Manage or organize?

Post by NotNull »

Manage Bookmarks
Organize Filters
Organize Result Omissions

Suggestion: standardize the terminology.

Manage Bookmarks is currently the odd one out.

Manage Bookmarks behaves differently to Organize Filters and Organize Result Omissions.

You can open bookmarks from Manage Bookmarks.
whereas Organize Filters and Organize Result Omissions only let you edit existing items. (can't active a filter from organize filters)

Everything 1.4 doesn't let you open bookmarks from Organize Bookmarks.

This was one of the reasons to use a different name.



Now that we have a Bookmarks -> Open Bookmark dialog I will consider going back to Organize Bookmarks and allowing edits only (no opening of bookmarks)

I miss being able to edit a bookmark with double click.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Me too!
(currently right-clicking the <bookmark> menu entry to edit it to prevent me from pressing 'ENTER' in the Manage dialog)

Or make Edit the default button/action, instead of Open.
Comes in handy when building and testing bookmarks through myltiple iterations. No need to switch; all can be done in one dialog.

Everything 1.5.0.1358a improves bookmarks.

Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks... is now for editing bookmarks.
You can still open bookmarks by right-clicking an item and clicking Open.

Use Bookmarks -> Open Bookmark... to find and open a bookmark.
