“preview 5 (25.0.905) – May 11, 2025”
– Added the List of Bookmarks command and Bookmarks custom bar.[PF]
– Added “Unlimited” to the Days text box for saving bookmarks on the History page of the Customize dialog,
  restoring the ability to save bookmarks permanently.[P]
– Improved the startup speed of EmEditor and enhanced performance related to bookmarks.[PF]

Thank you very much for your efforts regarding these issues!
I am particularly interested in the “bookmarks” issue.

A quick test revealed the following:

25.0.906 (x64) Pro (installed)

Test case 1
Bookmarks saved in lines 1, 3, 5 in file “Bookmarks_TEST.txt”:

Name/Ext		Size	Modified Date
Bookmarks_TEST.txt	28	14.05.2025 13:20

Results:
– File opened in EmEditor Pro (installed): OK
– > File opened in this path (different drive): I:\Data\Bookmarks_TEST.txt
  > File opened in this path (different drive): C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bookmarks_TEST.txt
    The bookmarks are NO longer displayed in the installed version!
– > File opened in EmEditor Pro (portable): Bookmarks are NOT displayed in the portable version!
– Then file opened in EmEditor Pro (installed): OK (the bookmarks were NOT removed from the portable version)
– > Changed the modification date from May 14, 2025, 1:20 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. WITHOUT saving the file again(!).
    Then open the file “Bookmarks_TEST.txt”: OK (the bookmarks were retained)

Test case 2
The bookmarks in the file “Bookmarks_TEST.txt” were accidentally deleted (Bookmarks > Delete Bookmarked Lines).
Afterwards, the bookmark in line 1 was deleted as desired and a new bookmark was created in line 2.

Results:
– All bookmarks were deleted: OK (due to my mistake)
– > Deleted bookmarks cannot be restored.
– > After recreating the bookmarks (without closing the file first), the modification date was NOT updated(!)
– > Bookmarks in line 1 deleted (CTRL+F2). Bookmarks in line 2 (CTRL+F2) created: modification date was NOT updated(!)
  This has the disadvantage for me that I cannot tell “from the outside” whether the contents of a file have been changed.
  By “from outside,” I mean that, for example, after updating the modification date, the file and other data related
  to this file are displayed in Total Commander in a color I have defined myself (for 10 minutes).

25.0.906 (x64) Pro (portable)

Test case 3
Bookmarks saved in lines 1, 3, 5 in file “Bookmarks_TEST.txt”:

Name/Ext			Size	Date
Bookmarks_TEST_portable.txt	28	14.05.2025 14:22

Results:
– File opened in EmEditor Pro (portable): OK
– > File opened in EmEditor Pro (installed): Bookmarks are NOT displayed in the installed version!
– > File opened in this path (different drive): I:\Data\Bookmarks_TEST_portable.txt
  The bookmarks are NO LONGER displayed in the portable version!

Bookmarks in the portable version, compatible with bookmarks in the installed version
or at least bookmarks in the same file on different drives are the most important points for me
that I consider to be open issues.

Please check.

PS:
By portable version, I mean that I have access to all settings, favorites, recently used files, etc.,
just as if I were using the installed version.
(As an example I can cite Total Commander Portable, which I use).

PPS:
Perhaps I could also get some advice on “Outlines” in the previous post,
so that I know how to deal with them.

[tuska]

Bookmarks.csv can also be displayed with EmEditor.
However, “CSV” -> ‘Normal Mode’ is required for a complete display.

The problem only occurs when “CSV” -> ‘Tab separated’ is selected.
The reason for this is likely to be line breaks in the CSV file.

The topic is therefore closed for me.

[tuska]

I would like to provide this image as a supplement:
2024-10-27_Bookmark structure in Everything 1.5.0.1383a (x64) and Notepad++.png

[tuska]

I think OneDrive was not a good idea in terms of downloads.
I sent the file to the email address t e c h @ e m u r a s o f t . c o m.

[tuska]

I’m sorry, I forgot to upload the CSV file to OneDrive. :(

The file “Bookmarks.csv” can be downloaded from OneDrive.

[tuska]

Thank you for this information.
Now everything works as desired for me.

Regards,
Karl

With regard to “Snippets”, I now assume that there will still be no change and that it is necessary
to show all snippets first when using shortcuts (to the Snippets).

This makes the shortcuts to the Snippets superfluous for me, however,
because I can double-click on a snippet to insert it into a text file, for example.

Furthermore, it is necessary to hide the snippets again afterwards.

For me the issue is closed.

[tuska]

The error occurs with both the installed and the portable version.

