A highlight searchable list or a bookmark/annotation whose field autofills from selec

[jim_chapman]

Hi, I just downloaded Freda, and so far I am liking it. But I am reading a medical book for a quite weakened person, highlighting or excerpting if you will,the important passages for her to read later. 
It would be great to have the chance to select a part of text, then when highlighting it, auto create an entry allowing to directly navigate between highlights while still keeping the highlighted bit in the context of the page. A kind of "navigable index of highlights" if you will.

I understand that I can do the highlighting then create a bookmark and copy/paste the text in the provided text box, but it is quite contrived and lenghty.

would this be a possible option to be implemented? 

Thanks

You're right - as it stands, the Freda 'bookmark' feature doesn't work smoothly if you're aiming to use it for excerpting.  I will take a look at it, and see if I can make it work more like the navigable index of highlights that you mention.  It may take a little while to get right, though.
