Issue
bookmarks working great but loose when copying or moving file (sometimes).
Steps to reproduce
Copy and paste the pdf and bookmarks not present
Expected behaviour
It would be really good not to loose the bookmarks associated with a particular pdf.
Currently the bookmarks are being saved to a metadata file in a config directory.
Other information
A seperate bookmark file would be helpful to ensure that the bookmarks can be transferred with the pdf file. It would also be helpful to add bookmarks using this separate file stored in the same location as the pdf file. Multiple users can use the same bookmarks.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how bookmarks are saved and loaded from the config-directory metadata file, then examine what happens when a PDF is copied or moved. Done means bookmarks remain available after copying or moving the PDF, with any shared bookmark-file behavior covered by tests.
