Create and file Safari bookmarks at the same time
Authored by: Frederico on Jul 28, '04 11:50:08AM

Hmmm... I must be missing something here. When I want to file a bookmark in a specific folder in the Safari Bookmarks "library", I simply hit Command-D, and I'm greeted with a prompt that allows me to both name and place the bookmark in any available folder. Granted, it adds that bookmark to the end of the list in said folder, but at least it's categorized properly.

When I don't care about which folder it goes into, I just hit Command-Shift-D, which places the new bookmark in the general hierarchy at the end of the list as you describe.

Other than being able to place the new bookmark at a different order point in any given folder, or the ability to create a new folder prior to placement, I cannot see any advantage to your method; indeed, it seems tedious.

Again, if I'm missing something, I'd like to better understand your hint.

Cheers

Have you ever tried to navigate a few hundred sub-folders in a drop-down list? Granted, not everyone has such an archive, but I've used nothing but the hint above since switching to Safari last year.

Mileage varies according to use :)

I guess that makes sense; it's just that I no longer keep any folders more than three deep, and not many at that; too much web content seems to die or expire or move these days. If I really want to see it again, I make sure to save a local archive -- and I can't wait for Tiger's Safari, which allows archives IE style.

I guess the main reason I dislike this hint for myself is that it requires a mouse. With Universal access via Command-D, then Tab, arrow and letter keys, I can rapidly keystroke exactly where I want to be without ever touching the pointing device; something I despise under the best of conditions, let alone on my PowerBook and my *terrible* control problems with trackpads (I tend to be very static-y, and lose control quickly).

Thanks for the feedback.
