12.3.1. Shortcuts
The Shortcuts Plugin allows you to jump to places within the file browser without having
to navigate there manually. The plugin works with .link files. A .link file is just a
text file with every line containing the name of the file or the directory you want to
quickly jump to. All names should be full absolute names, i.e. they should start with a
/. Directory names should also end with a /.
How to create .link files
You can use your favourite text editor to create a .link file on the PC an then copy
the file to the player. Or you can use the context menu on either a file or a directory in
the file browser tree, and use the “Add to shortcuts” menu option. This will append a
line with the full name of the file or the directory to the shortcuts.link file in the root
directory of the player. (The file will be created if it does not exist yet.) You can later
rename the automatically created shortcuts.link file or move it to another directory
if you wish. Subsequent calls of the context menu will create it again.
How to use .link files, i.e. jump to desired places
To use a .link file just “play” it from the file browser. This will show you a list with the
entries in the file. Selecting one of them will then exit the plugin and leave you within
