Things you should know about bookmarks in R5

In R5, please be aware that there is no synchronization between the bookmarks and the workspace. Also, if you remove a bookmark entry, the corresponding database is not removed from your workspace, so upon a restart of Notes the bookmark re-appears.

Also, if you remove a bookmark that represents several replicas, all references to that replica are removed. If you want to remove a single replica, right mouse click on the bookmark, select Open Replica, then select Manage List.

To force replication after creating a new replica using bookmarks, you must use the "Replicate via background Replicator" option in the replicate dialog, or replicate using the new replica stub on the workspace, or go to the replicator page and replicate from there.

Note: An error will occur if you try to force replication after creating a new replica using bookmarks, if you use the "Replicate with options" in the replicate dialog.

Other issues:

• Choosing Create->Response in a database's right-click menu causes the error "No document selected".
• After upgrading from 4.x, when you open your 4.x favorites databases, the database name will no longer be listed in the bookmarks list although the icon will appear. You can re-add the database to the bookmark list to correct this.
• If you are using a bookmark file other than the default bookmark.nsf (as specified in your location document), you will need to restart the client in order for that bookmark file to be used.
• If you have more icons on the Bookmark bar than what can be displayed on the screen, you can scroll to the icons that are not currently visible. To scroll the bookmark bar, you must first set the focus. To set focus, right-mouse click on any part of or icon on the Bookmark bar, and then press Esc to dismiss the pop-up menu. You can now use the up and down arrows to scroll the Bookmark bar.
• You can expand upon the accessibility feature "Show extended accelerators" by enabling keyboard navigation of the Bookmarks bar. Add the line AllowBookmarkFocus=1 to the NOTES.INI and restart Notes. Press Alt-B and then you can use the up arrow, down arrow, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys to navigate the Bookmark bar. Use Enter to select a Bookmark bar icon and Esc to exit. Note: This feature is only available when "Show extended accelerators" is enabled in User Preferences.
