Issue 674: Bookmark Management UI http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=674
Comment #9 by garman.chris: Hi, I really like Chrome, but it is obvious that effort has been put into compatibility with existing sites, the rendering and the multi-process secure architechture. The omnibox and opening page are great. Bookmarks and form filling have been neglected. This is what I know about where we are at the moment.... Without the 'always show bookmark bar' setting, the only way to load from a bookmark is via typing in the Omnibox or a new tab. There is no window that allows proper management of bookmarks. You can only select a bookmark in the Other bookmarks menu and right-click and press edit to edit that one bookmark. Bookmarks can be moved around the hierarchy by dragging and dropping. What I propose is a new Navigation menu that is accessed next to the back and forward arrows. This allows easy access to all bookmarks. Additionally it will goto the smart homepage, has a submenu to access all the hidden chrome stats pages and at the moment I have another submenu for managing the 'Chrome Memory' which I have identified as containing History, Downloads (management pages already exist for these two) Bookmarks, Passwords, Search places and Cookies. I have this coded but can't find a way to upload a jpg. The backend storage for history has been improved already, but the others have been ignored. I would propose looking into a way to merge all these. I have lots of ideas for managing bookmarks and integrating this with the Password system. I use RoboForm for passwords and form filling in IE and miss it in Chrome so I am happy to write the equivalent code to add something better to chrome. I would like to add many properties to each bookmark, while keeping the interface very clean and simple: * Organise bookmarks with folders and labels. * Pin bookmark to smart homepage. * Exclude bookmark from smart homepage. * Set bookmark for automatic incognito. * Mark bookmark to show on bookmark bar. * Mark bookmark to show on Navigation menu. * Store passwords and other form entries with bookmark for auto filling. Need password to use passcards and another to view/edit them. * Store favicon and thumbnail for all bookmarked sites. (anyone know why favicons are only stored in history?) * Live access to bookmark stores of other browsers and web services. * Tie bookmarks to SSL entity for better user security. * Report visit history and cookies per bookmark. * Automatically add Search features from favourite sites. * Set site to prefetch all links on page when loading for fast or offline access (Don't clog the pipes! hehe) * Implement more ways to access bookmarks using the smart home page as a start for the idea. * Ability to select passcards, like a bookmark. Selecting will goto the page, fill the form, and submit with not further user intervention. * When on a page with a form, show all matching (based on URL) passcards (In case multiple apply). * Allow user to select any passcard (not just matching), then fill and submit current form automatically. For a bookmark management UI design just look at the manage subscriptions page in Google Reader! I would code a cross between that and the existing history page! I would use special inbuild labels to enable properties of bookmarks (like auto incognito).
