[feature]: Favourites Folder #92

Open acambule opened 7 years ago

acambule commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

first great tool, i really like the approach of the add-ons.

I use the horizontal-favourites-bar and what I'm looking for is the possibility to group the favourite links together into a favourite-folder.

so instead of having: fav1 - fav2 - fav3

we could have: fav1 - fav-folder - fav4 - fav-folder

its some kind of a menu where the links are the items of a submenu.

Is that possible out of the box? I haven't really understood how the customizing in tablacus work, so maybe it's possible but i don't know how. If not, would be cool if there was an update to the add-on.

Thanks and regards Antonio

There are two methods.

Method 1 - Enclose menus with "Menus - Open" and "Menus - Close".

Choose "Type" to "Menus". Click "Browse..." and select "Open". 1

Choose "Type" to "Menus". Click "Browse..." and select "Close". 2

The enclosed menu becomes a sub menu. 3

Method 2 - Use an add-on "Folder list menu".

Install an add-on "Folder list menu". 4

Make subfolders list with Notepad.(Text file)

C:\
C:\foo1
C:\bar1

Choose type to "Folder list menu". Click "Browse..." and choose list file. 5

Hi there,

great that this is possible. Would be nice to have it a bit easier, like right click on the bar and create new virtual folder or something like that. Lets say the functionality like you have it more or less in firefox browser for the favourites.

Thank you Antonio

I will try to do future examination on that.

Thank you,
