Hi Jef et al.,

thanks for merging/pulling
https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/78
and thereby closing
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3243

I see that the 'little' bookmark dialog has been removed in favour of 
the bookmark list. Although I did like the little dialog, I think 
removing unnessary gui stuff is good.

Some remarks:

- I see that it is possible to edit the bookmark_id and that you can use 
both characters as numbers in it? Choosing an id which already excists 
just silently fails..
I'm not sure if that 'id' is an internal one, or who is enforcing the 
unicity of the id. But should we not just remove that column? The user 
already has an editable name AND project to make it recongnizable for 
him/her?

- the last column in th bookmarkslist shows you 'SRID' of the bookmark 
coordinates while for example in the projection selector we show the 
'Authority ID'.
Personnaly I feel more comfortable with the Authority ID's, and I think 
the SRID should be a technical/internal ID (but maybe other people feel 
the other way around?).
So I would be in favour of showing the Authority ID instead of the SRID

- double clicking a row in the list let you zoom to that bookmark 
(preffered, see discussion in http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3243).
But at this moment it ALSO puts you in edit mode after the zoom..
I think it would be better to stop that event, so the user is not 
changing coordinates or names by accident?

- Now that is a grid, I think we could maybe put a filter above it (for 
users with long bookmark lists, or to be able to sort on CRS or Projectname?

What is the opinion of other users/devs?
If agreed, I can make it a feature request, or even implement this 
myself I think...

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
