   3   Bookmarks allow you to save your current position within a track so that
   4   you can return to it at a later time. Bookmarks are saved on a per directory
   5   basis or for individual (saved) playlists.
   6   They are stored next to the directory/playlist they reference.
   7   You can store multiple bookmarks for the same track.\\*
   8
   9   \note{Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser,
  10         and does not currently work for tracks launched via the
  11         database. In addition, they do not currently work with dynamic
  12         playlists.\\*}

  14   \begin{description}
  15   \item [Bookmark on Stop.] This option controls whether Rockbox writes a
  16     bookmark to the disk when playback is stopped. Setting this to
  17     \setting{No} turns automatic bookmarking completely off. In contrast
  18     \setting{Yes} turns automatic bookmarking on while \setting{Ask}
  19     asks on stopping the track if a bookmark should be created.
  20     With the above options \setting{Yes} and \setting{Ask} if there is an existing
  21     \fname{.bmark} file the current position information will be added to the
  22     front of the existing list, up to the maximum number of allowed bookmarks
  23     per file (currently 10). If no \fname{.bmark} file exists, one will be
  24     created with the new bookmark information. Finally, if the
  25     \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  26      option is enabled, the bookmarking
  27     information will be added to recent bookmarks list.
  28     \begin{description}
  29       \item[Yes -- Recent Only.]
  30             Turns on automatic bookmarking -- One bookmark only
  31       \item[Ask -- Recent Only.]
  32             Asks if a bookmark should be created when stopping track --
  33             One bookmark only
  34     \end{description}
  35     With the two \setting{Recent Only} options, nothing is written to the
  36     \fname{.bmark} file. If the \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  37     option is enabled, the bookmarking information will however be added to
  38     recent bookmarks list.
  39     \note{The \setting{Resume} function remembers your position in the most
  40       recently accessed track regardless of how the \setting{Bookmark on Stop}
  41       option is set.}
  42
  43   \item [Load Last Bookmark.]
  44
  45   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox
  46   automatically returns to the position of the last bookmark within a file
  47   when that file is played.
  48
  49   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Ask}, Rockbox will
  50   give the user the option of starting from the beginning of the track
  51   of or from the bookmark.
  52
  53   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{No}, playback always
  54   starts from the beginning of the track, and the user must play the bookmark
  55   or use the \setting{Load Bookmark} function in the Main Menu, while the file
  56   is playing, to resume at the bookmarked location.
  57
  58   \item [Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks.]
  59
  60   This list of Most Recent Bookmarks (MRB's) may be accessed through the
  61   \setting{Recent Bookmarks} option of the \setting{Bookmarks} sub menu of the
  62   Main Menu. When set to \setting{Yes} each new bookmark will be added to the
  63   MRB list. Setting this to \setting{No} disables the addition of bookmarks to
  64   the MRB list. \setting{Unique Only} behaves like the \setting{Yes} setting
  65   but in addition all older entries for the current (dynamic) playlist will
  66   be removed from the MRB whenever a new entry is added.
  67
  68   \item [Bookmark list keys.] The following keys can be used to navigate in
  69   any bookmark list.\\
  70 \begin{table}
  71     \begin{btnmap}{}{}
  72       \ActionStdNext
  73       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdNext}
  74       & Selects the next bookmark.\\
  75       %
  76       \ActionStdPrev
  77       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdPrev}
  78       & Selects the previous bookmark.\\
  79       %
  80       \ActionStdOk
  81       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdOk}
  82       & Resumes from the selected bookmark.\\
  83       %
  84       \ActionStdCancel
  85       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdCancel}
  86       & Exits Recent Bookmark menu\\
  87       %
  88       \nopt{GIGABEAT_S_PAD}{\ActionBmDelete
  89       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCBmDelete}
  90       & Deletes the currently selected bookmark\\}
  91       %
  92       \ActionStdContext
  93       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdContext}
  94       & Enters the context menu for the selected bookmark.\\
  95     \end{btnmap}
  96 \end{table}
  97
  98 There are two options in the context menu:\\*
  99
 100   \setting{Resume} will commence playback of the currently selected bookmark entry.
 101
 102   \setting{Delete} will remove the currently selected bookmark entry from the list.
