Using Bookmarks

Opening the Bookmarks Tab

After installing the plugin you can click the menu entry Tools -> Power Bookmarks. A new tab opens that shows the bookmarks.

Bookmarks

The bookmark tab manges multiple categories (lists) of bookmarks. They are all listed vertically below the general control ui.

Function	Description
Add	Creates a new bookmark with the camera view the level editor currently has and adds it to the currently selected category.
Delete	Deletes the bookmark from the list.
Open	Opens the bookmark and sets the view camera to the saved transform. Will also open the level the bookmark was created for.
Rename	Changes the name of a bookmark. Does not allow duplicates.
Lock	Locks the bookmark against changes (Renaming, Deleting) and disables those buttons.

Categories

Categories are managed similarly to bookmarks with their own dedicated buttons.

Function	Description
Add	Creates a new category and auto-selects it.
Delete	Deletes the category and all its bookmarks.
Select	Select a different category to display the bookmarks it contains.
Rename	Changes the name of the selected category. If the new name is already used by another category the name will not be updated.

Sharing

There are two ways to share bookmarks:

• It is possible to share bookmarks through text based JSON strings. They can be easily copy-pasted through the editor.
• For teams using source control the ini config file used to store the bookmarks can be synced.

Copy Paste

Function	Description
Copy	Copies the bookmark to the clipboard. The data is shared through a condensed JSON string.
Paste	Reads the contents of the clipboard and creates a new bookmark if successful. The bookmark is pasted into the selected category. The original name is kept unless it conflicts with an existing one.

Example bookmark JSON string:

{"name":"Bookmarks.Player Spawn","location":{"x":126499.845762,"y":13588.173825,"z":99878.071815000003},"rotation":{"pitch":-29.988928000000001,"yaw":205.201831,"roll":-9.9999999999999995e-07}}

Source Control

The plugin will save all bookmarks to Config/DefaultBookmarks.ini. If you would like to track or share changes simply add the file to your source control. If the provider you are using supports locking (e.g. P4) the plugin will automatically checkout the file. You will need to manually checkin though.

Filtering

To manage many bookmarks there are filter options available.

Function	Description
Level Only	Only show bookmarks that are for the currently open level. All bookmarks for other levels will be hidden.
Filter	This is a text input field, if anything is entered only the bookmarks with names matching the text are displayed.
