Bookmarks - Max Number?
« on: October 03, 2024, 11:02:12 AM »
Hi All,

Just updating my bookmarks in WACUP.  I have 7 but WACUP will only list 6 in the list when the clicking menu button > bookmarks (using Big Bento Modern if that's useful).  Bookmarks have been added to the winamp.bm and winamp.bm8 files in the C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\WACUP directory.

At first I thought I had mis-typed something, but I've changed the order around in which they appear and the list is there, just a maximum of 6.  I also tried adding the bookmarks to the winamp.bmc file as per this thread but it didn't seem to make a difference.  Noticeably this file contained 6 uid strings which are letters/numbers I can't equate to my bookmark entries, so perhaps this is where the issue lies.

Any advice of nailing this down appreciated!  Thanks everyone for their work with WACUP.

ARH

Solved!

In the .bm and .bm8 files, you need to hit return to a new line after your last bookmark, otherwise WACUP doesn't recognise the last bookmark in the list.

Not sure why you're manually editing the bookmark files when the library view should be all that's needed to do it. Line breaks are part of the not really documented bm/bm8 file spec (not that it's hard for path & title being on separate lines) though maybe I should be a bit more lenient in my handling in case the file is being manually edited as seems to have been happening here.

The bmc file is a supporting file that allows for other info that winamp didn't offer which was from my categoriser plug-in & has been expanded upon with time so its not really something to be messed with tbh & the running view handling keeps things in-sync between the files.
