Hello,

under the menu Bookmarks I can add a bookmark, create a new directory,
delete *all* booksmarks, and view the content of a directory.

However how can I delete a single bookmark?
And how can I edit a bookmark?
I tried it with right-click on a specific bookmark, but nothing happened.

Best

Oliver

P.S. By the way, the version of Marble is 1.0.0. I know that since April
version 1.1.0 is available, but at least under Suse never ever one gets
newer versions of KDE programs. That is very strange, since apparently
everything else gets updated with newer versions, but never KDE applications. There is only an arcance possibility to update the whole
KDE thing, apparently always to something unstable, judging from the
e-mails on the mailing list, so I don't want to do this.

I'm running

Marble Virtual Globe
Version 1.1.95 (1.2 RC 2)
Using KDE Development Platform 4.7.00 (4.7.0) "release 6"

under OpenSuse. Under bookmarks I have add and manage options

are you running 4.7? maybe the latest version of Marble requires 4.7? have you tried compiling it from the src.rpm? maybe upgrade to 4.7

Under Suse I see no chance to update to KDE 4.7 without breaking my
system: I went into Yast, and there are updates of many KDE components
to various version starting with 4.7, but every update requires other
updates, these again require that something is *not* installed etc.
It just never ends. Since there is no global overview, and no global
explanations what will happens, this kind of mess will just break
too many things, I am rather sure.

In general I have the feeling it is best to free applications from KDE ---
much too much dependencies, which do not seem to be well managed (at
least not under Suse). I would be happy to install a local Marble, and
that's it. Take Sage (the computer algebra system): it just installs
everything from scratch, without this unmanageable stream of dependencies.
Would be great if for Marble there would exist such a package which just
includes all dependencies.

One can build Marble as "QT-only". If I can install this into my
home directory, and there wouldn't be any dependencies on any KDE
component and no influence, that would be good. Then it wouldn't
depend on KDE anymore, and, more important, this (purely local)
installation wouldn't break anything --- if it doesn't work then
I delete it, forget it, and that's it (completely different from when
I now try to install KDE 4.7, which can just end in a complete nightmare,
and at the end I have to make a complete new installation of the
operating system, since typically these things can't be undone).
And likely the only change is the outlook of the windows etc., or?

Thanks for your help!

thoughts:
- I upgraded to 4.7 and there were conflicts as you described but (as best as I can recall) they were because of renamed packages in 4.7, I think I clicked do not install or delete when these occurred, maybe posting on the OpenSuse forums would help
- you could consider removing all 4.6 packages, then changing the repos to 4.7 and installing it - this should alleviate the conflicts (I'm guessing)
