Yeah, it's one of the things I like about CheckPlaces. But it's
optional; it can be disabled when setting up the checkup run.

Not, however, that it will only check for the presence of a
favicon.ico file at the root of the domain. Other sorts of site icons
(other image formats, loaded from the page header) won't be preloaded by
CheckPlaces.

I'm no expert, but I have an extension named CheckPlaces 2.6.2 that I 
have been using for years.  When run, it checks all your bookmarks to 
insure their currency, and provides lists of duplicates, and other 
categories, and shows where the bookmark is in your hierarchy.  When you 
have a lot of bookmarks, it takes a while to run, but I think it might 
help with what you want to do.


I agree that it would be useful to be able to search for a bookmark 
containing a given word, and find out where the found bookmarks are in 
your hierarchy.  I'm going to try the suggestions that have been posted 
when I have some time.

1. Visit the bookmarked URL.
2. There should be a bookmark icon on the right side of the Location
bar. Click on it to edit the bookmark.
3. The 'Edit Bookmark' panel should appear. To the right, after the
Folder drop-down menu, there should be a separate arrow. Click on that

That should expand the folder tree, and show you which folder the

On my location bar (I'm using 2.14.1, just like you), the tooltip reads 
Edit this bookmark and the icon is a NW/SE angled light green bar with 
a hairline black border, the top (NW) end being convex and the bottom 
(SE) end concave. When I click it, I get just what Chris described -- a 
dialog that allows me to edit the bookmark.


To the right of this icon is a downward-pointing triangle that pulls up 
the recent history of sites I've visited, and then after that is the 
Search button.


I see nothing in the prefs that would allow the user to modify this. 
Have you installed an add-on that does?

The URL you bookmarked was probably redirected to the URL you ended up at.
For instance, if you have bookmarked:
http://seamonkey-project.org/
then visit that bookmark, you'll get redirected to
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

 cannot see what you hope to gain by knowing where a bookmark

 each of which is to a page that tells you where each bookmark
 in which you are interested is stored ?  What happens when
 that list, too, gets too big ?  A third-level index ?


 Convince me it is useful, and I will support you; but at
 the moment I cannot envisage your need to know, nor the
 benefit that you hope to derive from the knowledge.

 Not useful to find where an old Bookmark was stored ?
 Not useful ! ?
 Perhaps you speak about the location of this bookmark in the middle of
 the bookmarks list.
 and Philip think you need to know where in the disk file it is.
I think Philip is just antagonizing everyone and is bored. I understood
the question just fine and have the same thoughtn as at times I may have
2 or 3 bookmarks of the same site in different folders.

I've tried following what you did and no luck - so back to basics:

I'm under WIN XP in SMs browser 2.14.1

Under Bookmarks \ Bookmarks Manager \ Bookmarks Menu \ I see the top level
of bookmark groups (couple dozen groups with 2-5 levels under them)

Selecting one group and then moving to the right screen and selecting one
URL, a window pops up down below with text boxes with the name, location and
tags; plus a more link.  The location bar (text box) shows the URL only, (no
green icon at the the right end) and I don't have any tooltips.

Any suggestions?  I've been collecting these bookmarks for years and would
like to gradually get duplicates together where I could find them and to
recognize their grouping for some application need.

Compact Menu 2 v4.3.1 is the problem.  It hides the top toolbar, and 
makes all those menus available by including a new icon on the 
navigation bar, to the left of the Back arrow.  It must be that function 
which 'breaks' the pop-up of the Edit menu as described earlier.  I'll 
let the developer know.

I tried visiting a bookmarked item to see this, and fell over at the
first hurdle.
*-Picked a bookmark at random, page opens
*-Location Bar has an icon at the right end, tool tip shows 'Bookmark
this page'
*-Click on the icon, red * appears on icon, tool tip changes to 'edit
this bookmark'
*-Click on the icon, appearance doesn't change, nothing else happens

What am I missing?


On my location bar (I'm using 2.14.1, just like you), the tooltip
reads Edit this bookmark and the icon is a NW/SE angled light
green bar with a hairline black border, the top (NW) end being
convex and the bottom (SE) end concave. When I click it, I get just
what Chris described -- a dialog that allows me to edit the
bookmark.

To the right of this icon is a downward-pointing triangle that
pulls up the recent history of sites I've visited, and then after
that is the Search button.

I see nothing in the prefs that would allow the user to modify
this. Have you installed an add-on that does?



