 I have few bookmarks, I can edit them, but when I quit Cyberduck, all
 changes I did are gone. If I delete my old bookmark, quit Cyberduck and
 start it again, the old bookmark is back!!! I can make new bookmark(s) and
 they are gone when I start Cyberduck next time. I have dragged my new
 bookmarks in the Desktop and I can drag them back in Cyberduck's window,
 but they are gone when I start Cyberduck next time.

 This has been long time problem - I think more than a year or so.

 Okey, I started to investigate the problem, I destroyded preference file,
 nothing. Then I found Application support folder in my Library, there is
 Cyberduck folder in it and it contains Favorites.plist That's it! There is
 all my OLD bookmarks, I tried to moved it away for testing, but I needed
 my password for that.. hmmm... Kind of unexpected I think.. Ok, I did
 that.. finally all my old bookmarks are gone! But Cyberduck didn't save
 any new bookmarks, they just disappear without warning, just like before!
 No errors or anything, just blank bookmarks window when I started
 Cyberduck again. Then I checked permissions (Command+i) of
 ~/Library/Applications support/Cyberduck folder and those was kind of
 weird I think, grey colored "unknown read/write". All other applications
 support folders permissions was black colored "Me read/write". I deleted
 the whole ~/Library/Application support/Cyberduck folder. Cyberduck made a
 new one when started it and permisiions are "Me read/write", I dragged my
 bookmarks from Desktop into a empty Cyberduck bookmark window, quitted
 Cyberduck and started again, and finally everythiong looks good and
 working ok.

 Maybe that permission problem came when I used Apple's Migration Assistant
 when I got my new Mac a more than a year a go. BUT I think this is
 Cyberduck issue. Some sort of error message or "plan-b" action when it
 cannot save bookmarks into a ~/Library/Application
 support/Cyberduck/Favorites.plist should be done! Average Joe probably
 cannot fix a problem like this.