Solution at present:
Close EmEditor with ESC key to the system tray and open the TXT file again.

After that, the line numbers are displayed properly again.

[tuska]

The error occurs when the “Word Count” plugin is executed.

Thank you very much for the prompt help! 👍

I was able to slightly adjust and set up the macro.

#icon="Datum.ico",0
#title=Datum"
#tooltip="Datum"
var date = new Date();

var dd   = date.getDate();           // returns the day of the month (from 1 to 31)
if( dd < 10 )  dd = "0" + dd;

var MM   = date.getMonth() + 1;      // returns the month (from 0 to 11)!
if( MM < 10 )  MM = "0" + MM;

var yyyy = date.getFullYear();       // Returns the year (4 digits)

// “Output”
document.write( dd + "." + MM + "." + yyyy);

To remove a single entry from the filter and other Find drop-down list,
you can press ALT + DELETE while the drop-down list is open and an item is selected.

If you want to remove all items, you can continue doing this for all items,
or select the History page of the Customize dialog, and click Clear History Now button.

Thank you for your reply.

It worked and I found out on this occasion that one can delete several entries in a row
also by holding down the ALT key and pressing the “Del” key several times.

[tuska]

Hi,

In this context, I would like to know please,
how to remove single or all saved entries from the filter dropdown list.

Thanks!

[tuska]

On this occasion “Outline“:
If I create “Outline points” for/in text files, where are they saved (name, path) and for how long?
Hopefully, the “Outline points” will remain in place for more than 100 days?

Background:
I would like to create a backup in this regard.

[tuska]

4.10.2022
– Updated to beta 16 (21.9.916) – October 3, 2022.
– 13 bookmarks created and “outlines” inserted in text file: “C:\totalcmd\Tests\TC-Forum_quote=’Stefan’_Bookmarks.txt”
– EmEditor Professional (64-bit) version 21.9.916 closed with click on button “Close All (Esc)” and “Close Tray Icon”.
– EmEditor Professional (64-bit) Version 21.9.916 started: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\EmEditor\EmEditor.exe /cd
– Result: 0 bookmarks, outline entries are still available

I hereby end my tests in this regard until further notice.

[tuska]

I was not mistaken after all: Something is NOT right with the bookmarks!

In file “C:\totalcmd\Tests\TC-Forum_quote=’Stefan’_Bookmarks.txt” 4 bookmarks were created NEW.
Then the file “Bookmarks.txt” was created and bookmarks were created there.
Opened and closed various files.
Closed EmEditor (installed) and restarted.

The bookmarks in file “C:\totalcmd\Tests\TC-Forum_quote=’Stefan’_Bookmarks.txt” were deleted.
The bookmarks in file “D:\Daten\Bookmarks.txt” are still present.

Name/Ext                Size      Date/Time          Note
FileAttr_Kopie.bin      108 824   03.10.2022 16:54   Backup copy
FileAttr.bin            109 075   03.10.2022 16:58   Change after exiting of EmEditor

Something is no longer right here – but the error is difficult for me to locate.
Maybe someone else will have more luck.

[tuska]

Now I am confused.
The problems described occurred – but I can’t reproduce them now.

I have partially recreated the bookmarks in one file, because they were definitely no longer there.

FileAttr.bin -> The timestamp did not change, for example, after I added bookmarks to a file,
from 4 to 6 bookmarks. When I reopened the file, the bookmarks were still there(!).

With a newly created file, this time the bookmarks were saved and were present after opening the text file.

It is all a mystery to me.
Maybe I just pressed the wrong shortcut combination by mistake the very first time and removed all the bookmarks.

Anyway:
I now only have one text file in which I value the bookmarks, as I use them almost daily.
If they get lost for some reason – I create them again and that’s it.

The 100 day limit is still the killer feature for bookmarks to me.

Therefore, please consider my request as irrelevant.
If I can reproduce an error, I will get back to you.

[tuska]

The bookmarks can also no longer be saved in EmEditor Professional (64-bit) version 21.9.915
because they are not available when the text file is called up again..

[tuska]

Hi,
I have a text file with bookmarks that I open almost daily.
Since EmEditor Professional (64-bit) version 21.9.915 – October 1, 2022 (installed and portable version) there are no bookmarks there either.

Please check.
Thank you!

Thank you!

Btw, ß (ss), ä (aede, deae, deaede, Aede, deAe, deAEde),etc.
is it currently ONLY allowed to set A SINGLE CHARACTER in the “Treat as” field?
If so, could you perhaps also allow multiple characters here? That would be very helpful!
