big problem with Bookmark that bothers
-
Hi, so I'm new to Vivaldi and so far I've been loving the browser, until I went to the bookmark area and discovered a problem there that bothers me
the problem with me searching bookmarks, it searches bookmarks and opens them normally, the problem is when I search for folders, in other browsers, when I search for folders, it or when I click on the folder found it opens and has the option to show the location of the folder, the same with bookmarks
now why aren't these two things in Vivaldi? and when do you guys intend to put them in?
or would there be a workaround for this?
because I use bookmarks a lot and I don't want to have to change browsers

No estimate is ever given of when a feature request will be implemented. There are over 5,400 requests; many of which have more than a 100 votes. That one has only 18 after three years, and is not tagged yet as being worked on.
Look for alternative workflows.

But then, what could I do to for them to make this request as being worked on?

What do you mean alternative workflows?

Not much. Vote for the first post in the feature request topic, comment at the end to explain why it is important to you, and then wait a few years for it to get implemented.
Even we long-term Ambassadors, Moderators, and Sopranos have little or no influence on what gets pushed to the top of the queue, which is why I suggest looking for other workflows to achieve your aims.
Someone may pass by with some workarounds that help your use-case, or you can search the forum, or figure it out for yourself (recommended as you will learn more about Vivaldi in the process).
The best that I discovered so far is:
- Search for the folder in the Bookmarks Panel
- Select the folder
- Delete the search term
- Scroll down to the selected folder
- Expand it if necessary with the cursor key

I love your optimism.
It is the only way to live. My
may be empty at the moment, but I have water and electricity. What more does a man need? -
This isn't an ideal solution for your need, but might help some. Go to the bookmarks page (vivaldi://bookmarks/). Right click on any bookmark or folder (not in the search box). In the pop-up, find Settings, near the bottom. Make sure that Tree Search is selected. Now you can search in the search box, and the search finds both bookmarks and folders. Then I do a quick visual scan. I look for lines that are indented less than the previous line. If that previous line is a folder and not a bookmark, that folder was retrieved fully on its own, not because of bookmarks in that folder, which is what I am usually looking for. If you want to see folders that are retrieved on their own, but are in the folder hierarchy of a bookmark, then unfortunately you have to scan the name of each folder.
