[Qt-creator] Bookmarks across multiple instances of Qt Creator?

[Schimkowitsch Robert]

Hi all,

bookmarks in Qt Creator are pretty important to me. They were important enough that I enabled file history so I could recover them in the (so far rare) cases where they simply disappeared for unknown reasons.

/digression
Now I noticed that Creator isn’t well suited to work on the same project in different branches. It is simply too easy to open a file the in the wrong branch and edit it. If the locator has a filter, I’m not aware of it. The search dialog is certainly not equipped for branches: When I want to select a single project to search in, I can choose between “MyProject”, “MyProject” or “MyProject”. No branch name given ☹
/end digression

Anyway, the perfect solution to me is working in multiple windows. Everything works for the branch I’m currently working on, switching between windows is easy and clear.
But since Qt Creator is storing bookmarks in a config file, I’m really worried I’ll run into “last instance to close wins” kind of scenario. And I’d like to know before that happens.

And no, I don’t want to organize my branches in different sessions with separate bookmarks. I switch branches so often, the session system simply isn’t suitable for that. And I want all my bookmarks in one place.

So…
1)  Do I have to expect trouble with bookmarks running multiple instances?
2) If so, what are good ways to work around them?

Cheers and thanks for a great IDE, despite the mentioned shortcomings!

Robert
