We store them in a folder. Another solution would be to store them in  
a file which can be browsed through CoreObject like a normal  
directory. This basically depends on how CollectionKit/BookmarkKit  
stores bookmarks and other collection of objects.

Yen-Ju problaby means Étoilé bookmarks. Many applications support  
bookmarks or similar markers (sound editor, movie editor, web  
browser, ftp manager, file manager, etc.) so Étoilé provides a shared  
and unified storage for bookmarks to all applications. It's basically  
the same idea than Apple AddressBook. We already have BookmarkKit  
which is the equivalent framework for bookmark support.
We still need to work out how we encode location property for movie,  
sound, picture, text and composite document related bookmarks. The  
location can be expressed in term of:
- space coordinates in a picture
- time code in a sound or a movie
- element (like a word in a text, a page in a book)

IconKit should handle this already in a background thread (I need to  
check) and normally takes care of caching all generated thumbnails  
(see IKThumbnailProvider).

I think each project (including the default one) should have a fixed  
tag path that keeps the project ordered in some way by default. More  
on this idea later :-)

Good idea I think.
