Strange bookmark behavior

--- Quote from: Llorean on February 21, 2008, 10:00:21 PM ---If you don't want features to break, keep your old builds around before updating. Seriously, this is unreleased software, it's more or less your own responsibility to keep old versions around if you need them. Development moves forward, it's always possible to compile your old build from source because we keep every source change archived. But the archived builds will pretty much just go back a month. They're for short term significant problems. If a feature breaks, you have immediate access to the one before. Honestly, you had 30 days to roll back after bookmarking broke.
Anyway, the best solution is to help fix it.

Sorry boss....I didn't mean to look like I was whining about it and wanting someone to solve my problems for me. That wasn't my intention at all. I appreciate your viewpoint, I just thought I'd ask because I'm pretty new to Rockbox.
And I assure you many times over, if I knew a thing about C++ or whatever language this is written in, I'd be off the bench in an instant playing my part. However, since I don't, I'll extend a huge thanks to anybody who actually dedicates time to this and I'll take the fix when it comes. Seriously, I just wanted to know if it was possible to have that older archive. It's not, that's cool. I'll just have to chill until the solution comes in it's own due time (since the words "compile your own build from source" don't mean anything to someone with my level of experience).
AlexP:
I am just guessing, but I reckon 30 days was chosen as a reasonable compromise between having old builds available, but not wasting loads of space etc. keeping really old ones.
Why don't you give compiling a try? I promise it isn't too hard :P On windows, the VMWare platform is a reasonable method of doing it, see here:

Huh....yeah.....that seems like it's worth giving it a shot in the meantime while I wait.
Good call.
Taslow:
A really nice fellow Rockboxer emailed me a build for the e200 series from Sansa that has perfectly functioning bookmarks. Anybody with a similar problem can drop me a line and I'll send it along, since the appropriate builds are too old to be archived here now. onmywayup@gmail.com

The current build should now have fixed this- can anyone confirm?
