Hello!

First of all I have to make a big congratulation to the evince
developers. It's the best PDF reader I ever used!

As a "contribution" I have a feature proposal. It's really more a
request for enhencement than a contribution :)

One thing that's very disturbing me in reading digital documents is the
lack of the possibility to mark a page. If I read a book or some other
sort of printed document I can insert some bookmark and if I go on
reading the next time I will easely find the point I stopped.

Would it be immaginable to have some bookmarking system in evince or
maybe directly in gnome, that remembers the viewed *file location* and
the *position* in it?

I immagine that pdf has some support for bookmarking. But I wouldn't
relay on that, because it would be limited to writable PDFs and surely
it wont have support for remembering the file location.

It would be very usefull to have one place in gnome or a menu in evince
where I can find all bookmarks. Selecting a bookmark will open the
corrisponding document and visualize the page I stopped reading the last
time or better the position I bookmarked.

What do you think about it?

In the hope to inspire someone I wish you happy hacking!
Patrick
