New feature: Mark read sections in the scroll bar

I would like to see a new function. Namely, that you can see which pages of the book you have already read and which you have not yet read. The pages you have read could be marked in color in the scroll bar on the web and desktop versions. Like in the screenshot here with blue.

Unfortunately, I have no suggestion as to how this could best be implemented in the mobile app.

This would have the benefit of showing what you have already read and what you haven't. The information itself would have to be known in Logos, otherwise it would not be possible to show what percentage of the book you have already read, or the following display would not work in the iPhone version:

    This could compete with Auto and Favorite Bookmarks in the scroll bar (similar to the horizontal line shown below):

    So it needs to be an option in Settings.

    This function is already performed by wearmarks. The problem with the current implementation is that the reset is global rather than resource specific. I just discovered Logos renames wearmarks somewhere along the way ..

    Show Auto and Favorite Bookmarks

    Verbum shows “wear marks” in the scrollbar of resources to indicate the user’s most visited locations in a resource. These appear as short horizontal gray lines on the right edge of the resource. Additionally, if users add a location to their Favorites, a line will appear also in the resource scroll bar.

    Setting this to Yes turn these lines on; setting it to No turns them off.
