\section{\label{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual}Bookmarking}
Bookmarks allow you to save your current position within a track so that
you can return to it at a later time. Bookmarks are saved on a per directory
basis or for individual (saved) playlists.
They are stored next to the directory/playlist they reference.
You can store multiple bookmarks for the same track.\\*
\note{Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser,
and does not currently work for tracks launched via the
database. In addition, they do not currently work with dynamic
playlists.\\*}
\begin{description}
\item [Bookmark on Stop.] This option controls whether Rockbox writes a
bookmark to the disk when playback is stopped. Setting this to
\setting{No} turns automatic bookmarking completely off. In contrast
\setting{Yes} turns automatic bookmarking on while \setting{Ask}
asks on stopping the track if a bookmark should be created.
With the above options \setting{Yes} and \setting{Ask} if there is an existing
\fname{.bmark} file the current position information will be added to the
front of the existing list, up to the maximum number of allowed bookmarks
per file (currently 10). If no \fname{.bmark} file exists, one will be
created with the new bookmark information. Finally, if the
\setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
option is enabled, the bookmarking
information will be added to recent bookmarks list.
\begin{description}
\item[Yes -- Recent Only.]
Turns on automatic bookmarking -- One bookmark only
\item[Ask -- Recent Only.]
Asks if a bookmark should be created when stopping track --
One bookmark only
\end{description}
With the two \setting{Recent Only} options, nothing is written to the
\fname{.bmark} file. If the \setting{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
option is enabled, the bookmarking information will however be added to
recent bookmarks list.
\note{The \setting{Resume} function remembers your position in the most
recently accessed track regardless of how the \setting{Bookmark on Stop}
option is set.}
\item [Load Last Bookmark.]
When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Yes}, Rockbox
automatically returns to the position of the last bookmark within a file
when that file is played.
When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{Ask}, Rockbox will
give the user the option of starting from the beginning of the track
of or from the bookmark.
When the \setting{Load Last Bookmark} option is set to \setting{No}, playback always
starts from the beginning of the track, and the user must play the bookmark
or use the \setting{Load Bookmark} function in the Main Menu, while the file
is playing, to resume at the bookmarked location.
\item [Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks.]
This list of Most Recent Bookmarks (MRB's) may be accessed through the
\setting{Recent Bookmarks} option of the \setting{Bookmarks} sub menu of the
Main Menu. When set to \setting{Yes} each new bookmark will be added to the
MRB list. Setting this to \setting{No} disables the addition of bookmarks to
the MRB list. \setting{Unique Only} behaves like the \setting{Yes} setting
but in addition all older entries for the current (dynamic) playlist will
be removed from the MRB whenever a new entry is added.
\item [Bookmark list keys.] The following keys can be used to navigate in
any bookmark list.\\
\begin{table}
\begin{btnmap}{}{}
\ActionStdNext
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdNext}
& Selects the next bookmark.\\
%
\ActionStdPrev
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdPrev}
& Selects the previous bookmark.\\
%
\ActionStdOk
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdOk}
& Resumes from the selected bookmark.\\
%
\ActionStdCancel
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdCancel}
& Exits Recent Bookmark menu\\
%
\nopt{GIGABEAT_S_PAD}{\ActionBmDelete
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCBmDelete}
& Deletes the currently selected bookmark\\}
%
\ActionStdContext
\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCStdContext}
& Enters the context menu for the selected bookmark.\\
\end{btnmap}
\end{table}
There are two options in the context menu:\\*
\setting{Resume} will commence playback of the currently selected bookmark entry.
\setting{Delete} will remove the currently selected bookmark entry from the list.
