This could be solved by adding a 32-bit unique game ID to each game and
keying the bookmark off of that. That's how I would solve it as a
programmer. This type of change would probably break the existing
database format and as such will probably not happen until 4.0. Then
again that's ultimately Shane's decision.

1.4bytes per game you say? What does that do for the speed of searches
-that which makes Scid super-
2.How does that compare to say just numbering the games in a file,
(memory-wise).
3.Do you write any code or do just design and never implement?
4.Are you making changes to scid and not sharing?
