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

  16   \begin{description}
  17   \item [Bookmark on Stop.] This option controls whether Rockbox writes a
  18     bookmark to the disk when playback is stopped. Setting this to
  19     \setting{No} turns automatic bookmarking completely off. In contrast
  20     \setting{Yes} turns automatic bookmarking on while \setting{Ask}
  21     asks on stopping the track if a bookmark should be created.
  22     With the above options \setting{Yes} and \setting{Ask} if there is an existing
  23     \fname{.bmark} file the current position information will be added to the
  24     front of the existing list, up to the maximum number of allowed bookmarks
  25     per file (currently 10). If no \fname{.bmark} file exists, one will be
  26     created with the new bookmark information. Finally, if the
  27     \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  28      option is enabled, the bookmarking
  29     information will be added to recent bookmarks list.
  30     \begin{description}
  31       \item[Yes -- Recent Only.]
  32             Turns on automatic bookmarking -- One bookmark only
  33       \item[Ask -- Recent Only.]
  34             Asks if a bookmark should be created when stopping track --
  35             One bookmark only
  36     \end{description}
  37     With the two \setting{Recent Only} options, nothing is written to the
  38     \fname{.bmark} file. If the \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
  39     option is enabled, the bookmarking information will however be added to
  40     recent bookmarks list.
  41     \note{The \setting{Resume} function remembers your position in the most
  42       recently accessed track regardless of how the \setting{Bookmark on Stop}
  43       option is set.}
  44
  45   \item [Load Last Bookmark.]
  46
  47   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox
  48   automatically returns to the position of the last bookmark within a file
  49   when that file is played.
  50
  51   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Ask}, Rockbox will
  52   give the user the option of starting from the beginning of the track
  53   of or from the bookmark.
  54
  55   When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{No}, playback always
  56   starts from the beginning of the track, and the user must play the bookmark
  57   or use the \setting{Load Bookmark} function in the Main Menu, while the file
  58   is playing, to resume at the bookmarked location.
  59
  60   \item [Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks.]
  61
  62   This list of Most Recent Bookmarks (MRB's) may be accessed through the
  63   \setting{Recent Bookmarks} option of the \setting{Bookmarks} sub menu of the
  64   Main Menu. When set to \setting{Yes} each new bookmark will be added to the
  65   MRB list. Setting this to \setting{No} disables the addition of bookmarks to
  66   the MRB list. \setting{Unique Only} behaves like the \setting{Yes} setting
  67   but in addition all older entries for the current (dynamic) playlist will
  68   be removed from the MRB whenever a new entry is added.
  69
  70   \item [Bookmark list keys.] The following keys can be used to navigate in
  71   any bookmark list.\\
  72 \begin{table}
  73     \begin{btnmap}{}{}
  74       \ActionStdNext
  75       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdNext}
  76       & Selects the next bookmark.\\
  77       %
  78       \ActionStdPrev
  79       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdPrev}
  80       & Selects the previous bookmark.\\
  81       %
  82       \ActionStdOk
  83       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdOk}
  84       & Resumes from the selected bookmark.\\
  85       %
  86       \ActionStdCancel
  87       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdCancel}
  88       & Exits Recent Bookmark menu\\
  89       %
  90       \nopt{GIGABEAT_S_PAD}{\ActionBmDelete
  91       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCBmDelete}
  92       & Deletes the currently selected bookmark\\}
  93       %
  94       \ActionStdContext
  95       \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdContext}
  96       & Enters the context menu for the selected bookmark.\\
  97     \end{btnmap}
  98 \end{table}
  99
 100 There are two options in the context menu:\\*
 101
 102   \setting{Resume} will commence playback of the currently selected bookmark entry.
 103
 104   \setting{Delete} will remove the currently selected bookmark entry from the list.
