bm-show-all with emacs straight after startup (no open files/buffers)
says
"No bookmarks defined"

If I then open a file where I had previously put a bookmark and do bm-
show-all -- it shows only that file's bookmarks, not the bookmarks in
other files.
So it appears that bm does not know of a bookmark unless you somehow
go to a bookmark and say Hello :-)

Would you classify this as a working bookmark system?

My bm setup attempt is as under:

(setq bm-restore-repository-on-load t)
(require 'bm)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'bm-repository-load)

  ;; Restoring bookmarks when on file find.
  (add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'bm-buffer-restore)

  ;; Saving bookmark data on killing a buffer
  (add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'bm-buffer-save)

  ;; Saving the repository to file when on exit.
  ;; kill-buffer-hook is not called when emacs is killed, so we
  ;; must save all bookmarks first.
  (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook '(lambda nil
	  		             (bm-buffer-save-all)
			             (bm-repository-save)))

  ;; Update bookmark repository when saving the file.
  (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'bm-buffer-save)

  ;; Restore bookmarks when buffer is reverted.
  (add-hook 'after-revert-hook 'bm-buffer-restore)



(autoload 'bm-toggle   "bm" "Toggle bookmark in current buffer." t)
(autoload 'bm-next     "bm" "Goto bookmark."                     t)
(autoload 'bm-previous "bm" "Goto previous bookmark."            t)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f8>")   'bm-next)
(global-set-key (kbd "<M-f8>") 'bm-previous)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-f8>") 'bm-toggle)
(setq-default bm-buffer-persistence t)
