[17:31] <maelcum> sredna: hi, i have a feature wish  
[17:31] <sredna> maelcum: yes?
[17:31] <maelcum> it would be extremely useful to me to be able to see all  
bookmarks in a *session*.
[17:32] <maelcum> when i work with a lot of code that would be super awesome 
to mark all the currently interesting places
[17:32] <maelcum> i might implement it myself if it doesn't require too much 
internal kate knowledge.
[17:32] <maelcum> does it?  [17:33] <sredna> maelcum: like bookmarks?
[17:34] <sredna> maelcum: or do you want to mark areas you worked in?
[17:34] <maelcum> sredna: not like bookmarks, exactly bookmarks. the only 
problem is that i can't see all bookmarks in the session. and they are spread 
over many files.
[17:34] <sredna> maelcum: in any case it's quite simple i'd say, using either 
marks or ranges and provide som GUI representation
[17:34] <maelcum> ranges are not even necessary i think
[17:35] <sredna> maelcum: Oh, then here is what i have on my idea list: add 
bookmarks in a tree structure in the document list
[17:35] <maelcum> sredna: i would want a list "all bookmarks" and switch to 
the right file and line when i click on one.
[17:35] <sredna> maelcum: that should be quite simpel, a matter of adding them 
to the model
[17:36] <sredna> maelcum: along with means to handle a click
[17:36] <maelcum> ok, that should also work. you mean something like a 
little "plus" on the files to fold out their bookmarks?
[17:36] <sredna> maelcum: that is a question of writing your own model then, 
but that should not be hard eit[17:31] <maelcum> sredna: hi, i have a feature

[17:36] <sredna> maelcum: that is a question of writing your own model then, 
but that should not be hard either
[17:36] <maelcum> however, it would make me have to scroll in the filelist 
which i can avoid now
[17:36] <sredna> maelcum: yes. but the view should provide that if you just 
add the items correctly to the model
[17:37] <sredna> maelcum: an extra plugin then  [17:37] <maelcum> my file list 
tends to barely fit without scrolling so an extended bookmarks menu would be 
exactly right for me.
[17:38] <sredna> maelcum: write a model listing any document with a bookmark, 
and those bookmarks as children, and create a view for it, shouldn't be hard
[17:40] <maelcum> i thought of something like bookmarks->all bookmarks 
(submenu opens with entries "like foo.cpp:123 bar(baz);")
[17:41] <sredna> maelcum: that would be an option too
[17:42] <maelcum> i.e. an overview of all bookmarks without listing all files. 
i tend to have about as many bookmarks as files but of course the bookmarks 
are concentrated.
[17:43] <maelcum> plus a little "there is a bookmark in this file" sign in the 
file list, that would rock
[17:44] <maelcum> ok, i have to think about it some more
[17:44] <sredna> maelcum: i'm very interrested in helping with it, since i 
have something like that on my own list of good ideas too
[17:46] <maelcum> sredna: when are you usually on irc? right now i don't have 
the time and energy to discuss a final design.her
