I was thinking about this export / import functions some time ago.
It's useful so we should support it.

But the format of BibleTime 0.3 isn't compatible to 0.2x, but we should offer 
an import function for 0.2x bookmarks.

Import / export of 0.3 bookmarks should be easy, IMHO the format shouldn't be 
human readable. The users can post the exported files and other users can 
import them.

Bad or good way?

BTW, I have t change the format of it. The books should be saved as numbers, 
not as booknames.
For example: A user used the German booknames and created tons of bookmarks.
Now he switched to another bookname language (e.g. Czech), now the bookmarks 
would be lost because te books can't be found.

Saving the booknumber of a book in the config file is the way we should go.


The bookmarks description will be used in future to display a smal note in 
side of each bookmark or somewhere else.
The decsription is a short text to remember to the context of the bookmark or 
to save some own thoughts about hte bookmark.

OK?
