Severity: wishlist
Hi!
The order defined by the user for his/her bookmarks and bookmark folders
should be stored along with the bookmark themselves and preserved.
The reason is that the user-defined order is often significant and should
not be messed with.
Example: suppose I use the "New Folder" button in the sidepanel to
create four bookmark folders named "first", "second", "third", and "fourth".
Suppose that I create these folders in the above-described order.
The sidepanel shows
first
second
third
fourth
as it should, but the Bookmarks menu shows
first
fourth
second
third
which seems to be a lexicographical order (has the feature requested
in bug #535589 been implemented, after all?).
However, if I change my mind and want to alter the order of these
four folders, I cannot get what I would like to: if I drag "first"
to the bottom (within the sidepanel), I get the following order
in the sidepanel
third
second
fourth
first
while I expected to see
second
third
fourth
first
The bookmarks menu still shows
first
fourth
second
third
What I would like to see, as I anticipated above, is Midori preserving
the user-defined order for bookmarks.
More in detail:
* bookmarks and bookmark folders should be shown in the user-defined
order, both in the sidepanel and in the Bookmarks menu
* the user should be able to modify the order by simply dragging
elements (bookmarks or bookmark folders) up and down in the sidepanel,
and by cutting, copying, and pasting them
* there should be a "Sort" menu entry (in the menu that appears when
you right-click on a folder in the sidepanel): this entry should
lexicographically sort all the elements in the folder (so that
the submitter of bug #535589 could be happy, too), but should
not prevent future order modifications by the user
* the concept of "bookmark separators" should be implemented (please
see how this concept is used in the Galeon web browser)
I hope this makes sense and may be easily implemented.
Please forward this feature request upstream, if appropriate.
Thanks for your time.
