Hi Ben,
to point 1: SOLVED - Seemed I was blind. I found the property and it works well. Thanks! No bug!! And: I have a Sony Reader 650 and compile from time to time manually your alpha code.
To point 2: I did not want to bother you with the icons. Really!
If you ever plan in distant future to add some icons...
'Would you rather that all notes added to bookmarks in the same book end up in one file, with a page number assigned to each note?' Yeeessss! That sounds really good to me! If I understand 'Terisa de morgan' correctly, she too prefers that option.
kind regards from a sunny day in Germany
