An update about the new Chrome bookmarks manager

I'm certainly happy about this (at least for now) reversion. It is frustrating when a product you use loses functionality in the name of progress.

For me, the basic functionality was folder selection to save the new bookmark into, which no longer seemed to work in the last release.

It did actually, but it was just not very clear and took a number of clicks to do.

Typing the name of the folder you wanted as a search did not work, or at least the behaviour was erratic.

You needed to use the mouse to drill through to find the dir you wanted.

Yeah, this was the biggest annoyance for me as well.

If you want to be able to bookmark quickly, you should check out Booklight, it's an open source Chrome plugin for rapid bookmarking via keyboard shortcuts and it also allows you to open bookmarks quickly.

I never quite figured out where the bookmark goes when you don't pick a folder.
