Ah. A little strange that it only works on the original folder 
reference, but that got it. Thanks, its saving the patterns.

So far the bookmarks I'm setting do tend to sit near function/method 
start, but only a select two or three I'm actively working on at any 
given time. The problem I've found, is if I set a bookmark too far from 
a function/method start I lose an important marker that identifies the 
context. If the the function popup was available and updated to show 
what function I was in, my bookmarks might start moving a bit further 
astray? Dunno. I guess I'd have to try it. Or maybe I should be writing 
smaller methods :)
