Limit Bookmarks to One Per Track
bluebrother:
Disabling bookmark on stop might also be a good idea ...

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.

The "Unique Only" feature only keeps one bookmark per directory. I am asking for one bookmark per track and multiple per directory.
In my example above, the list would be:
File 2, 55:34
But I need this:
File 2, 55:34
File 1, 22:30

It's actually "one bookmark per playlist" but a directory is treated as a playlist.
Rockbox has no way to know that you didn't mean to include other files in your playlist. Either create a static playlist, or put the files in separate directories so that you aren't inserting all of them into a playlist and then expecting it to differentiate two different positions within the same playlist as your intent of "I'm playing two different files" and you should be fine.

It is a lot of work to create separate directories for every file and to create playlists just to make bookmarking work right. I hope someone can figure out how to make this a feature of Rockbox.
Llorean:
Again, it's "one bookmark per playlist" so Rockbox's entire playlisting method would have to change to meet your requirements. Basically, it would need to remove the option to play everything in a folder. Either that, or it would need to remove the option to bookmark within a playlist.
How many files do you realistically have that you need to keep parallel bookmarks in, but for some reason cannot put in different folders?
As you can probably guess, very few people have felt the current bookmarking system creates any sort of problem, so it sounds like your situation is somewhat unique.
Maybe if you could describe exactly what it is your setup is like (are these files podcasts, recordings of something, or what?) someone might be able to recommend a more effective way to accomplish what you want that doesn't require challenging fundamental systems already in place.
