Just a feature-request - I often record URLs of interesting sites as
favourites, but I find in general I just don't follow them up - the sites I'm
familiar with, I typically just retype in every type as it's easier than
going to a menu. This, as I see it, should not be what the favourites menu
should be used as - a never-used archive - and I thought some people may have
a similar pecadillo.
I had an idea about a possible replacement for the Favourites menu (or
alternative menu) which might be more condusive to revisiting links or
keeping ever-growing URL lists in order.
I find the KDE menu, like the window 'start menu', is much more condusive
to use. a menubar menu (the current state of the bookmarks menu in Konquerer
and almost all browsers) is usually for something in an application that is
very specific - in my mind in any case, these menus are the menus for
application settings, file saving, etc. - technical things. But the 'start
menu' is a menu more associated with arranging, catagorising, and selecting
things - it's a menu which starts thing (as it were), launches. I feel this
is a better menu for the favourites.
Basically what I'm suggesting is: could there be a choice in Konquerer to also
have the favourites in a start-bar-like menu - possibly a little less obvious
than the general start-menu, such as longer and flatter and tucked in the
bottom-right-hand corner of the viewing window - instead of just a menubar
menu (which is boring and not as condusive to use) or a side-pane, which
takes up so much room from the main viewing pane.
Please let me know what you think of this =)
