Great, now I can forget about the patch completely :-). See below for my
comments. Thanks for integrating the patch and thanks to everyone (especially
Henrik) for their help in getting it right.

Looks like LEFT still works though.

Legacy code from when there was a hard limit on the number of bookmarks
allowed in a file. I commented it out for a test and forgot to delete it.

This was something Henrik added and I never understood why, so I left it in.

The code should delete those bookmarks that conform to the old style when
re-writing bookmark files.

Never noticed. Sounds like a bug in the display code :-).

List bookmarks lists the bookmarks for the currently playing directory or
playlist. If nothing is playing, then nothing will be displayed. Recent
bookmarks are independent of what is (or even if something is) playing and
displays all bookmarks. Now that I think about it, this could be a problem if
there are no bookmark limits in place and unique only is not set. Then the
file could get quite large. I'll have to look into it.

For you, Björn? Anything. You're just so special :-).
