Hi,
I've just started really looking at the new bookmark editor in detail recently, and I do like it a lot over the old one (was there an old one? Certainly a quantum leap (?oxymoron!) improvement over the *original* Netscape (or was it Mosaic) bookmark management interface (anybody else remember that - with just the arrows?)
A few suggestions for thought (I don't mean to be too fussy, the bookmark editor really is great, and I know there are more important things that should be improved/fixed for the next major release [still 0.8?]):
1. A status bar to show the address of a selected bookmark in the list.
2. When a new item is created, the list should scroll to it.
3. A way to open a bookmark in a new window (cmd-click, like in webpages?)
4. Possibly have a feature so that if you have a browser window open and a separate bookmarks window, the *default* behavior is to open the bookmark in the other window. Or have that be default behavior for the Cmd-click. I don't know about this exactly.
5. In the 'new' dialog (from the editor and bookmark menu), a way to enter both the name and address, for rare times when you'd want to do this (offline, perhaps) With auto-complete on the address.
6. If I type in an address into the field, but not load it, and then make a bookmark, it comes up with 'about:blank'. I don't like this for times when I'm adding bookmarks when I'm offline (I'm in a unfortunate slight-to-moderate minority/majority (?) who still has a non-always-on dial-up connection..) Note that idea 5 for auto-completion of an address field when adding would make this unneeded.
