Drag-Configurable Bookmarks Bar Folder Menus
-
back to topic!
After a year, I gave the browser a second chance, and was amazed that the feature is still not implemented - for me it is a very basic function for all-day browsing! -
@Tosch It is much more than a year, as you could guess from the bug-report number of VB-9419 given by QuHno.
The issue is as old as the Bookmarks Bar itself. However, as explained many times, it takes more work to implement than some people realise. I suspect that it won't happen in 2019 either, so come back next year, or learn to sort your bookmarks in the Bookmarks Panel or Bookmarks Tab.

I've done some web development involving HTML drag and drop and I can attest to the fact that it is particularly nasty to develop.
I wouldn't even begin to imagine how you would actually write a test suite for it.

@Pesala - thx for answering - I'm amazed you think it's just an exotic feature, and not central.
In my environment is much project-related work, and without a constant adjustment or re-arangement of the bookmarks, the work would be much more harder. -

I said no such thing. Please don't put words into my mouth.

@Tosch A full-featured bookmark bar is planned. But getting it, unfortunately, is not easy like flipping a switch.

@Ayespy Nice to hear. Thanks.
-
Though not mentioned in the Snapshot Blog as far as I can see, this is now implemented in Snapshot 2.4.1483.4, so the thread should be tagged as In Progress (not Done until/unless it makes it to the Stable build of 2.4.
If anything other than Sort Manually is selected for the Bookmarks Bar, Drag and Drop still works, but the change is not reflected until Sort is changed to Sort Manually.
-
This is now DONE.
-
@greybeard this is a good workaround, better than nothing, thx for suggesting
-
@dogmaJo As mention above, workarounds are no longer required. For a long time now one has been able to drag and drop bookmarks between bookmark folders and subfolders.
-
I'm not seeing this at all. I'm trying to drag from the address bar to folders on the bookmarks bar and if I'm doing something wrong, or if the latest version dropped support for this since 21 Jan 2020 please let me know.
Alternatively, if there's a little video or some sort of tutorial showing how to drag from the address bar to a folder in the bookmarks bar please let me know.
I'm running Vivaldi 3.5.2115.87 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision 63862004ac4fa761fcf3c744cd6ac9ef44284b9cThis is kind of a dealbreaker the way I organize bookmarks constantly, and I've tried opening up the bookmarks panel on the side and that's just not manageable. I look forward to hearing back on a technique or something in case I'm missing what to do, or finding out if this has really been resolved at all.
Thanks

@tallship What is your "organize by" setting?

Drag to Bookmarks Bar Folder
Drag Bookmark in Folder
As requested by this feature request.
As mentioned above, to drop into a specific place inside a folder, one must us the Bookmark Panel. That is more efficient to organise bookmarks. They usually need to be renamed too, which is also easier in the Panel. Just click twice or press F2.
