\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. \opt{swcodec}{Bookmarks also store
rate, pitch and speed information from the \setting{Pitch Screen} (see
\reference{sec:pitchscreen}).} Bookmarks are saved on a per directory
basis or for individual (saved) playlists. You can store multiple bookmarks,
even for the same track. When there's already a bookmark for a directory or
playlist, new bookmarks are added before existing ones.
Bookmarks are stored next to the directory or playlist they reference, in a
file with the same name as the directory or playlist and a ``.bmark''
extension. To load a bookmark, select the bookmark file and then select
the bookmark to load. There are other ways to load a bookmarks mentioned
below.
\note{Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser,
and does not work for tracks launched via the
database. In addition, they do not work with dynamic
playlists.}
\begin{description}
\item [Bookmark on Stop.]
This option controls whether Rockbox creates a bookmark when playback is
stopped manually.
\begin{description}
\item[No.]
Do not create bookmarks.
\item[Yes.]
Always create bookmarks.
\item[Ask.]
Ask if a bookmark should be created.
\item[Yes -- Recent Only.]
Always create a bookmark, but only in the recent bookmarks list.
\item[Ask -- Recent Only.]
Ask if a bookmark should be created, but only add it to the recent
bookmarks list.
\end{description}
When either \setting{Yes -- Recent Only} or \setting{Ask -- Recent Only}
is selected, bookmarks are only created if the \setting{Maintain a List
of Recent Bookmarks} is enabled.
\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 [Update on Stop.]
If set to ``No'', this setting has no effect and does not affect any other settings.
If set to ``Yes'', and the file
to which a new bookmark would be added already exists, this option overrides
the previous setting (\setting{Bookmark on Stop}) and unconditionally creates a
bookmark. This is useful if you don't generally want to create bookmarks but
only want to add them to already existing bookmark files. In this case you
should set the setting \setting{Bookmark on Stop} to ``No'' and the setting
\setting{Update on Stop} to ``Yes''.
\item [Load Last Bookmark.]
This option controls if Rockbox should automatically load a bookmark for
a file, when that file is played.
\begin{description}
\item[No]
Always start from the beginning of the track or playlist.
\item[Yes]
Automatically return to the position of the last bookmark. Start
from the beginning if there are no bookmarks.
\item[Ask]
Ask if playback should start from the beginning of the track or
from one of the bookmarks.
\end{description}
\item [Maintain a list of Recent Bookmarks.]
If this option is enabled, a list of the most recently created bookmarks
may be accessed through the \setting{Recent Bookmarks} option in the
\setting{Main Menu}. This list contains up to ten entries.
\begin{description}
\item[No]
Do not keep a list of recently used bookmarks. This also removes
the \setting{Recent Bookmarks} from the \setting{Main Menu}.
\item[Yes]
Keep a list of recently used bookmarks. Each new bookmark is added
to the list of recent bookmarks.
\item[Unique Only]
Add each new bookmark to the list of recently used bookmarks, but
only keep one bookmark from the current directory or playlist; any
previous entries are removed.
\end{description}
\end{description}
