Default location of Recent Bookmarks item in Main Menu
« on: June 10, 2025, 06:58:07 PM »
I have not personally used the Bookmark feature within RB, but it is something I plan on setting up for myself and others in the future.
So I apologize if this assumption is incorrect.

Recently a feature request I made about offering the ability/setting for user to update what is shown in the Main Menu was added in development build (thank you again for this).  When trying this out I noticed that at the top of this Settings - Main Menu setting section was Recent Bookmarks
Recent Bookmarks
Files
Resume Playback / Now Playing

etc.

I believe this settings list is in the order they they appear in the Main Menu, so this would mean that if this Bookmark feature was used that it would show up at the top of the Main Menu list.
I would / and I would think other users might prefer the Files section (and maybe some would prefer Database) to be at the top of the list by default instead, no matter what.

I have read in the past that user can setup a text file to specify the order of the Main Menu, I have not tried this out yet but I am suggesting that maybe the default behavior could/should be changed?
(If this part about being able to change the position of Recent Bookmarks with a text file is not true, could someone please let me know in a reply below, thank you)

If developers agree, maybe can make the Recent Bookmarks item appear maybe below the Resume Playback instead?
So it would look like
Files
Resume Playback / Now Playing
Recent Bookmarks

etc.

Thank You

Setting aside the question of how items should be arranged by default, the order can also be changed from the GUI, not just using a .cfg file:

@chris_s
I was already impressed with this recent Main Menu update from my other post and that is when I thought it was just for showing/hiding Main Menu items, wow now this is even better then I was aware of, I did not know this could also be used to rearrange Main Menu items as well, both functions work great.
Did not even realize that this Main Menu update was added to the manual already.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Okay, so this does offer a solution for this update request so it is up to developers if feel the default should be updated or not? but again at least now there is a way for user to be able to choose the order right from device itself.

Thank you guys again for this update and for this information.
