That did it, thank you for the help and the plugin! I have a few notes.
* As expected, 0.60 did not work, I had to use the PPA 0.63 on Linux Mint 17. * My work machine does not display the Toolbar, so I installed the plugin, restarted, checked "Edit > Prefs > Plugins > BookmarksBar" and...nothing happened. I had to turn on my toolbar so I could then turn on the bookmarks bar. That's already pretty clear in the docs, I mention it only because it took me a moment to figure out why it "didn't work" after I enabled it. * This is awesome! It is something I've been faking by using "View > Pathbar > Recent pages" but obviously that is dynamic. What I really wanted was...this! I've been meaning to get around to asking for it... * +1 for an *option* to display only the page name without the full path (like "View > Pathbar > Recent pages" does). Jaap, PLEASE consider making this an official (perhaps core?) plugin! At the very least, Pl, please consider moving it in to https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki so more folks can find it. Meanwhile, for the record, here is what I did to get the Bookmark plugin to work on Linux Mint 17: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jaap.karssenberg/zim $ sudo aptitude update $ sudo aptitude install zim $ wget 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4457755/+files/bookmarksbar.py' $ wget 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4456183/+files/add-bookmark.png' $ wget 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4457758/+files/BookmarksBar.txt' $ [ -d /usr/share/zim/plugins ] || sudo mkdir /usr/share/zim/plugins $ sudo mv -v bookmarksbar.py /usr/share/zim/plugins $ sudo mv -v add-bookmark.png /usr/share/zim/pixmaps $ sudo mv -v BookmarksBar.txt /usr/share/zim/manual/Plugins/ Thanks again to Pl, and as always to Jaap.
