A bookmark file can be anywhere, and you can have any number of them. Even vanilla Emacs has command `bookmark-load', and that lets you load a bookmark file (located anywhere), either (1) replacing the existing set of current bookmarks or (2) adding to that existing set. > I tried to use `bookmark-file' as a file local > variable - this has no effect. `C-h v bookmark-file' tells you that it is "Old name for `bookmark-default-file'." The latter's name and doc string tell you that its value is just the _default_ location for a bookmark file, e.g. for prompting when you save or load: "File in which to save bookmarks by default." > Then I tried with > `bookmark-default-file' as file local variable - > this is also ignored unless you bind > `bookmark-bookmarks-timestamp' to nil in addition. > While this finally worked and I could use a > file-local bookmark file, my real bookmark file > got erased in the process... I don't understand what you're trying to do; sorry. You can have your own variables, file-local or not, to do anything, including to point to bookmark files, which can be anywhere. I think maybe you are confusing the default bookmark-file location with the location of a given bookmark file. But it's not clear to me just what you want to do. > I learned that authors of the vanilla bookmark code didn't intend to > support using multiple bookmark files like this. Dunno what "like this" means here.
