This is a tool for bookmarking viewport positions. It’s especially useful in large scenes.

• Switch between bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark name.
• The window is dockable

The data is stored persistent in a scene node, which can easily be transferred between scenes:

— V 0.1 Release
— V 0.2 The list box is now 28 rows, two little bugs are fixed
— V 0.3 UI is scalable now, more data is stored: viewport type, fov (courtesy of Simon Bourgeois)
— V 0.4 right click on a bookmark name updates the bookmark with the current viewport, no need for deleting, and creating a new bookmark everytime you need to change it.
— V 0.5 the bookmark list can now be reordered with the up and down buttons
— V 0.6 Export Bookmarks to camera (by Simon Bourgeois)
