Description

This is a two-panel bookmarks manager for your browser. It works similar to the famous Total Commander. You can move items between the panels or view two different directories simultaneously. Instruction: Click on the toolbar button once to open the commander in a new browser tab. By default the left panel has focus. Use arrow up and arrow down keys to navigate. Use Enter to move to a directory. To move the other panel simply press The left or right arrow key. Shortcuts: [open links]: Press Enter key to open on the same tab. Press Ctrl + Enter or Command + Enter to open in a background tab or use double-click to open on the same tab. Press Ctrl/Command while double-clicking to open in a background tab. [select multiple bookmarks]: Ctrl/Command with left-click to select more items. [copy links to the clipboard]: Ctrl + C or Command + C to copy selected links to the clipboard. [copy titles to the clipboard]: Ctrl + X or Command + X to copy selected titles to the clipboard. [directly navigate to a bookmark]: Press the first character of the title multiple times to navigate between items starting with this particular character [move one step up]: Use backspace to navigate to the parent directory [move between left and right panels]: use Tab key to toggle between panels. Use Ctrl + 1 or Command + 1 to move to the left tab. Use Ctrl + 2 or Command + 2 to move to the right tab. You can alternatively use arrow-left and right to move between panels. [move selected bookmarks and folders to the other panel]: Use Ctrl/Command + right arrow key to move selected items to the right panel when the left panel is focused. Use Ctrl/Command + left arrow key to move selected items to the left panel when the right panel is focused. [sort items]: Ctrl/Command + J for A-Z and Ctrl/Command + Shift + J for Z-A [find duplicated bookmarks]: Ctrl/Command + Shift + F; use the "duplicates" keyword on the search bar to find all duplicated bookmarks in the current directory and subdirectories. [move bookmarks between different browsers]: Ctrl/Command + Y to export selected bookmarks to the clipboard, then use Ctrl/Command + P to import them to the new machine. This way you can transfer bookmarks between two browsers. [configurations]: Use Ctrl/Command + S to access configuration panel. You can change the font size and font family of the interface or change the color scheme (theme) of the interface (dark, light, or based on your OS color scheme) or toolbar icon's color. It is also possible to use the new "VIM" mode to support VIM-compatible navigation (still in progress). Notes: 1. When an operation is not allowed, the button is disabled. 2. You can see all the shortcuts by placing your mouse over the buttons. 3. You can drag and drop bookmarks between panes 4. You can use right-click context menu to open links in new windows

Well, it is one of a kind, I guess. But the UI is horrible - no F-keys hotkeys, and with dragndrop there's no way to drag a bookmark INTO a folderl... But what is unforgivable is that it opens its website every time it's installed/updated.

Very good idea but two important useability problems that both remove stars from the result. FIrst the tab column width once set manually are not stored and reset with a tiny title field while having a giant URL (which is much less important when organizing). And the number one mistake is that i can't preview the page without leaving the window. Can't even find a "open in other tab" in the context menu. It makes using it to reorganize your bookmarks impossible to use when you have to look at a page to remember what it was about.

Nice idea :-) However, on my machine and with my browser, running certain searches spikes memory usage and processor, page becomes unresponsive. Closing the page and reopening (by clicking the extension icon) does not reset it. Suggestion: - sort by clicking on the coloumn headers (asc, desc, no-sort) - search / filter only in selected coloumn - tags - as others said - right-click menu - faster operation ;-)

This is a great idea and a good implementation, yet needs a few more things: - Undo / Redo. - Rename Title. Also - how to edit the bookmark's title, if Ctrlt+T opens a new tab?

Can this sort all bookmarks? Or only the active folder?

I do like the innovative NC interface, so good intentions, but execution was something else. My goal is to remove hundreds, maybe thousands of dupes. Tried deleting a small group of 50 or so as a test, and it is SO SLOW! They seemed to delete, but then it just got hung and unresponsive. Tried quitting Chrome, but now it won't re-launch. Tried "restart" as well as all the other available options to launch it but still no response. I guess it might still be there somewhere running in the background, but doesn't show on Activity Monitor, so can't kill it (is there a unique process name for it?). I suppose a reboot would clear it out, but that's just not how any software is supposed to work.

The idea to use classic file manager UI for bookmarks is a good one, implementation is useless. Not enough search options (actually none). Weird, irrational decisions for UI, like changing background color for no reason.
