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