  • Ayy,

    I'm super chuffed about the recent "find" updates, it's already sped up my workflow, which is great!!

    Soo, the bookmark bar - I have already have posted a suggestion a long time ago about enhancing this, but I thought of something way more basic that I think would GREATLY help. I understand that some suggestions may be more complicated than they seem, but I'm confident this is a overall small-ish suggestion but with a HUGE benefit, especially for people working on larger projects that want to keep a long list of bookmarks:

    I think the bookmark bar would benefit from having another column called "Label" or something, and allow us to write text next to each bookmark.

    This would solve the problem where you bookmark an event, and later when you look at your long list of bookmarks, you sometimes can't tell exactly what the bookmark is referring to.

    I think I remember that bookmarking an "else" event will only show you "else" on the bookmark bar, so this suggestion solves this too.

    One scenario that this would help with: Imagine you have a list of 10 bookmarks, and you need to jump between 3 new bookmarks to develop some part of your game. You could easily add the bookmarks, label them all, and then you are able to quickly know which bookmarks to click between.

    Or, better yet, if you had a list of 10 bookmarks that you have already labelled, then once you add 3 new bookmarks, it would be obvious which ones are the new bookmarks, as they will have no label. This would make it easy to use quick temporary bookmarks without needing to read each bookmark - just simply look for the ones with no label.

    Some extra ideas that would probably overcomplicate the original idea: Allow a bookmark's label to be found in the Find bar. And, to display the label within the event sheet view itself, next to the bookmark icon. BUT, these are just nice-to-have extras, not integral to the point of being able to label bookmarks.

    Hopefully I am correct that this would be relatively small to add, but if not, I can post this on the suggestions platform. Thanks for reading!
