What is this EDD program? i'm using PC.
Release - EDDiscovery 18.X is now out! New modules panel upgrade and Engineering
ED Discovery is a Windows/Linux application which assists you in piloting in the Elite Dangerous universe. Started by Commander Finwen, it has been greatly expanded in the last few years by a team of programmers who have added many features. Major Features: History of your journey through...
Alas, yes, the bookmark limit is around 100. I liked to bookmark my ELW discoveries, as well as every deep-space outpost, Glowing Green Giant and other oddity, but alas I cannot. I had to delete all my ELW bookmarks, just to make space for all the outposts and any other temporary bookmarks I might need (like navigation, or marking out the corners of a survey cube).
I always take pics of all ELWs, plus make notes in a spreadsheet and make a post in Marx's ELW megathread. For everything else, I rely on EDD and the forums.

This is good to know. Thank you.
They could increase the bookmark number and add a way of putting them in your own categories, maybe even have different colors. That would nice. But it's been brought up before, so nothing new there.
EDD is definitely the tool to use on PC for explorers. Never leave the bubble without it.

IIRC the limit is 128. I am using EDSM to bookmark my findings. And to send the data I now use EDMC, since I have trouble with EDD. On my PC EDD is always to slow sending data to EDSM. When I travel I have EDSM dashboard open on a laptop. The data, EDMC sends, arrive at EDSM seconds after I enter a system, with EDD it takes sometimes minutes before I see a change. YMMV
I wouldn't mind having the ability to create bookmark folders, like a browser does. Then maybe it would afford the ability to store more than 128(?), and enable easy groupings... nebula, black holes, stations, etc.
What if those bookmarks are also full? Tho I sometimes also want more bookmarks... It is alreally hard to find that one I am looking for. I use "* something" or "* * something" to get current bookmarks to the top of the list. LIke delivery targets for Ida or CGs
Temp bookmarks would be a solution. They can expire after a week or so.

Exactly.
And I use my bookmarks mostly to signify interstellar factions, material traders, and such, and the only way to group them is to add bunches of prefixes. It's not optimal currently.
Using EDD is a good alternative, but it's a bit annoying that so many functions and features are 3rd party tools instead of in-game. After all this time, the community has figured out many things that are fairly necessary for the game, and those features are placed in outside tools. Frontier should take a look and inspiration from some of them.
i've started the pain of copying/deleting my bookmarks to a 3rd party piece of software. I didn't realise that i had discovered 37 ELWs. 38 acutally because 2 were orbiting each other in one system.
This is what I do currently.
I'm one who tends to play things plain vanilla. I was very hesitant to go with 3rd party tools. However, I have changed my view a little as I do find them useful.
I like to play vanilla too. Don't like to add extra tools or even searching for answer. I think a perfect game is one where all the answers can be found inside the game itself.
i looked at the source code given by Nick above. it looks very complex. i'm just using a simple program that associates words with graphic images.
EDD is far from complex and it's THE ultimate 3rd party tool for explorers and is used by many of us.
But suit yourself.
