Title: Bookmarks NOT being saved.
Post by: Uname on January 02, 2014, 09:30:55 pm

Hello,

I am able to create bookmarks (i.e. ctrl-b funtionality) for a GTK+ project (using C99 if that matters).  Bookmark functionality works perfectly until the project is closed.  Once it is reopened ALL bookmarks are gone;  no bookmark is saved.  Currently I am using v13.12.

I had a similar problem on v10.05.  The problem on that old version was that sometimes bookmarks are saved, other times they were lost.

Is there anyone who can confirm if this is a bug or not?

Code::Blocks 13.12 rev9501

It is not a bug, but missing feature - the default bookmarks are not saved.
Probably you're using the BrowseTracker plugin for some of the bookmarks and I think there is a save/restore feature in this plugin.

You are correct;  I am using Browse Tracker plugin.  According to the code::blocks manual [section 2.8] "The markers are saved in the layout file <projectName>.bmarks".  I'm assuming markers == book marks.

If I open project.bmarks, there is something like:

Code

...
<File name="file.c" open="1" top="1" tabpos="12">
	<Cursor position="2847" topLine="94" />
	<BrowseMarks positions="2474" />
	<Book_Marks positions="2661,2371,2371,2658,2847" />
</File>
...

The <Book_Marks> tag is presumably referring to my bookmarks.  Therefore I do believe that the bookmarks are saved, but they are not loaded for some reason...

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I can't, I'm not using BrowseTracker. Probably someone else can.
