RFE: firefox-like smart bookmark control
Last modified: 2013-05-27 16:08:34 UTC
A phoenix-like smart bookmark toolbar control would be really slick. Just list all the available smart bookmarks in the 'query-chooser'...
In fact this would also remove the need for (un)collapsable separate smart bookmarks. (Which leads to a lot of problems as we al lremember from Galeon times)
jorn can you post a screen shot?
Personally I felt the query chooser a pain, but that could be just me.

whats the point of this, you can do this in the address entry bar already, plus there is a bug about using the up arrow for fast access to the last item in the drop down list so that you could access your smart bookmarks faster with the keyboard.
because its muche asier to use, for example i'm looking up a bunch of albums at allmusic.com now i can just paste in the names and just hit return (keeping the bookmark selected on allmusic), instead of having to walk that menu all the time. (and i dont need to have like 50 separate smart bookmarks on my toolbar..)
thinking about this, I don't think it would actually hurt to add this as an optional toolbar action. I'm not sure it makes sense to include in the default layout though.
In Firebird (nee Phoenix) and also in Camino, this isn't a "smart bookmark" control, it's a Sherlock plugins control. See http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html. And it's a really, really useful feature.

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
I think this could become an extension (as soon as toolbar-items-from-extensions works). There's a half-finished implementation in the 'toolbar-extras' extension in e-e cvs.
Re-assigning to correct default owner
According to its developer, epiphany-extensions is not under active development anymore. (For reference: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2013-May/msg00035.html and bug 700924.) It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
