[bt-devel] bookmarks

[Joachim Ansorg]

Troy,
	I think you're right about your comment doing the bookmark stuff in the 
engine.
I don't wanted to use the TreeKeyIdx class because this owuld have created 
different files. But saving to XML sounds nice. I never thought about this.

Is saving to one single XML file (no index files etc.) possible? Is saving and 
loading then simple? IMHO implmenting an own XML reader for the class is not 
a good idea. Is using an XML lib possible? This would be another dependancy, 
as you said.

Since I have not studied computer science I'm not sure if I can write the 
stuff. But I'll try if you give me some hints how to start.

Thank you Troy!

Joachim
