Feature Request: Add last used folders to initial blank grey space under "Search folder..."

Open menace97 opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

This is a very useful extension - thank you very much for your efforts!

One thing that would make this MUCH more useful for myself at least, would be to utilize that big empty grey area under "Search folder..." which contains the text "No matching folders"

My suggestion/request is to populate that empty area with previously used folders in the session, etc. in order of last used or most used.

By having this are have perhaps the last 10 or so last folders bookmarks were "sent to" it would make sending next bookmarks that would most likely be sent to one of those previously used folders very easy and quick.

E.g. If I had 7 bookmarks that I wanted to send to the same folder using your extension, I would need to type part of the keyword of that folder to find the folder every time I wanted to send each of the 7 bookmarks, one after another to that same folder.

Two existing extensions have added this functionality (but have a different searching algorithm I believe). Both of these extensions have not been maintained or updated in a long time unfortunately. To see what I am suggesting, the two I have found useful for this function are:

Chrome Better Bookmark https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-bookmark/pniopfmciclllcpockpkgceikipiibol https://github.com/ardcore/chrome-better-bookmark

Chrome Faster Bookmark https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/faster-bookmark-add-bookm/fibadljlplamppipiebabkdehecpabce https://github.com/minhanhhere/chrome-faster-bookmark

Thank you for your consideration. This is a fantastic extension already!

The extension has been uploaded to the Chrome Web Store and it's currently under revision, given the new "storage" permission was needed in order to store the recently used folders. I expect it to be up in less than one week.

The extension has also been uploaded to the Firefox Addons Center, it will be available in a few days.

Was this option ever added to the Firefox version? Because it's not working and I do not see such an option
