IMHO we could do 1.0 afetr 0.3, but it's a huge "jump" about version
numbers. This is not good everytime.

This is a bug. I havn't found it yet. Will be fixed after 0.3final. Simply do
"killall bibletime" to remove it from memory.

It doesn't work? I tested it havily and I thought it worked right.
Could you please send me the exported bookmark file? I need it to test the
import function.
Some minutes agi I tested it with some sub-sub-olders etc. It worked (nromal
saving and importing).
> Who named the Bibletime project? Torsten Uhlmann? Joachim?
The name "BibleTime" was Torstens idea. It's a really good name.
