to sort
them alphabetically. ``By date'' sorts them with the oldest folder first.
``By newest date'' sorts them with the newest folder first.
\item[Sort Files:]
This option controls how Rockbox sorts files. All of the options for
``Sort Directories'' are available in this option. In addition, there
is a ``By type'' option which sorts files alphabetically by their type
(such as .mp3) then alphabetically within each type.
\item[\label{ref:ShowFiles}Show Files:]
This option controls which files are displayed in the File Browser.

\begin{description}
\item[All:] The File Browser displays all files and directories.
Extensions are shown. No files or directories are hidden.
\item[ID3 Database:] This shows the files based on the Tag Cache
information, thus disabling the file browser. You can browse the
database by various Tags and search them. Only information present
in music file tags are shown. For a detailed description of Tag Cache
refer to page \pageref{ref:tagcache}.
\item[Playlists:] The File Browser displays only directories and playlists,
for simplified navigation.
\item[Music:] The File Browser displays only folders, \fname{.m3u} files
and the supported \emph{audio} file formats. Extensions are stripped.
Files and directories starting with \fname{.} or with the ``hidden''
flag set are hidden.
\item[Supported:] The File Browser displays all directories and files
supported by Rockbox (see page \pageref{ref:Supportedfileformats}).
Files and directories starting with \fname{.} or with the ``hidden''
flag set are hidden.
\end{description}
\item[Follow Playlist:]
This option determine what directory the File Browser displays first.
If Follow Playlist is set to YES, when you enter the File Browser from
the WPS, you will find yourself in the same directory as the currently
playing file. If Follow Playlist is set to NO, when you enter the File
Browser from the WPS, you will find yourself in the directory you were
in when you last left the File Browser.
\item[Show Icons:]
Rockbox has the ability to display an icon to the left of the file
in the File Browser. For details of these icons, please see page
\pageref{ref:Supportedfileformats}.
\item[Tag Cache: ]This option allows you to control whether the Tag Cache is stored
in RAM or on disk. See page \pageref{ref:tagcache} for more information about using
the Tag Cache.
