Limit Bookmarks to One Per Track

(1/7) > >>

reunted:
My understanding is that we can have one bookmark per directory, or up to 10 bookmarks across all directories and files or all within the same file.  I would like to have an option to disallow multiple bookmarks per track.  In other words, only one bookmark per track.  So if you had 10 bookmarks they would be on 10 different files.

bluebrother:
Your understanding is (still) wrong. There is no limit in bookmarks, and adding an artificial limit is a bad idea in general.

JdGordon:
the 10 bookmarks you are talking about is the last 10 saved... as bluebrother said, there is no articifial limits on the amount of bookmarks in a track or folder

reunted:
I am not asking for an artificial limit on the number of bookmarks.  I don't need to keep track of all the points that I stopped at for a single track.  I just need to return to the last stop point.  There is already a "Unique Only" option to keep one bookmark per directory.  So all I am asking for a "Unique Per Track" option.  The Recent Bookmarks list only shows the last 10 bookmarks, so if I stop and start a track 10 times, I can't go back to a previous track because all the bookmark slots would have been used up for the current song.  This seems to be a reasonable request to me.


From the manual:

Maintain a list of Recent Bookmarks.
    If this option is enabled, a list of the most recently created bookmarks may be accessed through the Recent Bookmarks option in the Main Menu. This list contains up to ten entries.

    No
        Do not keep a list of recently used bookmarks. This also removes the Recent Bookmarks from the Main Menu.
    Yes
        Keep a list of recently used bookmarks. Each new bookmark is added to the list of recent bookmarks.
    Unique Only
        Add each new bookmark to the list of recently used bookmarks, but only keep one bookmark from the current directory or playlist; any previous entries are removed.

Llorean:
You seem to be missing the fact that you can access a tracks bookmarks by way of its bookmark file, rather than the "Recent bookmarks" list. Recent bookmarks is specifically for recent ones. If you have "Unique Only" enabled and still have bookmarks in more than 10 files so you can't go through the recent list to the 11th file (which is hardly recent by this point) you can always just open the .bmark file and select the appropriate bookmark from the full list for that track.
