Add Folder to Bookmarks

Uhhā€¦ now Iā€™m not sure any more :joy:

Letā€™s ask @JP1 then.

I was asking about the latter, but the former also sounds good (but we may as well have the ability to add custom tabs at that point.

@JP1 If you did mean bookmarking folders, my question then is: What would ā€˜navigatingā€™ to the folder (the primary purpose of bookmarks) mean?

Iā€™m sorry that I missed your question earlier, but Iā€™m afraid I do not understand it.

Are you saying that this would make bookmarks redundant?

I guess the way I see it, is that bookmarks would consist of files/folders that are currently in use and easier to access via the file pane. Of course, one can use ctrl+O if they know the name of the file, but in the case that they do not, theyā€™ll have the bookmarks bar to find it.

My question is, what would having folders as bookmarks do? Like, what would happen if you clicked on them in the bookmarks pane?

I guess it could include the folder and contents, and make a shortcut in the bookmarks bar, or jump to itā€™s location in the file pane and then open it from there, assuming that the former would be too much.

Which one do you think would be better (if not an alternative)?

If may chime in: Iā€™d like to see this feature as well ā€“ being able to bookmark folders.

For instance, I operate a number of websites. The sites are organized in Tiers. I have a folder for each Tier, and each of those folders include sub-folders for the sites in that Tier. Each of those subfolders include documents with pertinent information.

Like so:

Tier 1 [Folder]

  • Site A [Folder]
    ā€“ Information abc
    ā€“ Details xyz
  • Site B [Folder]
    ā€“ Information abc
    ā€“ Sources xyz

In that example I can currently bookmark Information abc in folder Site A. But it would be handy to be able to bookmark the folder for Site A in order to get an overview of all the docs. For the same reason, it would be handy for me to bookmark the Tier 1 folder in order to get a quick overview of all the folders (sites) there.

The other suggestion ā€“ the ability to organize bookmarks in folders ā€“ makes sense as well.

I guess a current workaround would be to include similar hashtags in the document titles, but that could get messy.

This feels a slippery slope to recreating all of list functionality at the document level. I much like

more, or perhaps just even making the documents and bookmarks pane the same??

Another hidden requirement of this feature is that thereā€™s no behavior of ā€œgoing to a folderā€ right now. Ideally it should scroll to reveal that folder, highlight it, and open it if itā€™s closed, but thatā€™s not implemented yet. After thatā€™s implemented, making files bookmarkable is trivial.

That would work for me as well, yes, I guess.

I do see this as two separate suggestions, though:

  • Ability to bookmark folders
  • Ability to organize bookmarks in folders

The first for reasons I mentioned above.
The second because I can imagine ending up with lots of bookmarks

Iā€™d like to second the potential utility of

ā€œAbility to organize bookmarks in foldersā€

Bookmarks are much more usable in dynalist than WF. I can see Iā€™d potentially make a lot. In which case, Iā€™d like to be able to organise them.

I have a Strong need for this Feature as Ihave several Documents and Want to ORganize and View/Access my Bookmarks by Folder.

Being able to create a Divider would be a stop gap feature.

I also would love to having folders to organize my bookmarks

Yes, please!

I also very much miss the ability to organize bookmarks in folders (although I realize the original poster of this thread potentially had something else in mind).

I currently have a huge single bookmarks list, and itā€™s really difficult to navigate it quickly, having to swipe up and down the very long/tall list all the time.

Being able to create bookmark folders and sub-folders, just like in the docs hierarchy, would be a great help. Thank you.

Almost 5 years on from the start of this thread.

Please please please can we get bookmark folders?!

Yeahā€¦ Itā€™s pretty awful to have just one gigantic column of bookmarks, with zero ability to organize them, apart from sequenceā€¦ :roll_eyes:

Itā€™s next up on the roadmap together with ā€œmerge multiple items into oneā€.

These would be two nice quality of life improvements before the end of the year.
