An extension for VLC that enables the creation and editing of bookmarks.
The VLC's default Bookmark feature doesn't offer permanent storage. When you close the media file, the bookmarks disappear. To address this, we introduce the bookmark editor extension that allows for permanent bookmark storage. While moment Track is a widely used bookmark editing extension that works well on Windows and Linux, it's inconsistent on Mac. Hence, the development of bookmark editor which also offers unique functionalities.
