Version: 0.8.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic In the bookmark list in the panel to the left, the files containing bookmarks are listed with their full path. Since full paths tend to be rather long, the list becomes unreadable (unless the panel is dragged to be very broad). In my case, all entries read /home/gandalf/... and the rest I can't read because I don't want such a big side panel. So please only list the filenames themselves, or let the user decide via a config option which behaviour he likes better. Maybe one could also the functionality to use custom names for the list items, as for the individual bookmarks themselves.
Now I saw that in the bookmarks.xml file one can easily change the title of the bookmarked items manually. This I did, and it works (although being able to do it directly in okular would of course be much nicer), but there is a problem: While all bookmarks work, and the short titles too, I cannot remove bookmarks anymore from within okular. Renaming still works, though.
Sorry for multiple posting, but experimenting further with the okular bookmarks, I realized what else could be improved in the current context: 1) Ordering of bookmarks seems to be done chronologically right now, would be nice if the user could influence that. (No problem in the xml of course) 2) Grouping of bookmarks would be helpful at least for me. I tried adding a <folder>-environment to contain some bookmarked icons, but that didn't work. Are subfolders supported by the okular bookmarks file?

Listing only the file names would create confusion with two documents with same file name but in different paths. As for option.... is it *really* necessary? I don't think so. Anyway, this is bug #158837, basically. > Now I saw that in the bookmarks.xml file one can easily change the title of the > bookmarked items manually.

Renaming still works, though. This is a reason more to *not* fiddle with internal files. > 1) Ordering of bookmarks seems to be done chronologically right now, would be > nice if the user could influence that. (No problem in the xml of course) I'll make them alphabetically sorted. > 2) Grouping of bookmarks would be helpful at least for me.

Again, do *not* touch the internal .xml. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 158837 ***
