You didn't offend me at all, I wasn't being sarcastic (for once)! Sorry for the misunderstanding. If it makes you feel any better even native English speakers have difficulty interpreting tone from words alone.

I'm still testing it. I've installed a fresh build and turned "bookmark on stop" off, "load last bookmark" off and auto-update off and am playing/deleting files through the "Files" browser like I normally would. So far no issues, but I have a feeling once I start bookmarking/deleting, things are going to go haywire. I'll let you know.

Ok, I've been testing this issue out for the last week and I'm still getting the error. I installed a fresh build, played mp3's through the File Brower, with all default settings, for a couple days and had no issues. I then turned "bookmark on stop" on only. That is when the weirdness started to happen. When I powered down, I could see the "Bookmark Created" confirmation and when powering on I could see the bookmark under Recent Bookmarks, but when I manually selected it, to resume playback, it would just start at the beginning of the file. I did this with a couple mp3s, with the same results. I could still successfully click on any file (my original issue), under File Browser, but the file would never play from where the bookmark was created. I then turned "Load Last Bookmark" on, and that's when my original issue was replicated. After powering down, creating a bookmark, powering on, then trying to play the bookmark, I could no longer play any file, using the File Browser, and it would only flash the "Nothing to Resume" message. So, here is a breakdown:
Default Settings
- no issues
Bookmark on Stop on
- file would not resume
Bookmark on Stop/Load Last Bookmark on
- file would not resume
- unable to play any file, in directory, using File Browser
The only thing I didn't turn on, during testing, was "Resume Playback" for the start screen, which I usually have on.
As far as I can tell, there something wonky with the bookmarking and play files through the File Browser, but my knowledge is limited.
Thanks for any help.

This sounds like a different problem, that I've heard happens on recent builds.

Just making sure here... After enabling "Load Last Bookmark", did you delete any file before the problem started? Could you attach/PM me the full path to the folder, the name of all files in it, as well as the .bmark file for that folder? That could give some ideas on what is going on...
Regardless, the current behavior isn't very good. If "Load Last Bookmark" can't find the file to resume, it should play the selected file instead, I think. Setting "Load Last Bookmark" set to "Ask" would avoid this problem, by the way.

This should not happen with a build from Jan 18 or before...

I'm trying to think, but I don't think I deleted a file before creating the first bookmark and trying to load it, after turning "Load Last Bookmark" on. I'm sure I turned "Load Last Bookmark" on, created a bookmark and tried to load it, before deleting a file.
I'll have to get you the .bmark file and folder path when I get to my home computer, since I don't have my USB cable with me. It should be fairly easy to recreate it since I've probably done 4 fresh build installs and have been able to recreate the problem everytime. Just load a bunch of mp3s into a directory under Music, play a file through the "File Browser", bookmark it, reboot and try to play the bookmark. If that works, try bookmarking a file, deleting the file, play a different file and bookmark that one and try to load the new bookmark. I'm trying to find a pattern to make it easier to debug, the closest I can get is trying this.
Edit: I attached my bookmark file (changed the extenstion to .txt so it will upload). The full path to the folder is: L:\MUSIC\Podcasts. I currently only have one file in there called 'wiik-in-review-12508.mp3', which does not resume when I try to play its bookmark and flashes "Nothing to Resume" when I click on it manually.
Edit2: This thing is so jacked. So I only had the 'wiik-in-review-12508.mp3' file in the Podcast directory. I just added two new mp3s, when I booted up my Sansa, instead of resuming 'wiik-in-review-12508.mp3' where I left off, it started to play one of the new mp3s. When I tried to manually select the 'wiik-in-review-12508.mp3' file, the Sansa froze and I had to hold down the power button for 15s to reboot it. When it hangs, it doesn't show any of the normal file info on the WPS. It shows (root) (root) 0:00/0:00 ?kBit (no id3), where the normal file information is displayed. Rebooting once, allows me to play the 'wiik-in-review-12508.mp3' and I can move left and right to select the new mp3s, like it should. If I try to go through the 'File Browser' to manually select an mp3, the Sansa hangs again and shows the WPS without the ID3 info.
