Bookmarking tabs that are intended to be added to an existing bookmarks folder always creates a ‘New folder’ for them – even though none is wanted or specified when they are saved.
How can those bookmarks be added without a new folder being created for them?
@mk7z umm, not sure what you’re seeing. Haven’t had any such issue in a long time. So like when I hit the bookmark button set a bookmark:
It immediately pops up with whatever I had used last time:
I changed it and then tried, but sure enough, kept last open folder:
But I’m also using that ribbon and not a keyboard shortcut or anything, but it should all be the same. What steps are you using and what exactly are you seeing?
Thanks, @Saoiray. I don’t use the button (just the Bookmarks dropdown) though that shouldn’t matter.
Typically, this is when i have already created a bookmarks folder with ‘Bookmark All Tabs’.
Later, I’ve added tabs to the same browser window and want to include them in the same bookmarks folder.
Since there’s no way to spec multiple bookmarks for a ‘save’, I move them to another new window.
Then I do another ‘Bookmark All Tabs’ with no new destination folder, intending to get those tabs into the same folder created earlier.
Instead, those bookmarks appear in a new folder labeled ‘New Folder’ as a subfolder within that existing folder.
In the Save dialog I don’t enter any name on the folder line or in the ‘New folder’ field at the bottom of the dialog, so I don’t understand why a new subfolder is created.
@mk7z I see, just tested and I get it. The issue is when doing Bookmark all tabs. I’m guessing this was done as an intentional design as it’s kind of assuming the same as it being like a tab group. So it’s being grouped up into a single folder rather than getting jumbled up with other things, especially if it might be a large number of bookmarks.
I’m sure you’re aware, but if you right click on a bookmark folder you can open them all at the same time.
Guessing may just have to be more of a Brave Feature Requests to get it to behave differently, but also going to tag in @Mattches on it as that’s more up his alley.
@Saoiray The problem, as I see it, is that the only options are Bookmark This Tab and Bookmark All Tabs, without a way to select multiple (but not ‘all’) tabs in a browser window for bookmarking.
Even then, one might reasonably think that if no ‘new folder’ is entered in the ‘Save’ dialog, the user just wants the selected tabs added to the default (or selected) folder, not put in a subfolder.
Thanks for tagging @mattches. I"ll also create a Feature Request.
