I've just committed more of the annotation code. It auto-converts
old-style bookmarks to hidden annotations. One bonus of this is that we
no longer have a 64K limit on the total text of bookmarks for a
document, since each bookmark/annotation is a separate record.
It needs a lot of testing, so please bang away. Make a backup first if
your old bookmarks matter to you or if you're afraid of a bad crash
(always a possibility). (If you have an NVFS device, I recommend my own
open source NVBackup for backups: handypalmstuff.sf.net) Almost all of
the bookmark code (except for the bookmark view form) has been rewritten.
The thing to test for is to add and delete annotations and bookmarks at
random places in the text, in random order, and make sure everything
survives.
I still haven't written code to check that the bookmarks are in sync
with the document. And bookmark.c needs better checking for
out-of-memory errors.
The bookmarks/annotations internally store created/modified dates, an
extension to the annotation format that was hashed out two years ago. I
don't know what to do with these, but it might be useful.
The current code has a fairly simple way to annotate a word: tap on the
bookmark icon, choose "Add annotation", observe the HOME icon changing
into a pointing hand, and then tap on a word.
