Suggest to put current folder/file in titlebar of dialog, and rely on Q to back up the tree:
Current:
File Browser <Q
-------------
A:/
B:/
File Browser <Q
-------------
../
DCIM/
MISC/
...would become:
File Browser <Q
-------------
A:/
B:/
A:/ <Q
-------------
DCIM/
MISC/
... and at the file level:
M31-0945.RAW <Q
-------------
Delete
View
This saves having to 'dial' down every time when forward navigating, and it adds the current location in all cases.
I read codes.
The "File Browser" title string is not a just only for title string. It's also using identify the menu groups in the codes.
So I think , It can't do it . but we need a lot of codes to make it, I guess.
I just found this code.
static MENU_UPDATE_FUNC(update_action)
{
MENU_SET_VALUE("");
MENU_SET_HELP(gPath);
if (entry->selected) view_file = 0;
}
it means a , current browsing path is shown on bottom of the LCD. So may be I think that this request is able to close.
If you agree this , Please add [done] sign on the title bar.
That was a hack to get something similar with minimal effort. Not sure how to implement it cleanly.
How about eliminating the "../" item since Q does the same thing? That saves having to dial down every time when forward navigating.
Yes same meaning.
Because, If you first time to see the menu, You don't know the "Q means a Browse Up ".
It means a lot of asking are comming to forum, and devs need to asnwer it.
The <Q icon in the right side of the title bar always means to navigate up - everywhere in ML..
Yes. But this file browser has multiple hierarchy. So I think "../" sign is good for understanding it.
You have enough skills I guess. So you don't need it. But I think all of users has not enough skills like you.
I guess someone make a new feature request which is "pls add ../ " near future.
So I mean , it's a each persons preference.
Anyway, We must make a core functions for file browser itserlf(copy/move/multiple select/progress) first.
Then , we are looking for best GUI interface IMHO.
If you agree, your first request , Please close this request. And If you want to remove "../", make a new request when we finish to make a core functions of file browser.

Already deleted "../" by alex.(lol
File browser is great. Thanks for making it.
../ was natural looking for me, whether Q navigates up or not.
When playing back recorded raw video in the file browser, is there anyone to stop/cancel playback???
Sometimes I'd like to see what clip it is, before deleting, it takes a bit of time waiting for 1,000+ frames to play back.
