Strange bookmark behavior
solstone:
Just installed r16415 (for the Sansa e200), and bookmarks are working fine for me now. :)
Tested both regular memory and sdcard, power off and back on again. Resumed from the correct location every time so far.
Rockbox rocks, as do the many people working to make it work. Thanks all!

I agree completely.
The new version works very well. I knew this would eventually be fixed. The Rockbox team are incredibly talented and dedicated.
What some folks here absolutely fail to understand is that every build that comes out is essentially "beta" software.
The last official release of rockbox, was 2.5 and was for the ARCHOS only. So if you are running any other version, you are esentially running beta code.
And I must admit, that Rockbox "beta" is more stable than many other peoples "release code".
Rockbox is open source and relies on the volunteer work of dozens if not hundreds of people who do this for a hobby. That is why this board gets a little snippy when some little "snot" comes on and "demands" stuff be fixed, or asks step by step installation questions that are clearly stated in the manual, or asks the same question 600 times (like when is Rockbox going to be available for the 2nd Gen I-Pods????)
It's almost as if these goobers think that somehow because they own an MP3 player that the Rockbox team is somehow "obligated" to develop for them. Or, if they do own a "supported" player, they feel that the team is somehow obligated to "fix" any unsuspecting bugs immediately, or keep vast libraries of code available from the beginning of time.
Note to those users.....That's what your original firmware is for. You have an I-pod with issues? contact Apple. Don't like a feature on your Sansa? Let Sandisk know.
Rockbox has made my player much more versitile than the original firmware that came with the device. It's database handling and feature set outstrips the original feature set on my Sansa Rhapsody. Rockbox even supports SDHC, something the Sandisk swore up and down was not possible on that hardware.....
But even so, I would not for once ding Rockbox for what it "doesn't" do.
I have 15975 archived, so that I can roll back to it should this build have some unforseen issues. But once I am happy with this build, it too will go in my archive.
And a final thing.....Don't upgrade to the newest build, simply to change the number....If you see a feature set or bug fix you like, great, give it a try. But if you stick with a build you are happy with and only "upgrade" when you see a specific fix or feature set that directly affects you.
You'll be much more satisfied.
Thanks again to all for this great firmware/software. My hats off to you all.

Just as a note, we do in fact keep "vast libraries of code from the beginning of time". Every commit done to the rockbox code base since the project started (more or less) is available in svn. The thing we don't do (because disk space is a finite thing), is keep libraries of builds heading back into previous epochs. You get one month gratis. If you want a build from earlier, then you must show willing, and LEARN HOW TO BUILD IT YOURSELF.

Thank you for your kind words, but I must point out:

Rockbox works reasonably on the 2nd gen iPods. It doesn't however work on the 2nd/3rd gen Nanos, the Classic, and any shuffles :)
P.Opus:
What I meant to say was 2nd Gen I-Pod Nanos
Unfortunately I am at work and can only get to this forum through a web proxy, and while the web proxy would let me post, it did not allow me to edit after I saw my blunder. So my Bad.
