This view can be found in the Files perspective. It allows to select or browse devices upon a physical point of view. In this view, you will find:
- Devices as you created them in the Device view. Devices contain directories.
- Directories
- Audio files that Jajuk supports
- Playlists
Notes:
- Cover files are not visible in the tree
- Tree configuration (nodes expands, collapses) is saved for next Jajuk session
You can select any item in the tree, all contextual menu action will be applied recursively. For example, if you selected both your ROCK main directory and your POP main directory, then you right click and select Play shuffle, Jajuk will play randomly all your ROCK and POP tracks.