I've tried following what you did and no luck...


I was able to replicate what Chris described in reply to you for the 
case where the URL in the location bar is not already bookmarked. For 
example, when the bookmarked page is redirected and the destination is 
not bookmarked. But once I had the current URL bookmarked, the procedure 
worked as expected (as I described).



... - so back to basics:

I'm under WIN XP in SMs browser 2.14.1

Under Bookmarks \ Bookmarks Manager \ Bookmarks Menu \ I see the top
level of bookmark groups (couple dozen groups with 2-5 levels under
them)

Selecting one group and then moving to the right screen and selecting
one URL, a window pops up down below with text boxes with the name,
location and tags; plus a more link.  The location bar (text box)
shows the URL only, (no green icon at the the right end) and I don't
have any tooltips.

Any suggestions?  I've been collecting these bookmarks for years and
would like to gradually get duplicates together where I could find
them and to recognize their grouping for some application need.


I suppose if you could export the bookmarks file to a format such as CSV 
or XLS, you could sort the table as you pleased in Excel, Access, etc., 
delete the undesirables, and then reimport. But with several levels of 
nested folders, that could get complicated.

If one were to ask a garage where to find the camshaft

that the garage was making a mountain out of a mole hill

If I want to find a Bookmark in my HUGE collection of them,
I press Ctrl-B, then type in the Key Word.
Great - that finds where the Key Word is.
Howeverit does not indicate WHERE the link is in my HUGE

It finds it, but doesn't show me WHERE is is !

Mr. Taylor - I would then know where in my Bookmarks to look for the 
entry if I had forgotten where I put it.
My Bookmarks file is HUGE and if I don't use ALL of it often, I forget 
where (Filename  maybe Subfilename)I put the Bookmark.


Mr. Ross - So this was requested over 12 years ago and has been ignored 
all that time.  OMG.

Probably by people who don't understand WHY it was requested (Mr. Taylor).

All the programmers would have to add is another part showing where in 
the bookmarks the entry is (directory type output).

But why do you need to know where to look ?  The bookmarks

If one has a large file where one has forgotten where to look in it for 
an Item, once it is found by a search function, why keep using the 
search function - why not be able to go into the file and find it yourself.
i.e.- If you use the search part all the time, why even HAVE a flop down 
Bookmark Menu in the first place.
You seem to not like the Bookmark Menu - you want to go directly to the

So remove the Bookmarks header and just put Bookmark Search.

I think there should be some indication of where the bookmark
is located in the (sometimes very big) bookmark tree, or a 'go to 
bookmark' button, which will open the bookmarks window (it not open) and 
open the apropriate (sic) bookmark folder and highlight the bookmark in

1. Visit the bookmarked URL.

3. The 'Edit Bookmark' panel should appear. To the right, after the

 satisfying that string appears without any indication where those
 bookmarks are located AMONG ALL THE OTHER BOOKMARKS (not in the user's
 profile), including in which bookmarks folder they might be located.
 


Sorry for misinterpreting his meaning of File and directory (File Name).

I am glad someone here can read minds. I can't.

 What use would you be able to make of that information if you had it ?
 Philip Taylor


 Given that I might have the same bookmark in two or more different
 folders, I might want to move one specific instance to a different
 folder or I might want to delete only one specific instance.

 
 Exactly.
 Perhaps I didn't explain my suggestion sufficiently that Mr. Taylor was
 confused about it.
 ? ? ? ? ?
 Sometimes one does not use the correct jargon for a specialty field...
 


Good thing we have mind readers in these groups. :)

If I want to find a Bookmark in my HUGE collection of them,
I press Ctrl-B, then type in the Key Word.
Great - that finds where the Key Word is.
Howeverit does not indicate WHERE the link is in my HUGE
collection of Bookmarks.
It finds it, but doesn't show me WHERE is is !
What File is it in ?
The search results should also show what directory (File Name)
etc the reference is in.


1. Visit the bookmarked URL.
2. There should be a bookmark icon on the right side of the Location
bar. Click on it to edit the bookmark.
3. The 'Edit Bookmark' panel should appear. To the right, after the
Folder drop-down menu, there should be a separate arrow. Click on that
arrow.

That should expand the folder tree, and show you which folder the
bookmark is in.



Amazing !
Would have never known that that was there !
How many of you responders knew about THAT ?

Thank you Mr. Ilias !
