Bookmarks in IGB allow you to create a shortcut to a specific position genomic location and zoom level within a set collection of files. Clicking on the bookmark will tell IGB to zoom and scroll to the bookmarked position and zoom level in a file. Items that you bookmark will appear under data sets. Bookmarks will be listed in the Bookmarks menu. When you create the bookmark, you will be able to provide any name or descriptor you wish to help you remember what the bookmark is for.
Any bookmarks that you create during a session will be saved when you exit, and will be available the next time you launch IGB. Bookmarks are saved in their own sub-directory, separate from the preferences and the cache. If you need to reset preferences to default, or if you need to clear the cache, your bookmarks will NOT be affected. However, if the entire IGB directory is deleted, or if the bookmark sub-directory is deleted, then all the bookmarks will be lost.
The Bookmark Manager window will allow you to work with your saved bookmarks. It will allow you to edit your bookmark names, or edit the bookmark list. You can set up separate folds folders for each user to allow , allowing for individual bookmarks; the Bookmark Manager will allow you to also switch between these folders. Finally, the Bookmark Manager will allow you to export or import IGB bookmarks; this allows these bookmark files to be shared between (distant) users. We strongly recommend that you occasionally export and save your bookmarks to provide a back up file. This will allow recovery of your bookmarks in case of catastrophic failure of the program.
