Why not create a playlist for each file and play the playlist instead of the file? That could be done with a few lines of shell script.

That is only true if the Unique Only option is on, otherwise you can save 10 bookmarks per playlist to Recent Bookmarks.

Instead of starting from the Unique Only option which is restricted to one per playlist, you start with the many per playlist option and overwrite bookmarks as new ones are added on existing bookmarked tracks.  This allows you to have one bookmark per track and up to 10 bookmarks for all tracks in one folder.  I don't need the bookmarks to span across multiple folders.  There is no change required to Rockbox's playlisting method.

Llorean:
Bookmarks are stored per playlist. New ones are added on existing bookmarked playlists not tracks. Storing them per track would be new either way, they're store per folder or playlist currently. So yes, a change would be required to Rockbox's playlisting method to recognize bookmarks on a per file basis.

Again, why not try telling us why your files can't be in separate folders (which is generally trivial to accomplish) and maybe we can give you other suggestions to solve your problem - what exactly is your use case?

fml2:
I can very well understand the motivation and will probably implement it. Actually, I think we could/should have this option for "ordinary" (not recent) bookmarks too, i.e. that each track is present no more than once in a .bmark file.

But first I need to understand how the new "Update on Stop" setting works and what exactly it does...

torne:
It creates a bookmark on stop if the bookmark file already exists. If it doesn't exist, the previous behaviour happens.
