bookmarks? if you use them read this!

<< < (3/4) > >>

JdGordon:
not getting much input on the dev list so ill try here also (and yes im going to get told off for posting a patch here instead of the tracker.... tough! its not ready yet...)

please try out the attached patch. your old bmark files WONT work... and actually the only thing that does at the moment is creating bookmarks in the wps context menu, and loading .bmark files in the file browser...

One important thing...
if the name of the current playlist cant be determined (i.e its not dirplay or m3u) it creates a numbered /bookmark_*.bmark file which you can go and rename later (unless someone comes up with a better way to name them?)

AlexP:
I'm sorry for being late to the party (I've been away) and I'll admit right now I haven't tried the patch - but does the recent bookmarks entry still exist in the main menu with this?  It is a feature I use all the time and I would be very sorry to see it go.

Apologies if this is a non-concern!

JdGordon:
yes, it will stay, in some undecided form....

JdGordon:
moving this to the tracker as its almost fully working... http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9407

If you use bookmarks please let me know whay I've broken from the old behavior.
things are that not yet converted:
- autoload (not sure how this is supposed to work...)
- recent bookmarks

JdGordon:
bmark.6.diff on the tracker is where im sort of stuck at now (should still be in sync with svn...)
automload is working..

I'm completely stuffed as to what to do about the recent bookmark list. Because the .bmark actually has to be loaded before it can be displayed, if we want to show the track title and the resume position in the recent list we need to waste a fair bit of ram storing track title, .bmark filename, resume point (~500 bytes each!)
Now we can do this, but thats quiet a bit of waste for people who dont use bookmarks (yes it can be allocated at boot but thats a bit annoying also)

One option is to only save the .bmark filename and only have a list of them, then selecting one would load it and display the resume points in it... good enough?

I need suggestions.... (also testers for the actual WIP patch..)
