bookmarks may be broken when upgrading dictionnary files

[d-faure]

When installing new versions of dictionary files, some bookmarks may be unable to reach their (new) location.

Whereas this may be obvious that reworked articles from a release to another one should be difficult/impossible to be reachable using old bookmarks, there isn't any convenient mean to start a new search from the old bookmark title.

This is the kind of tiny quality of life improvement that the application could benefit

Bookmarks do not record dictionary file location. Dictionary in a bookmark is identified by uri tag, so that bookmark continues to work even if specific dictionary (e.g. English Wikipedia) is updated to a new version (assuming new version still contains article with the bookmarked title). Sounds like this is mostly a theoretical concern. Am I missing something?

Indeed I made the same experience: after each update of German wiki most of bookmarks are broken.

It is very unlikely that the links changed, though I didn't scrutinize that. How, anyway? I would need to compile the app and debug in Android studio, I guess.

I searched then the few important ones again manually and bookmarked them again. Leading to the conclusion that there are fewer and fewer really important bookmarks ;)

It's not too important to me anymore, anyway :) Thanks!
