Summary

See T1613

One of the things that the reference docker lacks is the ability to add extra bookmarks into the list of default locations. This adds a button and saves the locations for future use.

... It opens up a can of worms:

  1. People can add locations, should they also be able to remove locations?
  2. Should people be able to select alternate names for these bookmarks?
    1. How would these be edited?
  3. Alternatively, should people be able to enter file paths into the dropdown?(It is possible, but not when allowing when naming the bookmarks anything else but a path)
  4. Should the bookmarks be saved in the kritarc, or maybe into the Kra?

This also adds tooltips to the buttons.

" People can add locations, should they also be able to remove locations?"

Yes, I think that's essential.

" Should people be able to select alternate names for these bookmarks?"

That would be nice...

" How would these be edited?"

But that's likely to be some work.

" Alternatively, should people be able to enter file paths into the dropdown?(It is possible, but not when allowing when naming the bookmarks anything else but a path)"

Typing file paths is always a chore, a selector works best for that.

" Should the bookmarks be saved in the kritarc, or maybe into the Kra?"

Ideally, we'd have a preset-like system like we have for filters, so you can select a set of bookmarks that you can use for more than one image within a project.

Lord, this is UI-hell.

Yes -- that goes for the whole plugin,,,

this is irrelevant since the reference docker will go.
