Bookmarks are also not restored when I save/restore a session with an FTP file.
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-10-27 02:02:00 UTC 
Bookmarks are not kept for FTP files.

I believe however that this might not work as Kate likely downloads the file to a temp directory and the path might be different so it doesn't know you've bookmarked something before.

Indeed, it doesn't work for remote files I guess. To fix this, we'd need to use the file hash instead of the url to save the meta data. Not sure this is a good idea, though.

We do store the stuff, the issue is that one would need to do the restore after the file is really loaded as atm the checksum will not match and therefore nothing will happen.

Not implemented, if somebody wants to have that, please submit a patch.

So far there was no interest to implement that for years.
