Shortcuts are loaded from the file /.rockbox/shortcuts.txt which lists each item
to be displayed. Each shortcut looks like the following:
Example
[shortcut]
type: <shortcut type>
data: <what the shortcut actually links to>
name: <what the shortcut should be displayed as>
icon: <number of the theme icon to use (see ZCustomIcons)>
talkclip: <filename of a talk clip to speak when voice menus are enabled>
Only “type” and “data” are required (except if type is “separator” in which case “data”
is also not required).
Available types are:
file data is the name of the file to “run”
browse data is the file or the folder to open the file browser at
playlist menu data is the file or the folder to open the “Current Playlist” context menu
