This story has been created to track the user request of improving bookmark syncing and saving in IGB.

The original user support request can be found at HELP-289.

The user hoped we could implement the following points:

1) sync bookmarks between windows (but maybe easier/better to do is the following
2) save bookmarks during a session/with a session; or
3) enhance no of bookmark-backups;
4) include a preference setting to add a user-defined-folder (other than ~/.igb) where bookmarks (and maybe other stuff) are copied/exported to automatically upon quiting/saving a session (which would create an extra back-up)
5) remove hard-link between bookmark and loaded gene-annotation-file (gtf) when saving bookmark as "position only"
6) link bookmarks to organism chosen/loaded in the program to keep bookmarks manageable (one could think of a bookmark-file as an option within the igb-quickload folder for each genome if one has that set-up locally; or sync this folder-structure locally in the ~/.igb)

For more details, refer to the original user support request (HELP-289) so you can understand the use case of these implementations and why they would add value to the program.
