vlc-bookmarks-editor

vlc extension to create and edit bookmarks.

Overview

The default Bookmark of vlc cannot be stored permanently. If you close the media file, the bookmarks will disappear. So we need a bookmark management extension to store the bookmarks permanently.

moment Track is a popular bookmark editing extension, it works fine on Windows and Linux, but does not always work on mac. So I develops this extension bookmark editor.

It also has some unique features.

1. seperate media bookmarks file

bookmark editor stores a bookmark file for each media file. The boolmark file is named after the media file name and the extension istxt. The default storage path is the user configuration data folder .

  • /User s/user_name/Library/Application\ Support/org.videolan.vlc on Mac,
  • %APPDATA%\vlc on Windows,
  • /home/user_name/.local/share/vlc on Linux.

change user_name to your user name.

2. Change storage path

you can change it to the path you want in the extension

3. Two modes

bookmark editor has two modes, horizontal and vertical mode.

There are more functions in horizontal mode, change the bookmark storage path, edit the bookmarks with the default text editor, etc. This mode is more conducive to editing.

vertical mode is the default mode,which is more streamlined. You can drag it to the edge of the screen to make it easier to capture bookmarks.
