Tips and tricks

Bookmarks are saved when the {{Button|Submit}} button is clicked. When saving a coordinate bookmark the saved coordinates are from the position the ship is in when the button is clicked, even when in mid-move/warp. Object bookmarks save the coordinates from the object regardless of where your ship is.

'''Tips and tricks'''

* Probes in space can be bookmarked, useful for creating perches on gates for example. See [[Bookmarking probes]]

* {{Co|Yellow|Important:}} When an object is destroyed or moved the bookmark still points to the original position

* Expiry can not be edited, but it can be canceled.

* The same label can be used for different bookmarks. Bookmarks are identified by their coordinate, so identical labels will <em>not</em> overwrite each other.

* Opening the New Location window when docked will start the creation of an object bookmark. This will not change when undocking

For coordinate bookmarks.

* Opening the Locations window and clicking the Add Location button.

* Opening the [[#Opening the window|Locations]] window and clicking the Add Location button.

* Using the hot-key (default: {{Button|CTRL}}+{{Button|B}}).

For object bookmarks

* Opening the [[#Opening the window|Locations window]] and clicking the Add Location button. Only when docked

* Using the right-click option Save Location on an object (some objects locations can not be save and thus do not have the option)

* Using the right-click option Save Location

** This option will work on, among others, brackets in space, objects in the overview, objects in the market window, objects in the agent mission offer window, linked objects in chat , mail and the notebook

* Using the radial menu. The push-pin on the second level.

* Opening the Locations window and clicking the Add Location button. Only when docked

~~There are two main ways of creating bookmarks.~~

~~If you wish to bookmark your current location there are several methods:~~

* Open the Neocom "Personal -> Locations" window and Select "Add Location" at the bottom and it will open up a new window that will allow you to bookmark the location you are presently at in space.

* Open the Locations shortcut in the Neocom bar and Select "Add Location" at the bottom and it will open up a new window that will allow you to bookmark the location you are presently at in space.

* Faster way is to use the "Save location..." hotkey. The default is {{button|CTRL}} + {{button|B}}.

~~If you wish to bookmark the location of an object on grid you can right-click an item in space or on your overview and select “Save Location”. Or use the radial menu to do the same.~~

The only difference between these methods is that using the first method bookmarks your ship's current position in space while the second method bookmarks another entity's location in space. You can bookmark cans, POS (Player Owned Station), wrecks, and various site locations found during core probing. You can often even bookmark objects that do not have the "warp to" option. This is useful if you are trying to position yourself on large grids.

~~'''Important:'''~~

* You can bookmark many entities in space, but if the item's location is changed by force or is destroyed, the bookmark will only indicate the original location coordinates.

* The 'Add location' command works both when you are at a dead stop or while moving - including warping. '''The coordinates you bookmark will indicate the exact location when you click the 'Submit' button and confirm the bookmark.'''

** One exception to the above occurs if you open the 'Add location' window in a station. If you undock and use that 'Add location' window in space, the bookmark will be set at the station and NOT at the point in space you were at when 'ok' was clicked.

~~=== Tips and tricks ===~~

* Any bookmark folder or subfolder can be opened into separate window by double-clicking the folder.

* Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just take the necessary bookmark. The client will give an automatic label to the bookmark. You can even use the same label for different bookmarks. Because their coordinates are different, they won’t overwrite each other.

* Bookmarks can be moved between folders and subfolders by dragging them to the new location. Opening the target folder in separate window makes the dragging much easier.

* Bookmarks can be copied from one folder to another by holding {{button|shift}} key while dragging (up to 10 at a time).

* Bookmark window shows various information on the bookmark in separate columns: Label, type, distance, solar system, constellation, region, creation date, expiry and creator. The folder contents can be sorted by any of them.

* Bookmarks that are in your current system are highlighted with green.

* You can bookmark probes in space, useful for creating perches on gates for example. See [[Bookmarking probes]]
