Ok. Having to press Ctrl+D twice and having bookmarks open for speed dial first is both really weird, but holy hell, you did it!
Finally I can add new bookmark folders and even quite nicely search for existing ones! Absolutely awesome!
-
@jumpsq I'm still not sold on the new single-click-to-add-bookmarks UI. The Speed Dial-first is really weird, and I get waaay too many accidental bookmarks as a result of mistyping Ctrl-F. I also have a huge manually-sorted bookmark tree so, after hitting Ctrl-D, I find it faster to go to vivaldi://bookmarks/ , cut the newly-added bookmark and paste it into the exact desired location.
-
@xyzzy I think the dialog should default to the last-used folder, and Ctrl+D would also add the bookmark to that same folder until the users changes it.
- Ctrl+D for quickest method
- Click Add Bookmark icon to edit the bookmark, create a new folder, or to move an existing bookmark.

@xyzzy The speed dial folder isn’t needed at all. The speed dials are present in the other folders. But yeah, shouldn’t be default at least. And I think hitting Save to create a bookmark makes more sense than adding it unasked. A compromise would be to provide a Cancel button instead of the Trash button for a new bookmark dialog. This way it wouldn’t end up in the trash. How that is handled backstage (created – put in trash – deleted) I don’t worry about.
-
@luetage I also do not like the speed-dials-first layout in the new UI. On Desktop, I add bookmarks frequently but rarely add speed dials. It also REALLY messes me up when a new speed dial is added to the top of the folder. It makes sense for bookmarks but I really don't like it when adding a new site bumps ALL the Speed Dials on my Start Page. I would like to see new speed dials added AFTER my other speed dials.
-
@Pesala I have mixed feelings about this; I have too many sub-folders so this would not be much of a help when it comes to keeping my bookmarks organized. (It would also make it harder to locate/clean up those accidentally-created bookmarks that I did not realize I had created.) On the other hand, if we did have this option, I would create a new/incoming bookmark subfolder where I would dump all new bookmarks, then reorganize and do housekeeping/cleanup later.
I think the dialog should default to the last-used folder, and Ctrl+D would also add the bookmark to that same folder until the users changes it.

I'm in the same boat, I find this new behavior insufferable. I've reverted back to the previous snapshot. I hope they aren't set on this direction

@sjudenim This is a Snapshot, we are all testers, and this new "add bookmark" UI is still VERY new code; I doubt that it is complete. I never want to be too quick to judge any change that the Vivaldi team makes because even if I have negative first impressions, there will almost always also be positive aspects to it as well. I will use it for a while before sharing what I like, what I do not like, and how I feel that things could be improved, and I am also confident that the Vivaldi team will take all of our collective, constructive feedback into consideration and make things even better.

2 screen grabs
as can be seen i heavily modify bookmarks bar
the first image is what i achieve in stable version
the second image is in this snapshot with the side panel - i cannot find a way to close the white space between the bookmarks bar and the start page image when i remove the side panel as shown in image 3
in stable i use
/* moves main window left to fill gap left by reducing left toolbar */
#webview-container {
margin-left: -33px !important;
}this no longer works although when i look at the code #webview-container still exists
anyone any thoughts - a bug maybe - work in progress or am i missing something

I'm not sure I understand your response. You've made multiple criticisms already of the new "add bookmark" UI and it's functioning, which I agree with. Hoping for certain functions, features and bug stomping are done is why we have to comment on Snapshots. Of course some things still make it to Stable regardless but saying nothing would achieve nothing.
