Some Thoughts
Looks very good (especially search functionality for Bookmarks was badly needed), but I still miss something in this UI while doing a Search: In Search Result, one should not only see the Name and Location (url) of Bookmarks, but also somehow the Place where it is stored in the own Bookmarks (Folder, Subfolder etc.). This would greatly help to organize an highly nested Bookmark structure (delete duplicates etc.). While big Hierarchies might be bad, some Users are simply used to this and probably will never change their habits. --Stebs
We imagined exposing some of this through the properties window. Ben
Great! No clutter for normal Users, but the functionality is still there... Stebs
Any chance of multiple bookmark toolbar folders, like the way flock does it?--Noamsml
I second Stebs's request. Also could the Search function return not just bookmarks whose name contains the searched string, but also _folders_ whose name contains the searched string, and if at all possible bookmarks whose _url_ contains the searched string --MichelJullian 16:55, 7 Jan 2006 (PST)
Will Linux users be able to use drag'n'drop to rearrange bookmarks from the menu? Kezo
Here is a bookmarks feature idea I recently had. I visit a bookmarked page and get a "this page has moved to.... you wil be redirected" page, then end up on the new page. It would be really nice if in one or two cliks I could update the bookmark I just visited to the new page I am on. (Maybe a right click menu.) --Godfreja
