   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, they are stored in the same directory as the files they reference.
   6   You can store multiple bookmarks for the same track.
   7   \begin{description}
   8   \item [Bookmark on Stop. ]This option controls whether Rockbox writes a
   9     bookmark to the disk when playback is stopped. Setting this to
  10     \setting{No} turns automatic bookmarking completely off. In contrast
  11     \setting{Yes} turns automatic bookmarking on while \setting{Ask}
  12     asks on stopping the track if a bookmark should be created.
  13     With the above options \setting{Yes} and \setting{Ask} if there is an existing
  14     \fname{.bmark} file the current position information will be added to the
  15     front of the existing list, up to the maximum number of allowed bookmarks
  16     per file (currently 10). If no \fname{.bmark} file exists, one will be
  17     created with the new bookmark information. Finally, if the
  18     \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  19      option is enabled, the bookmarking
  20     information will be added to recent bookmarks list.
  21     \begin{description}
  22       \item[Yes -- Recent Only.]
  23             Turns on automatic bookmarking -- One bookmark only
  24       \item[Ask -- Recent Only.]
  25             Asks if a bookmark should be created when stopping track --
  26             One bookmark only
  27     \end{description}
  28     With the two \setting{Recent Only} options, nothing is written to the
  29     \fname{.bmark} file. If the \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  30     option is enabled, the bookmarking information will however be added to
  31     recent bookmarks list.
  32     \note{The \setting{Resume} function remembers your position in the most
  33       recently accessed track regardless of how the \setting{Bookmark on Stop}
  34       option is set.}
  35
  36   \item [Load Last Bookmark. ]
  37
  38   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox
  39   automatically returns to the position of the last bookmark within a file
  40   when that file is played.
  41
  42   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Ask}, Rockbox will
  43   give the user the option of starting from the beginning of the track
  44   of or from the bookmark.
  45
  46   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{No}, playback always
  47   starts from the beginning of the track, and the user must play the bookmark
  48   or use the \setting{Load Bookmark} function in the Main Menu, while the file
  49   is playing, to resume at the bookmarked location.
  50
  51   \item [Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks. ]
  52
  53   This list of Most Recent Bookmarks (MRB's) may be accessed through the
  54   \setting{Recent Bookmarks} option of the \setting{Bookmarks} sub menu of the
  55   Main Menu. When set to \setting{Yes} each new bookmark will be added to the
  56   MRB list. Setting this to \setting{No} disables the addition of bookmarks to
  57   the MRB list. \setting{Unique Only} will remove an old bookmark for the current
  58   track from the MRB list and replace it with the new one if a bookmark in the
  59   MRB list already existed. Otherwise this will behave like the
  60   \setting{Yes} setting.
