bookmarks? if you use them read this!

I'm not keen on bookmarks being incorporated into the actual playlist file, but I do think they should be saved to the same folder as the playlist catalogue, so that they can be managed together.

adding resume info to a m3u means that loading will be much slower usually... the .playlistcontorl file can rebuild a playlist very quickly

No, I meant to continue using playlist_control, just to use the same mechanism for bookmark resume and "normal" resume.

Also, the bookmark doesn't have to be stored in the same file as a playlist - it's more a clarification that a bookmark is always a reference into a playlist, not necessarily a directory (i.e. bring the database and saved playlists into parity).  Alongside the playlist would be fine by me too.

One problem is maintaining the current per-directory auto-saved bookmarks.  This would be an extension of the basic system, on the assumption that a bmark file with no corresponding playlist means "create a playlist for the containing directory".

code is now working to load and save .bmark files from the playlist control.... so we really need to get some consensus on how to name them....
he who yells loudest gets his way....

(from the playlist POV there is no difference between these, but there should be... thats something for later though). I'm thinking we could store it in /bookmarks/ and show the keyboard so the user can choose a name? as long as the resume point is stored straight away then any delay naming the file wont cause an issue with the wrong point being saved.

What about configuring the database playlist bookmark names in the tagnavi.config file? The file name could consist of a constant part and a variable part containing the database query parameters. To identify multiple bookmarks of the same query there could be a serial number or time in the filename.

I am not against using a single directory but sub-directories should be used as flat structure for storing bookmarks could be pretty messy.

not really possible.. there is currently no way to know if its a batabase list, or just a random bunch of files... also I dont like that idea much... if its from the db the search path shold be used when possible (which is not currently)
