            Bug ID: 432567
           Summary: Bookmarks in Navigation View are a mess
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.10.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: larrywbradley at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When I have a single pdf file open and turn on the Navigation view, the
bookmarks list contains every pdf file I have ever bookmarked, not just the pdf
I currently have open. Further, the bookmarks are indexed by file location, not
just by the Title of the pdf file. Frankly, this renders the Navigation view
practically useless, as far as bookmarks are concerned.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a pdf file.
2. Click on Settings, Show Navigation Panel. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Every bookmark for every pdf file I have ever bookmarked is included in the
navigation panel. Worse, because the bookmark name consists of the entire
filepath, and nothing is chronological, it makes it difficult to find the
bookmarks for the currently-open file.

EXPECTED RESULT
First, I expect to see the bookmarks only for the currently-open file.
Second, I expect the bookmarks to be listed by file-name only, not by the file
path.
Third, as I have some long file paths often the title of the pdf cannot be
seen, and I cannot necessarily remember the title based on the bookmarks alone.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can see some value in having All bookmarked pdf's appear in the Navigation
panel, but only if they are listed by pdf title only, not by the entire file
path. Still, I would rather have the fixed state be one where only the
bookmarks of the currently-open pdf appear in the Navigation panel, or, if you
want to get "fancy," have an option for a) currently pdf only, or b) all pdf's.
