Open bookmarks folder with a single click [solved]

[luetage]

@maximwaldow Careful, it’s javascript. And it won’t have the desired effect, it’s just an example for simulating a double click in the panel, it doesn’t target folders in the bookmarks panel.

You can try this, it just stretches the triangles and makes them invisible (made specifically for the panel; if you want it also in the full-page bookmarks manager, you’ll have to alter the selector at least)

.panel-bookmarks .vivaldi-tree .tree-row.folder .expand-icon svg {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    fill: transparent !important;
    transform: none !important;
}

@potmeklecbohdan That's nifty, makes sense.

Great. Well done. This seems to work. I can open the folder with one click now. The triangles are hidden which makes the structure more clean and overseeable.

Now at last it would be nice if the open folder would close automatically if I open another folder.

Sorry, I think this would be harder (not impossible)… and surely it’s only possible with JS.

@luetage No, actually I don’t think Vivaldi provides an element that does this (so nothing can be stretched and hidden).

By the way, the trick I used was invented by someone else & much earlier, I was just too lazy to search for it.

@potmeklecbohdan I know, I just tried to be funny and failed miserably :|

@luetage I got the joke, but I (yet again) replied too seriously… Sorry, this is one of the most basic features of my personality.

Again an ingenious addon of those days (old Firefox 52.9) which did exactly that. Out of a sentimental mood I keep the old version still installed though rarely using it.
