Over my time in EVE, I've amassed a huge amount of bookmarks. I'm running EVE at 1920x1200 and I cant even fit a tenth of them on screen. There's virtually no way to organize them other than looking them up individually to see what system they belong in. Even the ones in your current system are scattered about seemingly randomly. If you ever try to find one in the list to remove it, you'll occasionally find yourself scrolling through the list a couple of times trying to catch it.
At least have EVE sort bookmarks by system automatically. Preferably, I'd like two tabs for bookmarks. The first would be for the current system and allow easy access to manage and remove bookmarks for the system you're in. The second tab would be similar to the survey scanner and assets window where bookmarks are grouped into systems alphabetically in expandable folders.
I'd also like the bookmarks shown when you right click space to be organized to whatever order you want. Assigning a bookmark a display priority whenever you name it would solve this. If you want to give it a pretty gui, use what you have for managing waypoints for navigation.
This is easily remedied by creating Folders for your bookmarks (Bases, Mining, etc), by using a solid naming convention, and sorting the columns Alphabetically.
First, you make a bookmark. Label the thing "Ours VII - Base" and put it into the Bases folder. Then make another bookmark of the middle asteroid in the belt, and label it "Ours V 1 - Mining" and put that into the Mining folder.
When you are in Ours, your right click menu will show the normal stuff. It'll also show a flyout option for Bases and Mining. They only display the BMs you have in that area, not every single BM in the folder.
As for sorting them out in your People and Places, if you have them named properly then you can sort Alphabetically and avoid randomly scouring the entire list to find something.
I'm just saying, it's not too hard for me to stay organized. But it seems others lack the same ability.
