Bookmarks should be first in address bar
Last modified: 2008-02-18 23:15:11 UTC
I'm sorry, I didn't know if this was "bookmarsk", "history", or "toolbars" because it affects all three. When I type something into the address bar, if its a bookmark that I have, then it shows up, but it should show up above my history. Otherwise, having to scroll and choose through my various combined history/bookmarks is tedious, and defeats the purpose of the awesome bookmark typing system.

Actually we do the following: static void init_relevance_col (GValue *value, EphyNode *node, int group) { int relevance = 0; /* We have three ordered groups: history's base addresses, bookmarks, deep history addresses */ if (group == BOOKMARKS_GROUP) { relevance = 1 << 5; } else if (group == HISTORY_GROUP) { const char *address; int visits; visits = ephy_node_get_property_int (node, EPHY_NODE_PAGE_PROP_VISITS); address = ephy_node_get_property_string (node, EPHY_NODE_PAGE_PROP_LOCATION); visits = MIN (visits, (1 << 5) - 1); if (is_base_address (address)) { relevance = visits << 10; } else { relevance = visits; } } g_value_set_int (value, relevance); } That basically means that we give relevance like this: 1. Really visited websites (no matter if they are history items or bookmark items) 2. Bookmarks 3. Rest It's a matter of taste
I personally think that it could look better, especially because have the time they're the same website and I get to see something like this: ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.foo.com/blah/some/reallylong/pathname.html http://www.foo.com/blahblahblah/dumb.html FOO Website - Awesomeness! http://wtf.foo.com/ilikedirt/anotherwebpage.html. ---------------------------------------------------------- Also, its annoying because it will list the recent bookmark _in_addition_ to the title you give it, so once again, please bear with the ASCII graphic: +--------------------------------------------------------+ [Packages ] <-- what I've typed in http://packages.ubuntu.com Ubuntu Packages +--------------------------------------------------------+ And here those to options turn out to be exactly the same. Also, in turns of preference, I bookmarked them for a reason, because usually I want to go to that webpage more than the others (which I didn't bookmark). Me bookmarking it should give it priority. And having URLs with friendly names mixed together looks... odd at best.
